Triple glazed tilt and turn windows in Colchester
Triple glazed tilt and turn windows for homes in Colchester: measured on a free survey, made to order and fitted by installation teams working for us across Essex.
Inward-opening sashes that tilt to vent and turn to clean. 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.
Winter light and glass choice in Colchester
Winter days in Colchester are short: about 7 h 46 min of daylight on 21 December, with the sun peaking near 15°. That low angle reaches deep into south-facing rooms, so we match the glass to each elevation rather than using one spec for the whole house.

Rules for tilt and turn windows in England
The rules for replacement windows in England are set by Approved Document L (2021 edition, with 2023 amendments): 1.4 W/m²K, or a Window Energy Rating of band B or better. 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.
Planning: 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
After the free survey you get a written quote naming the frame system, the glass build-up and the whole-window U-value for every item. Windows are made to order, then fitted, sealed and made good, one opening at a time.
