Fresh air when you want it. Easy cleaning when you need it.

Tilt and turn windows give you two ways to open one window. Tilt the top inwards for everyday ventilation, or turn the window fully inwards for a wider opening and easy access to the outside glass.

At Creative Glazing, we manufacture and install REHAU uPVC tilt and turn windows for homes across Glasgow and surrounding areas. Their flexible opening makes them a popular option for tenement flats, upper floors and other places where reaching the outside of a window can be difficult.

Why choose tilt and turn windows?

Clean the outside glass from inside your home

Turn the window inwards to reach the exterior glass without leaning out or relying on access from outside. This is particularly useful in Glasgow tenements and upstairs rooms, where routine window cleaning can otherwise be awkward.

Choose how much fresh air comes in

Use the tilt position for a smaller opening at the top, or turn the sash inwards when you want more airflow. It is a practical way to ventilate bedrooms, kitchens and living spaces throughout the year.

Make the most of restricted outdoor space

Because tilt and turn windows open inwards, the sash does not project over a pavement, balcony or other space outside. We can assess the opening and advise on the most suitable design for your property.

Keep your home comfortable

Our REHAU 70mm uPVC frames can be paired with energy efficient double glazing, including argon filled units, Pilkington K glass and thermal spacer bars. A carefully specified and fitted window helps reduce heat loss and draughts. The right glazing can also help reduce noise from outside.

Enjoy lasting style with less maintenance

uPVC frames need no painting and are straightforward to clean. Choose a window layout and finish that suits your home, whether you are updating a tenement flat, replacing windows in a house or planning a larger renovation.

A practical choice for Glasgow tenements

Tenement windows often sit several storeys above ground, making access to the outside glass a consideration. With a tilt and turn window, you can bring the sash inwards for cleaning from the room. The tilt setting also gives you a convenient way to let in fresh air without opening the window fully.

Every property is different. We’ll check the size and position of your windows, the space needed for the sash to open inside, and any requirements that apply to your building before recommending a design.

Frequently asked questions

Do tilt and turn windows open inwards?

Yes. The top tilts inwards for ventilation, while the turn setting allows the sash to swing inwards from the side. You’ll need enough clear space inside the room to use the full opening.

Are tilt and turn windows suitable for tenement flats?

They can be an excellent choice, especially on upper floors where cleaning the outside glass is difficult. Suitability depends on the building, the window opening and any applicable permissions or design requirements.

Can I clean both sides of the glass from indoors?

The inward turn position gives you access to the outside face of the opening sash from inside the room. We’ll show you how to operate and care for your windows after installation.
