Triple glazed tilt and turn windows in Canterbury
From the first measure to the handover pack, we handle triple glazed tilt and turn windows for homes in Canterbury and the rest of Kent.
European-style hardware built for heavy triple glass. 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 Canterbury
On the shortest day, Canterbury gets about 7 h 52 min of daylight and the midday sun reaches only about 15° above the horizon. Low winter sun means north-facing rooms here gain little solar heat, which is where triple glazing’s lower heat loss helps most.

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.
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.
