It’s all in the details
Choosing a window style is your most immediate decision when shopping for replacement tilt & turn windows and then it’s a question of choosing a colour, along with some glazing and hardware.
UPVC is the all-time favourite
White is still the overwhelming favourite finish, however, now that we can produce UPVC windows in practically any colour, people’s tastes have broadened and led to them edging away from white at times. It could be that Chartwell Green or Irish Oak is the finish you fancy.
Crisp lines, modern finishes
TWC employs a tried-and-tested 11-stage powder-coating process to apply finishes to Envisage aluminium frames. During this procedure, it incites strong adhesions and results in premium finishes. To formulate modern aluminium woodgrains like Rosewood, Oak and Walnut, we follow the sublimation method. This gives them the appearance of genuine woodgrains.
More than a finishing touch
We don’t believe that anyone has craftspeople quite as talented as those we have at TWC. Our traditional and contemporary handles provide evidence of that, and you will instinctively want to touch them. These handles also pull their weight from a security perspective as their locking system is what keeps the windows so secure.

Common questions about tilt & turn windows
Tilt & turn windows are always a popular choice thanks to their versatility and style. To help you decide if this replacement window style is right for you, we’ve answered some of the most asked questions we get about tilt & turn windows below.
1. What is a tilt & turn window?
A tilt & turn window offers a dual-opening function. With a simple handle turn, the window can be tilted inwardly at the top for controlled ventilation or open it fully from the side. This versatility simplifies ventilation, maintenance and usage.
2. Is a tilt & turn energy efficient?
Yes. A contemporary tilt & turn window has an insulated frame and high-performance glazing. On closing the design, the sash seals tightly against the frame, cutting draughts and heat loss to amplify a home’s energy efficiency levels.
3. What makes tilt and turn windows so popular?
The versatility and innovative functionality of tilt and turn windows are behind the huge popularity of this highly original window style. In a sharp contrast to the classic casement window, opened on a single hinge, tilt and turn windows are operable as their name suggests, with a tilt and a turn.
4. How do you open a tilt and turn window?
A tilt and turn window has the simplest and cleverest of openings. Just a slight turn of the handle causes the window to tilt inwards and if you want to increase the opening, turn the handle some more until it reaches its end point. It couldn’t be any simpler!
5. Can you use blinds with tilt and turn windows?
Almost every type of blind, shade or curtain will work nicely with their design. We advocate the use of bottom-up and top-down blinds as they will keep the windows clear of any obstructions. Vertical blinds are also capable of being moved out of the way to the side when not drawn.
6. How secure are tilt & turn windows?
TWC’s tilt and turn window designs have security built into them, with multiple resilient components and a robust frame. The hinges affixed to the windows are hard-wearing and there is multi cam technology to stop the forcing open of their design.
7. Can you have tilt & turn windows on upper floors?
Absolutely. When the tilt function is employed, it creates a small opening at the top without compromising security. This makes a tilt & turn ideal in scenarios where ventilation is essential without fully opening the design.
8. How difficult is it to clean tilt & turn windows?
Not difficult at all, as the capacity to open them inwardly makes cleaning the frames and glass both on the inside and outside incredibly easy. This is extremely helpful for windows situated on upper floors.
