Tilt and Turn Windows Hampshire: Benefits, Security, Style & Savings
JSONIf you’re upgrading your home’s double glazing in Hampshire, the sheer number of options can be overwhelming. While traditional casement windows remain popular, discerning homeowners across Hampshire, including areas like Winchester and Southampton, are increasingly discovering the unique advantages of Tilt and Turn uPVC Windows. Originating in Germany, this innovative design offers a versatile blend of function, security, and aesthetics that perfectly suits modern living in the South of England.
As a member of Glass & Glazing Federation we ensure we are your local Hampshire window experts and believe every homeowner deserves a window solution that delivers on all fronts. Here is an in-depth look at the top benefits of choosing our premium Tilt and Turn uPVC Windows for your property in the region.
1. Tilt and Turn windows – Unbeatable Ventilation with Dual Opening System
The hallmark of the Tilt and Turn window is its unique dual-action opening mechanism, offering superior control over your home’s airflow.
- The “Tilt” Position (Secure Ventilation): With a simple turn of the handle, the top of the sash tilts inward, creating a secure gap. This is perfect for all-weather, draught-free background ventilation, allowing stale air to escape without fully exposing your home.
- The “Turn” Position (Full Airflow): Turning the handle vertically allows the window to open fully inward. This provides maximum, rapid airflow, ideal for quickly airing out a room or refreshing your living space on a warm Hampshire day.
2. Enhanced Security and Safety Features for Hampshire Homes
For peace of mind, KJM Tilt and Turn Windows offer significant security benefits, which is a major concern for Hampshire homeowners.
- Secure Night-Time Ventilation: The tilt function acts as a secure vent. Because the window only opens a small amount at the top, it remains locked and inaccessible to intruders, allowing you to enjoy fresh air while you sleep without compromising security.
- Advanced Multi-Point Locking: Our durable frames feature robust, internal gearing systems and multi-point locking mechanisms that secure the sash firmly into the frame at various points, offering enhanced resistance against forced entry.
- Child Safety: The tilt-only function is an invaluable child safety feature. You can ventilate rooms without the risk of a small child or pet falling out, providing a safe solution for upstairs windows.
3. Superior Energy Efficiency & Savings on Hampshire Bills
Choosing energy-efficient double-glazing is crucial for reducing your monthly bills and carbon footprint.
- Advanced Insulation: KJM Tilt and Turn windows are designed with high-quality uPVC profiles and advanced glazing technology. The tight seal created by the sophisticated mechanism minimises gaps, preventing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer.
- Reduced Energy Bills: By significantly improving your home’s thermal performance, you rely less on central heating and air conditioning, leading to noticeable savings on your energy bills in Hampshire.
4. Effortless Cleaning and Maintenance
One of the most praised features by homeowners is the ease of maintenance.
- Easy Internal Cleaning: Thanks to the full inward opening ‘turn’ function, you can safely and easily clean the outer pane of glass from the inside of your home. This is particularly beneficial for windows on upper floors, potentially saving you the cost and hassle of hiring a window cleaner.
- Durable uPVC Materials: Constructed from high-quality, durable materials, these uPVC windows are built to withstand harsh coastal and inland weather conditions across Hampshire and require minimal maintenance.
5. Sleek, Modern Aesthetics
While highly functional, Tilt and Turn windows also deliver a clean, contemporary look that enhances curb appeal.
- Contemporary Design: Their streamlined, minimal profile and large glass area offer a sleek design perfect for modern architectural styles.
- Versatile Finishes: At KJM Windows and Doors, you can choose from a wide range of colours and finishes to ensure your new windows perfectly complement your home’s existing aesthetic.

Tilt and Turn window FAQ’s
A tilt and turn window is a versatile window that opens in two different ways using just one handle mechanism. It gives you control over ventilation, security, and cleaning.
Key Opening Positions
Here are the two distinct ways you can operate the window:
1. Tilt Position (Top-Vented):
The window’s top tilts inwards, hinged at the bottom.
This creates a small, secure gap at the top.
Best for: Gentle, secure ventilation and letting in fresh air while keeping the rain out.
2. Turn Position (Side-Hung):
The entire window swings inwards like a door, hinged on the side.
This provides a full, wide opening.
Best for: Maximum airflow, letting in a lot of natural light, and easily cleaning the outside of the glass from inside the room.
Key Factors That Influence the Price
To get an accurate figure, you’ll need to consider these factors:
1. Material:
uPVC (Plastic): Generally the most affordable option.
Aluminium or Timber: Usually more expensive than uPVC, often used for specific aesthetic or structural requirements.
2. Glazing:
Double Glazing: The standard option.
Triple Glazing: More expensive, but offers better energy efficiency (lower U-values).
Specialist Glass: Laminated, toughened, acoustic, or tinted glass will increase the price.
3. Size and Customisation:
Non-Standard Sizes: Windows that are very large or custom-sized to fit an unusual opening will cost more.
Colour: Standard white frames are usually the cheapest. Coloured or wood-grain effect frames (like grey or black) often cost 15-25% more.
