tilt and turn windows - the modern window
Tilt and Turn windows, tilt inwards from the top and open partially for ventilation as well as opening fully from the side like a normal house door. Tilt and Turn windows are ideal for easy cleaning or for use as a means of escape in case of an emergency or fire in your home.

Tilt and turn windows usually come available with the following options: variety of glass, glassware, glazing and casement frame styles. Glazing options usually include; single glazed, double glazed, leaded or a decorative effect. Frames are either softwood, hardwood or low maintenance UPVC usually in either white or woodgrain finish (other finishes are available with most companies in our network). The companies in our network in your area only provide upvc windows and doors as a service, not softwood or hardwood.

casement windows
Traditional casement windows with opening lights, or sashes, can easily be made in a small workshop in your backyard with just basic hand-held power tools and basic joints. Add some transoms, mullions and glazing bars and you can make frames of any size with any combination of lights. Material dimensions and design features, such as mouldings, vary to match adjacent windows. On larger frames, member sizes may be beefed up a bit. Larger sashes often have a wider bottom rail, usually 70mm, for greater stability.

sash windows
sash windows are available in uPVC, timber and mock uPVC material. Sash windows are assembled in such a way that they can be easily dismantled for repair and maintenance. People fail to realise this when they encounter any problems with sash windows and think that their only option is to replace them, which is simply not true. These windows have been specifiaclly designed for easy repair and maintenance due to the expense of the initial outlay in purchasing them.

Some timber windows have lasted for centuries because they have been properly maintained, treated and painted on a regular basis. In comparison, plastic windows (PVCu windows), cannot be dismantled and repaired as easily as sash windows, and the components cannot be made by any joiner in some backyard.
