Triple glazed tilt and turn windows in Dorset
We survey and fit triple glazed tilt and turn windows across Dorset, from Bournemouth and Poole to smaller towns such as Bridport.
A strong choice for flats, upper floors and escape windows. A tilt and turn window opens inwards in two ways: tilted at the top for secure ventilation, or swung fully open like a door for cleaning and escape.

Rules in England
England requires replacement windows to achieve 1.4 W/m²K, or a Window Energy Rating of band B or better, which good triple glazing passes comfortably. Replacement windows are a controlled fitting. A competent person scheme installer (such as FENSA or Certass) self-certifies the work and notifies the council within 30 days; otherwise a building control body approves it.
Before ordering: Replacing windows on a house is normally permitted development if the new ones look similar. New upper-floor windows in a side wall must be obscure glazed and fixed, or open only above 1.7 m. Flats and maisonettes have no householder permitted development rights, so a change that alters their appearance needs planning permission. An Article 4 direction in a conservation area may mean permission is needed, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
How it works
The surveyor measures every opening, checks ventilation, escape windows and safety-glass zones, and talks through styles. Your written quote lists each item with its glass build-up and U-value, and the price is fixed for that specification.
- Every opening measured, including escape and vent needs
- Frames rated for the weight of triple glass
- Old windows removed and taken away
- Each opening closed up the same day
Questions
Are they suitable as fire escape windows?
Turned fully open, they give a large clear opening, which often meets escape requirements. We check the size on survey.
Can I clean the outside from inside?
Yes. Turned fully open, both faces of the glass can be cleaned from inside the room.
Are tilt and turn windows secure?
Yes. They lock at several points around the sash, and the tilt position stays locked along the sides.
Do you cover all of Dorset?
We arrange surveys and fitting across Dorset.
Do I need permission for triple glazed tilt and turn windows in England?
In England, like-for-like replacements on a house are normally permitted development; flats need permission if the change alters their appearance, Article 4 areas may need permission, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
