What sets our tilt & turn windows apart in Hitchin.
Dual-Action Opening
Turn the handle 90° and the sash tilts inward top-first for secure ventilation. Turn it 180° and the sash swings fully inward for cleaning and egress.
Safe Interior Cleaning
Clean the outside of the glass from inside the room — essential for flats, first-floor bedrooms and any window above a driveway or drop.
Doc B Fire Egress
The full 180° turn provides a compliant fire-escape opening — required on habitable rooms above ground floor without another route out.
Continental Sightlines
Flush interior appearance with no protruding handle, ideal for architectural interiors and window seats. Concealed hinges for a clean external look.
Child & Restrictor Safety
Lockable tilt-only position with a security key — ventilation without the ability to accidentally push the sash into a full turn.
PAS 24 Multi-Point Locking
Up to 8 locking points around the sash perimeter. Naturally more secure than a standard casement thanks to the geometry of the mechanism.
What Hitchin homeowners tell us.
"Slim aluminium sashes in anthracite grey — exactly the balance of period feel and modern lines we wanted. Conservation area approved."
"Punctual, quiet, tidy, honest. Three years on the front door still closes with that satisfying thud, and the paint finish hasn't moved."
"A proper trade. Every promise kept — from the timescale to the finish. We've since recommended them to three neighbours."

- Do you handle conservation-area planning in Hitchin?
- The A1(M) and A41 corridor means Hertfordshire homeowners consistently benefit from acoustic-rated glazing. We spec triple-glazed and laminated options that transform a home's soundscape. We prepare planning-ready drawings with matched sightlines, glazing-bar depths and hardware for Hitchin projects that require them.
- What guarantee covers tilt & turn windows in Hitchin?
- Every tilt & turn windows installation in Hitchin is covered by our insurance-backed 10-year guarantee — parts, labour and finish. Aftercare is direct with the installing team, not a call centre.
- Can I see recent tilt & turn windows work near Hitchin?
- Yes — we can share recent tilt & turn windows case studies from across Hertfordshire, including projects in Ickleford, Great Wymondley and neighbouring towns. Ask your surveyor at the on-site visit.
- What thermal performance does tilt & turn windows achieve in Hitchin?
- Energy-efficient tilt & turn windows installed across Hitchin, Hertfordshire achieve whole-window U-values of 0.9–1.4 W/m²K, with the exact frame and glazing specification confirmed after survey.
- When are tilt & turn windows the right choice?
- Above ground floor they are safer to clean, provide a compliant fire escape and make secure ventilation straightforward. They are especially well suited to flats and bedrooms.
- Do they take up interior space when open?
- In tilt mode, the top of the sash intrudes about 100mm — enough for airflow, not enough to catch on curtains or blinds. In full-turn mode the sash swings inward and needs clear space, so we advise against them behind kitchen sinks.
- Can children open them?
- The tilt position is lockable with a key, so children can't force a full turn. This is standard on any tilt & turn we fit above ground floor.
