Reversible Windows
What are fully reversible windows?
Fully reversible windows, like those from VEKA, are designed to offer maximum convenience and practicality, especially for homes in multi-storey buildings or hard-to-reach places.
What sets these windows apart is their unique sash, which can rotate a full 180 degrees on a horizontal axis. This means you can completely flip the window around, allowing you to clean the exterior glass from inside your home—no ladders or awkward reaching required!
Similar to top-hung windows, fully reversible windows offer smooth outward opening, but their ability to rotate fully makes them particularly suited for high-rise apartments or areas where window access is limited.
This clever design not only makes cleaning easier but also enhances ventilation, allowing you to open your windows wide or just a little, depending on your needs—all while maintaining a sleek, modern look that complements any home.
In short, fully reversible windows give you the flexibility, ease of use, and safety you need, without sacrificing design.

How fully reversible windows work
We've designed our reversible windows with a smooth and secure rotating mechanism that allows the windowpane to pivot completely. This unique feature means you can clean the external glass from the safety and comfort of your home—no more risky leans out the window or expensive external cleaning services.
Plus, our rotation mechanism is carefully designed to ensure it doesn’t interfere with your room’s interior, so your blinds and curtains are safe from snagging.
Key benefits of reversible windows
- Easy cleaning
Our reversible windows redefine window maintenance. With the ability to rotate the window fully, cleaning both sides from inside your home becomes a breeze, eliminating the hassle and cost of external cleaning services.
- Better ventilation
These windows put you in control of your environment. Easily adjust the opening to welcome a gentle breeze or to maximize airflow, all while maintaining the safety and security of your home.
- Child safety
Our fully reversible windows feature secure locking mechanisms, ensuring they can’t be opened too far, keeping your little ones safe while still allowing for ventilation. Plus, cleaning from the inside means no risky leaning out.
- Sleek and modern design
With a contemporary look that complements any modern architectural style, our reversible windows are not only functional but also stylish. Their sleek design is particularly beneficial in places where space around the window is limited.
- Space efficiency
Designed to be unobtrusive, these windows ensure that when open, they do not take up valuable living space, maintaining both the aesthetic and functional use of your interior areas.
- Customisable colour
Choose from a variety of colours to perfectly match your home’s style. Whether you want a classic look or something bolder, you can personalise your windows to suit your taste.
Customisation options for fully reversible windows
When it comes to fully reversible windows, customisation is key to making them truly your own. With a variety of options available, you can choose the perfect combination of colours and glazing to suit both your style and practical needs.
Frame materials and colours
You don’t have to compromise on style with reversible windows. At Balhousie, there’s a frame material that fits your vision. And our colour options? Endless.
From classic whites and neutrals to bold, modern tones, you can pick the perfect shade to complement your home’s interior or exterior. We want to make sure your windows reflect your taste.
Glazing options for reversible windows
Glazing does more than just add a finishing touch—it plays a huge role in your home’s comfort and energy efficiency. You can choose from double or triple glazing to enhance insulation, helping keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
For those living in noisy areas, acoustic glazing is a great option to reduce outside noise, giving you peace and quiet indoors. Whatever your priority, there’s a glazing option that fits your lifestyle.

Energy efficiency and security
Our fully reversible windows not only offer convenience but also provide excellent energy efficiency and security. Upgrading your windows can help you keep your home safe and comfortable while cutting down on energy costs.
Secure locking systems for reversible windows
At Balhousie, security is our top priority. Our fully reversible windows come equipped with advanced locking systems that keep your home secure.
These secure locking mechanisms ensure that once closed, your windows stay firmly in place, offering peace of mind and protection for your family. Whether you’re on the ground floor or several stories up, safety is never compromised.
Energy ratings and thermal efficiency
Poorly insulated windows can leak valuable heat, which means higher energy bills and a bigger carbon footprint. As energy costs continue to rise, now’s the perfect time to address any energy loss in your home.
Modern glazing, especially double or triple glazing, significantly improves thermal efficiency compared to windows that are more than 15 years old.
If you’ve noticed draughts, moisture, or mould around your windows, these are signs they’re no longer providing proper insulation.
