Flush Casement And Non Flush Windows – What’s The Difference?
Both are very unique window products, with the ‘flush’ feature being the key differentiator between the two styles.
‘Flush’ casement windows are named after the window sashes which sit flush with the window frame, creating an admirably flat finish.
The standard ‘non flush’ or ‘lipped’ casement window contains sashes which slightly overhang the window frame.
Visit our state-of-the-art Norwich showroom which displays a fantastic range of both window styles.
How long have flush and non-flush casement windows been around?
Flush casement windows date back over 200 years to the beginning of the 19th century and are still a popular choice today. Most windows during this period were constructed with timber.
Timber-framed flush windows are often associated with historical buildings from the Georgian, Edwardian and Victorian eras.
The most popular window style in Britain today is the non-flush casement window. This window solution has existed for an even longer period, dating back to the 18th century. It was originally built from iron, until that material was overtaken by timber and then UPVC and aluminium.
What triggered the flush window revival?
People want their homes to stand out with a unique look! Companies like us understand that flush windows provide the alternative elegance that many homeowners seek to add to their property.
Our interpretation of a modern, but quintessentially traditional flush window, called Envisage, is crafted using easily maintained UPVC or aluminium. Not only do our flush frame windows retain the classic look, they also meet modern day needs by being highly secure and energy efficient.
Which is right for my home?
Flush windows made from UPVC are considered the ideal window replacement by planners for historic properties and homes situated in conversion areas. Their unique styling complements the features of the property, whilst ensuring that the traditional look is maintained.
In addition to providing the perfect solution to period properties, flush windows are also highly suited to modern buildings, particularly when finished in the popular colour of Anthracite Grey.
Casement windows have the distinct character and aesthetics to complement almost every type of property. Old or new, big or small, this window style is always a prized window option.
