Enjoy flexible ventilation, easy access and contemporary styling with tilt & turn windows from Snugfit Windows.
Designed with a clever dual-opening mechanism, tilt & turn windows can be opened in two different ways. Tilt the top of the window inwards for controlled everyday ventilation, or turn the handle to open the sash fully inwards when you need greater access.
This versatility makes them a practical choice for homes where ventilation, easy cleaning and convenient operation are important.
Based in South Shields and established in 2005, Snugfit Windows supplies and installs made-to-measure tilt & turn windows throughout South Tyneside, Newcastle and the wider North East.
In the tilt position, the top of the sash opens inwards while the bottom remains in place. This creates an opening at the top of the window, allowing fresh air into the room without opening the window fully.
In the turn position, the sash opens fully inwards from the side, providing a much larger opening and easy access to both sides of the glass.
Both functions are controlled using the same handle, giving you greater flexibility from a single window.
The tilt function creates an opening across the upper section of the window, making it ideal for providing controlled ventilation throughout the room.
Because the sash remains largely within the frame, you can introduce fresh air without having a wide-open window projecting into or outside the property.
It’s a particularly useful feature in rooms where regular ventilation is important.
The sash then opens inwards from the side, providing a much wider opening.
This makes it easy to increase airflow when required and also gives you convenient access to the outside surface of the glass.
The inward-opening design can be particularly useful in locations where an outward-opening casement window would be impractical.
Because a tilt & turn window can open fully into the room, you can access both sides of the glass from inside your home.
This can make routine window cleaning considerably more convenient, particularly on upper floors where reaching the exterior surface of a conventional window might otherwise be difficult.
For many homeowners, this is one of the biggest practical advantages of choosing tilt & turn windows.
That’s perfectly suitable in many situations, but there are locations where an outward-opening window isn’t ideal.
Because tilt & turn windows open inwards, they can provide an alternative for areas where there is restricted space immediately outside the window.
Our team can assess the proposed location and help determine whether a tilt & turn design is appropriate for your property.
Their simple lines and large glazed areas can work particularly well with contemporary homes and renovation projects.
A range of frame colours and finishes may be available depending on the window system selected, allowing you to coordinate your windows with the overall appearance of your property.
We’ll show you the available options and help you choose a specification that complements your home.
We’ll measure your existing window openings and discuss how you use the rooms, the ventilation you require and the appearance you’re hoping to achieve.
Your replacement windows can then be specified around those individual requirements.
Once they’re ready, our experienced fitting team will professionally install your new windows and ensure the tilt and turn mechanisms operate correctly.
If you’re looking for replacement windows offering flexible ventilation, convenient cleaning and a clean contemporary appearance, tilt & turn windows could be an excellent choice.
