uPVC Tilt & Turn Windows – Versatile, Safe and Energy Efficient

Tilt and turn windows are a remarkably versatile window design that has become increasingly popular with Irish homeowners seeking a combination of flexible ventilation, easy cleaning, and high security. With a single handle movement, the window can be opened in two distinct ways: tilting inward from the top for gentle, draught-free ventilation (ideal for night-time use or in rooms where security is a concern), or turning fully inward like a casement for maximum ventilation and for easy cleaning of the outer glass from inside your home. Northern Storm installs premium uPVC tilt and turn windows throughout Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

The inward-turning function is particularly valuable in apartment blocks, multi-storey buildings, or any property where access to the outside of the window from ground level is impractical. Both the inner and outer pane surfaces can be cleaned safely from inside the room, eliminating the need for ladders or professional window cleaning services. This is a significant practical advantage that many homeowners discover they value greatly once they experience it.

From an energy performance perspective, tilt and turn windows are outstanding. The large glass area and minimal frame sightlines maximise solar gain, while the precision-engineered compression seals that run around the entire perimeter of the sash create an extremely airtight closure that eliminates cold draughts and reduces heat loss to a minimum. Our standard specification uses A-rated double glazing, with triple glazing available for passive house and NZEB projects.

Child safety is an important consideration with tilt and turn windows. The tilt position provides natural ventilation with the window open by only a few centimetres at the top, making it impossible for a child to fall out while still benefiting from fresh air. This child-safe ventilation mode gives parents genuine peace of mind in bedrooms and playrooms.

High Security Locking & Certification

Our tilt and turn windows feature robust multi-point locking mechanisms that engage at multiple points around the frame perimeter when in the closed and locked position. The hardware meets the requirements of PAS 24 enhanced security standards and, combined with our laminated safety glass options, these windows provide an exceptional level of resistance against forced entry.

All Northern Storm windows are installed by our experienced, fully trained installation teams and are covered by a comprehensive product and installation warranty. As a SEAI-approved contractor, we can also assist eligible homeowners in claiming government energy grants toward the cost of replacement windows. Contact us today for a free survey and quotation.
