If you have ever found yourself struggling with a window that is difficult to clean, lets in draught or simply doesn’t provide the ventilation you need, then tilt and turn windows might be exactly what your home is missing.
At Glitz Windows, located on Chipstead Valley Road in Coulsdon, London and we have been installing tilt and turn windows in Surrey and London for over 25 years. We are experts in tilt and turn windows and we are here to help you see why so many people are turning to them.
A tilt and turn window is a very cleverly designed window that has two very different functions depending on how you turn the handle.
The tilt function – simply turn the handle to the first position and the top of the window will tilt in. This is great for ventilation, safe in the knowledge that the window won’t open in the wind. It’s perfect for leaving open overnight or in rainy weather.
The turn function – turn the handle further and the window will open in on a 90-degree turn, much like a door. This makes cleaning the outside of the window from inside your home very easy, not to mention letting in some fresh air through the open window.
Two functions. One window. It’s a very cleverly designed window that has been popular in Europe for decades. Now, it’s one of the most requested windows we’re asked to install in Surrey.
In terms of home improvements, who you choose to carry out work on your windows is just as important as the quality of the window itself. At Glitz Windows, we are proud to say that we are the first choice for residents in Coulsdon and Surrey.
At GLITZ Windows & Conservatories Ltd, we pride ourselves on delivering personalized double glazing solutions for both residential and commercial clients. Our commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction drives everything we do. From consultation to installation, we ensure durable, energy-efficient, and visually appealing results that stand the test of time.
Our tilt and turn windows offer more than just aesthetic appeal. Here is why Surrey homeowners are increasingly choosing this versatile design:
Open the window from the top and you get a steady flow of air. This is safe to do at night, even in light rain, while still keeping your children and pets safe inside.
Tilt & Turn windows seal tightly against a continuous compression gasket on the entire frame. This is further enhanced by the multi-point espagnolette locking system, which prevents draughts from entering your home while also reducing external noises.
The inward opening action of this window type ensures that wind pressure acts to close the window tighter, not open it. Combined with argon-filled Low E double glazing, your home will stay warm, dry and draught-free year-round.
As the window opens fully inward, you can clean the two panes of glass from inside your room. No ladder required. No stretching from the awkward position of a casement window. This is especially important for first-floor and above windows in houses in Coulsdon, Croydon and the rest of the Surrey region. As the window opens fully inward, you can clean the two panes of glass from inside your home. No ladder, no stretching, no worries. Simple, safe and easy.
We know every home is unique in its own way. That’s why we offer our tilt and turn windows in a range of materials:
Our uPVC tilt and turn windows are our most popular option. They offer fantastic value for money, are low maintenance and offer excellent thermal performance.
If you are looking for a modern look with ultra-slim sightlines, then aluminium tilt and turn windows are the way forward. They are incredibly strong, allowing for more glass in each frame and more light in your home.
If you have an old house or just like the natural look, then our timber tilt and turn windows can provide the elegance and style of a bygone era combined with modern convenience. These have been designed to avoid warping and give a luxurious feel to any room.
For maximum flexibility, we have available the upvc stable door with tilt and turn window hybrid. This means that you can open the top section of your door for ventilation purposes while still keeping the bottom section closed, ideal for pet owners or families with young children.
To help you make an informed decision, we have outlined the technical attributes of our range.

It is quite simple and straightforward.
To Tilt: Simply turn the handle 90 degrees (so that it is horizontal) and pull the top towards you.
To Turn: Close the window, turn the handle a further 90 degrees (so that it is pointing upwards) and the window will swing in towards you like a door.
To Lock: Simply turn the window back into the closed position and turn the handle down.
Tilt and turn windows open in. This is one of the main advantages of these windows – they open in, tilt in at the top for ventilation and turn in from the side for complete access. This makes them great for ‘easy clean’ from the safety of your room.
Tilt and turn windows are among the safest window types. They feature a multi-point locking system, which means the entire frame is securely locked. Even when the window is in the ’tilt’ position, it remains securely attached to the frame. It is nearly impossible for anyone to break into your house using these windows.
Tilt and turn window cost depends on the material used. It can be uPVC, aluminium, or timber. It also depends on the size of the window. Contact us to get your quote absolutely free!
