What Exactly Are Flush Casement Windows And Non-Flush Casements?
It’s understandable for you to not know what the difference between flush casement windows and non-flush casement windows is.
The ‘flush’ is what distinguishes the two products from each other and it refers to a casement window that has window sashes that sit flawlessly with the window frame, creating a perfectly flat surface.
A non-flush casement window isn’t flat like a flush design as its window sashes extend just past the window frame.
You will identify the difference when you look at both windows from a side-on position. Our showroom is the place to do this.
When were flush and non-flush casements developed?
The origins of the flush casement window can be traced back to the 19th century, making it over 200 years old.
It would always have a timber frame, so that explains why homes of the Victorian, Edwardian and late Georgian periods generally have wooden flush casements.
Non-flush casement windows go back even further, first created in the 18th century. It was the job of blacksmiths to build them, which they did using iron, until timber took over, followed by UPVC and aluminium.
Why are flush windows so in fashion again?
Homeowners’ tastes have become more diverse and your modern householder wants a window style with a different aesthetic. Bon Accord Glass brought Envisage flush windows to the market in reaction to this.
Envisage retains the traditional lines and proportions of a classic timber flush casement window but is manufactured from UPVC to ensure it fulfils contemporary security and thermal efficiency obligations.
Which of them will be right for my home?
For a house in a conservation area, flush UPVC windows are a fantastic solution as they have the look of a traditional flush casement, and for that reason, will often receive the green light from planning committees.
Flush sash windows are also a popular choice for modern properties due to their symmetrical perfection, and these types of installations will mostly be finished in either Black or Anthracite Grey.
A non-flush casement window is commonly chosen as a window replacement because it can suit just about any home’s character, so there’s every chance it will complement yours, whether your house is old or new.
