Windows
Aluminium tilt and turn windows for secure ventilation, inward cleaning, and modern upper floors.
Overview
Aluminium tilt and turn windows are for rooms where access, ventilation, and a cleaner frame line all matter. The sash tilts inward at the top for secure everyday airflow, then turns fully inward for cleaning, purge ventilation, or access. Cii supplies and fits aluminium tilt and turn windows across Romford and Essex, checking internal clearance, handle position, blinds, tiles, furniture, glass specification, and fire-escape requirements before recommending this opening style.
Tilt mode supports secure day-to-day ventilation before full inward opening
Class 4 air permeability and 9A water tightness on the tested platform
Secured by Design and PAS 24 options available
Single and dual-colour aluminium powder coating across the RAL range
A practical option for upper floors because the external face can be cleaned from inside

Personalise Your Window
Frame colour: Pure White
Standard colours
Dual colour may be available, with different interior and exterior frame finishes depending on the range.
Tilt-and-turn handle finish
Tilt-and-turn windows use one handle for both opening modes. Finish choice is kept clean so the hardware does not fight the wider frame or the interior room style.
Made to measure. We confirm the colour, glazing, handle finish, and opening layout during your survey.

Design Choices
This aluminium tilt and turn range is normally specified around ventilation control, internal cleaning access, and glazing performance.
Tilt and turn hardware lets the same aluminium platform handle secure everyday ventilation, full inward access, and upper-floor practicality.
Tilt mode opens the sash inward at the top only, so you can keep air moving through the room without committing to a full opening.
Turn mode swings the sash fully inward for easy cleaning, quick purge ventilation, and better access on difficult elevations.
The combination of inward cleaning access, slim aluminium framing, and secure tilt mode makes this route particularly strong for apartments and upper-storey rooms.
Glazing thickness and hardware choice can be adjusted by elevation, room use, and security target without changing the overall frame family.
Glazing build-ups from 24mm to 40mm let the system stay efficient on standard double glazing or step up to triple glazing where the brief is more demanding.
Acoustic laminates and solar-control glass can be specified room by room, which matters on roadside elevations, bedrooms, and sun-exposed upper floors.
Where the project needs tested security, the same platform can be upgraded with PAS 24 and Secured by Design-compliant hardware packages.
Final glazing and security combinations depend on sash size, location, and whether the window is being used as a fire-escape or high-level vent.
Product fit
Aluminium tilt and turn windows are mainly chosen for access and control: tilt for secure ventilation, turn for cleaning from inside, and a stronger contemporary frame line than a standard uPVC route. They are especially useful on apartments, upper floors, bathrooms, kitchens, and rooms where outward-opening windows are awkward.
Optional Upgrade
Aluminium tilt and turn windows are often specified for apartments, upper floors, and contemporary rooms. Integral blinds can keep the inward-opening function clear while giving the room privacy, glare control, and a cleaner architectural finish.
A useful option where the window needs to tilt, turn, clean from inside, and still look minimal.
Magnetic integral blinds
A slim magnetic slider raises, lowers, and tilts the blind inside the sealed glass unit.
Electric integral blinds
Remote operation suits larger panes, harder-to-reach glass, and cleaner contemporary rooms.
We check turn clearance, handle position, blind controls, and glass specification together before quoting.

Best For
Apartments, maisonettes, and upper-floor rooms where inside cleaning matters
Homes needing secure background ventilation without leaving a sash fully open
Modern refurbishments where aluminium sightlines and RAL colour choice matter
Built on the AluK 58BW TBT tilt-before-turn platform, these windows use thermally broken framing with polyamide thermal breaks and glazing compatibility from 24mm to 40mm, like the aluminium casement range. Whole-window U-values start at 1.4 W/m²K and can reach 1.2 W/m²K with triple glazing, allowing the aluminium frame aesthetic without giving away the thermal standards expected on current residential work.
Tilt-before-turn hardware gives a useful security advantage in day-to-day use because the window can ventilate in tilt mode without opening fully. The underlying system can also be specified to PAS 24 and Secured by Design standards, making it suitable for projects where controlled ventilation and tested security both matter.
The finish range covers standard favourites such as anthracite, black, and white, plus bespoke RAL powder coating and dual-colour combinations. Aluminium also keeps the frame profile visually tighter than bulkier replacement systems, which is often a deciding factor on contemporary projects.
Cii's aluminium tilt and turn installations are covered by our 10-year installation guarantee and signed off on completion to the agreed project specification.
Modern Ventilation
Aluminium tilt and turn windows are built around secure ventilation, clean sightlines, and easy cleaning access, which makes them a practical choice for upper floors, apartments, and openings you cannot reach from outside.
Secure top ventilation comes first, then the sash can open fully inward when you need full access or cleaning.
The inward-opening action makes the outer pane easier to reach from inside, which is a major practical benefit upstairs.
Aluminium keeps the frame profile visually neat and crisp, which suits modern refurbishments and apartment-style elevations.
Tested security standards sit alongside the practical day-to-day benefits tilt and turn users expect from this opening style.
How It Works
Step 1
We measure every opening and check the lintel, sill, and reveal, then plan each window around the inward action: whether furniture, curtains, blinds, taps, or a deep window board would catch the sash as it turns, where the single handle sits for easy reach, how upper-floor rooms will be cleaned from inside, which rooms need a restrictor or a fire-escape sash, and where secure tilt-mode ventilation matters most. We agree single or dual-colour powder coating and the security specification before quoting.
Step 2
Each window is built to the measured size on the thermally broken 58BW TBT tilt-before-turn platform, with the tilt-and-turn hardware, 24mm to 40mm double or triple glazing (acoustic or solar-control where specified), the powder-coat RAL finish inside and out, and PAS 24 or Secured by Design hardware where the project calls for it, all locked together before manufacture.
Step 3
Our Cii team fits and seals each frame, then sets the tilt-before-turn hardware so the sash tilts securely at the top and swings fully inward for cleaning, checks the handle throw and any restrictor, fits trickle vents where Building Regulations require them, and hands over with the Cii 10-year installation guarantee and Assure certification.

Tell us the opening and the finish you want, and we will survey it, confirm the aluminium tilt & turn windows specification, and give you a fixed written quote with no obligation rather than a generic estimate.
“Had sliding sash windows fitted throughout. The quality is brilliant, they look period-authentic, and the tilt-clean feature is a godsend. Thoroughly recommend Cii.”
“Outstanding from start to finish. The casement windows are a perfect fit and the energy difference is already noticeable. The lads were tidy, efficient, and clearly knew their trade.”
“Replaced all 12 windows across our Victorian terrace. Every window fits perfectly, the sightlines are great, and the house is noticeably warmer. Superb job.”
