Window Explanation
Standard uPVC Windows
Standard Casement windows are windows you would usually find on most properties where windows have been previously installed since the 1970s. Where the opener option is chosen, they are shaped and protruded from the main window frame towards the outside. There is a variety of different colours to choose from and slightly different shape options. The shapes include chamfered and sculptured. Chamfered is a style that has a more traditional angled shape, and the sculptured style is one with a more modern curve. The inside of the window beading will match the shape that is chosen for the framework.

Flush casements are a more modern technological window design. They were developed to imitate either wooden windows or aluminium windows depending on the grain and colour choice. Flush casement windows are completed flat and level on the outside of the property which is where the name ‘flush’ comes from, they are flush in the frame. Inside the property they have more shape to them where openers are. They always have false openers to give a perfectly equal balanced design.

Sliding sash windows replaced the older timber windows which slide up and down, you find these in most town houses. The tilt option is the most common option chosen as it is easier to clean the windows, smaller ventilation into the property and is a benefit over wood sliding windows.
They are made to look like an exact replacement for old timber sliding windows, but without the maintenance required on timber. They come with an option of having bars on the outside of the glass, splitting the glass into smaller squares, again, to mimic the old wooden frames.
