It’s all in the details
Hardware needs to be just as prioritised as colour and UPVC frames because it all shapes a reversible window. ProGlaze’s windows lend themselves to personalisation. So do what it takes to align them to your home.
Multiple shades and woodgrain finishes
You can also explore different combinations before settling on your preferred look. This is a good idea in the event of struggling to select between two finishes, as ProGlaze lets you have dual-coloured reversible windows for a colour contrast.
Finishing touches that matter
The shape, position and finish of window handles can influence how the completed window looks and feels to use. Select from a range of handle styles to suit the frame and wider décor of your Scottish property.

Common questions about reversible windows
Can’t quite get your head around how reversible windows work or unsure if they’re a style you should be considering? Our common questions will enlighten you on all that. Any further information can be uncovered by speaking to one of ProGlaze’s design experts.
1. What are reversible windows?
Reversible windows have a sash that rotates within the frame, allowing the outer face of the glass to be brought towards the inside of the property. This means you can clean the external surface without needing to reach it from outside.
2. How do you open reversible windows?
The sash operates through a controlled rotating mechanism built into the frame. Once opened, the window can be turned within its frame to provide access to the outer glass. The mechanism is designed to make operation straightforward while keeping the sash securely supported.
3. Are reversible windows energy efficient?
Yes. Modern UPVC frames combined with suitable glazing can provide effective thermal insulation. By limiting heat transfer through the window, the specification can help maintain a more consistent indoor temperature and reduce draughts.
4. Do reversible windows offer good security?
Yes. When closed, the sash is held securely within the frame using robust locking hardware. The rotating mechanism is designed as part of the window’s construction rather than compromising its security.
5. Where are reversible windows most suited?
They’re particularly useful in flats, apartments and upper-storey rooms where reaching the outside of the glass can be difficult. However, their practical opening arrangement means they can also be considered for houses and other properties where straightforward external cleaning is a priority.
6. Can reversible windows be customised?
Yes. You can personalise the appearance through the choice of UPVC colour, woodgrain finish, glazing and hardware. Decorative options such as Georgian bars, leaded glass and stained glass can also be considered.
7. Do reversible windows require lots of maintenance?
No. UPVC requires relatively little routine care, while the reversible mechanism makes the outside of the glass much easier to access. This can remove the need for ladders or awkward reaching when carrying out normal window cleaning.
8. Why choose reversible windows over another style?
Their biggest advantage is the combination of ventilation, accessibility and easier cleaning. If you have windows on an upper floor or in another location where external access is inconvenient, being able to rotate the sash from inside can make a noticeable difference to everyday use.
