UPVC Tilt and Turn Windows

Two opening modes, one handle: tilt inward for secure background ventilation, or turn fully inward for effortless cleaning from inside your home. A-rated as standard, severe weather-rated, and available in 18 colours.

What Are Tilt and Turn Windows and How Do They Work?

Tilt and turn windows are a dual-function window style, controlled by a single handle, that has been standard across Europe for decades and is now one of the fastest-growing window choices in the UK. Understanding how they work makes it obvious why homeowners and developers are switching over from traditional casement windows.

Tilt mode: turn the handle to 90 degrees and the top of the sash tilts inward, creating a secure gap for background ventilation. The window stays locked at the bottom, so it can’t be pushed open from outside. It’s the safest way to leave a window open overnight, in a child’s bedroom, or in any ground-floor room.

Turn mode: turn the handle a full 180 degrees and the entire sash swings inward on a side hinge, giving you complete access to both sides of the glass from inside the room. This is what makes cleaning upper-floor windows straightforward and safe, without a ladder or a window cleaner.

Ecologic’s uPVC tilt and turn windows are A-rated as standard and built to perform in all conditions, making them a popular choice for homes, apartments, and commercial properties across Worcester and the West Midlands.

How Much Do Tilt and Turn Windows Cost?

Tilt and turn window prices depend on size, glazing, colour and how many windows you’re replacing, but as a general guide, a single uPVC tilt and turn window supplied and fitted typically costs more than an equivalent casement window of the same size, because of the additional hardware needed for the dual-opening mechanism. Triple glazing, non-white colours, and larger openings will all add to the price.

Energy Efficiency: Double and Triple Glazed Tilt and Turn Windows

Every Ecologic tilt and turn window is A-rated as standard, with double glazing included and triple glazing available for enhanced thermal insulation and superior noise reduction. Triple glazed tilt and turn windows are a particularly strong choice for properties on busy roads, near transport routes, or in urban locations where acoustic comfort matters as much as heat retention.

The tight, multi-point seal formed when the window closes in turn mode is one of the most effective draught barriers available in any window style, making tilt and turn windows an excellent choice for anyone prioritising energy performance and lower heating bills.

Security and Tilt and Turn Window Locks

Every Ecologic uPVC tilt and turn window comes fitted with a multi-point locking system as standard, engaging at multiple points around the frame simultaneously for robust resistance against forced entry. When the window is in tilt mode, the locks keep it secured at the base, so it cannot be pushed open or manipulated from outside. Even partially open, a tilt and turn window offers considerably more security than an equivalent casement left on the latch.

The inward-opening turn mode also makes tilt and turn windows a compliant option for rooms requiring an emergency egress window under Part B of the UK Building Regulations, offering a clear, unobstructed opening from inside the property.

Colour and Style Options

Ecologic uPVC tilt and turn windows are available in 18 durable colour finishes, applied directly to the uPVC profile so they won’t peel, fade, or need repainting. Choose from:

• White: the clean, classic finish that suits any property
• Anthracite grey: a contemporary, architectural finish popular on modern homes and extensions
• Woodgrain effects: including rosewood and Irish oak, for the look of timber without the upkeep
• Heritage and mid-tone options: subtler tones for period properties

Hardware is available in 7 furniture colours, with both bevelled and sculptured frame profiles offered across the range, giving you complete flexibility to match your home’s style.
