The Smart, Stylish Choice: Tilt & Turn Windows for Surrey Homes

4 min read Windows

When it comes to upgrading your home, few choices make as much practical and visual impact as your windows. For Surrey homeowners looking for something versatile, secure, and beautifully designed, tilt and turn windows tick every box.

At Sheerwater Glass, we supply and install high-quality tilt and turn windows in uPVC, Slimline uPVC, aluminium, timber, and timber alternative styles, each crafted for lasting performance and modern living.

What Are Tilt & Turn Windows?

Tilt and turn windows are one of the most adaptable window styles on the market. Using innovative dual-purpose technology, they can be opened and tilted in multiple ways, giving you total control over ventilation, safety, and ease of cleaning.

As their name suggests, they work in two distinct positions. You can tilt the top of the window inwards to let in a gentle flow of air without compromising security, or open it fully from the side for maximum ventilation and easy access to clean the glass from inside.

This clever design makes tilt and turn windows ideal for a wide range of homes, from family houses and new builds to apartments where external access is limited. They can be finished in a wide choice of colours and materials, allowing you to match your windows perfectly to your property’s character.

Key Benefits of Tilt & Turn Windows

1. Dual-Purpose Functionality

The main appeal of tilt and turn windows lies in their flexibility. Their dual-opening system allows you to choose between gentle ventilation or full access depending on your needs. You can tilt the sash for a constant supply of fresh air while keeping your home secure, or turn the handle to open the window completely when you want a wide, unobstructed view.

2. Exceptional Energy Efficiency

Our tilt and turn windows are designed with performance in mind. Each unit features double glazing with argon gas filling and low E internal glass to retain heat and block cold air. This not only keeps your home warmer and more comfortable all year round but also helps reduce energy bills.

The inclusion of bubble weather seals ensures that the window performs to the highest standards, keeping draughts and water out while helping to muffle external noise.

3. High Security as Standard

Security is a top priority for any homeowner, and tilt and turn windows deliver complete peace of mind. Every unit includes all-round multipoint locking and internally glazed panes for enhanced strength.

Our systems also feature tilt restrictors for added child safety and comply with PAS 24 and BS 7412 standards, ensuring top-tier protection for your home and family.

4. Easy Cleaning and Maintenance

One of the practical advantages of tilt and turn windows is how easy they are to maintain. Because the sash opens inwards, you can safely clean both sides of the glass from inside your home – perfect for upper floors or hard-to-reach areas.

5. Stylish, Customisable Design

Every home is different, which is why we offer a choice of slimline uPVC, uPVC, aluminium, timber, and timber alternative frames.

  • uPVC tilt and turn windows are low-maintenance, durable, and excellent value for money.

  • Aluminium tilt and turn windows offer slim sightlines and a modern aesthetic, perfect for contemporary homes.

  • Timber and timber alternative options provide classic warmth and charm, ideal for period or character properties.

With a wide range of finishes and colours to choose from, our team can help you design a window that complements your home beautifully.
