uPVC Tilt and Turn Windows Leicester
Quality uPVC Tilt & Turn Windows Installed in Leicestershire
Tilt and turn windows are the smart choice for Leicester homeowners who want flexible ventilation, easy cleaning from inside and modern security.
With a simple handle twist, the window tilts inwards from the top for safe fresh air, or swings fully open like a door for maximum light and access.
Perfect for Leicester family homes, flats and upper-floor rooms, our made-to-measure uPVC and aluminium tilt and turn windows are A+ energy rated as standard. They’re especially popular where space is tight outside, child safety matters, or you want to clean upstairs windows without a ladder.
Each of our uPVC tilt and turn openers is available in a range of styles, colours, glazing, and configuration styles.
Why Choose Tilt and Turn Windows?

Our tilt and turn windows use advanced multi-chambered frames and low-E glazing for U-values as low as 0.9 W/m²K. Keep heat in, draughts out and cut your energy bills in Leicester's chilly winters.

What Are Tilt & Turn Windows?
Tilt & turn windows are a versatile window design that can be opened in two ways. They can tilt inwards from the top for secure ventilation, allowing fresh air without fully opening the window.
Alternatively, they can swing inward like a casement window when the handle is turned horizontally, providing easy access for cleaning and emergency egress. These windows are popular in modern Leicester properties, extensions, conservatories and terraced houses, offering energy efficiency, security, and ease of maintenance while fitting various design aesthetics.

Professional, skilled, great communication from the on-site team - honestly, the best workmen I’ve ever had. They left the place tidy and neat. Thanks guys! They did a great job on a dreary, winter’s day with a smile. I love the new porch, which was a decent price. Honestly though, the sales guy Tom and the crew of Cal, Jake and Aaron were great. After having had a bad experience before with a different company, I’ll be using Phair Windows to replace my windows in the near future as well.
