Casement windows are the most popular window choice amongst homeowners here in the UK. Modern uPVC has many benefits, and with customisable frames growing in popularity, a casement window installation can transform homes of all ages and aesthetics. If you are considering offering casement windows to your customers, it is important that you know the difference between flush and French casement windows. Both of these styles have many similar benefits, but they have one key difference in their design. At Essex Trade Frames, we supply standard, flush and French casement windows and our experts are here to share the benefits and differences between these popular frames.
Popular Flush Casement Windows
For homeowners seeking a sleek and modern twist on the traditional casement window, flush profiles are the perfect solution. Unlike standard casement windows, the flush models are not lipped. Simply put, the frame does not protrude past the glass, the glazing pane and the uPVC sit ‘flush’ together. Flush casement windows have a more contemporary appearance, but the frames can be customised for homeowners looking for a more classic aesthetic.
Here at Essex Trade Frames, we supply flush casement windows from Liniar and Eurocell. These windows are made from high grade uPVC, feature energy efficient double glazing and are available with various customisable design features. These flush casement windows are a great alternative to traditional wooden frames. The modern uPVC has been designed to successfully replicate the look of timber and with a wide range of colours to choose from, you can offer your customers windows that match their personal style preferences.
Benefits of Flush Casement Windows
- Multi-chambered frames for increased levels of energy efficiency
- Low maintenance uPVC frames
- Glass fits ‘flush’ inside the frame
- Variety of finishes to achieve an authentic or more modern aesthetic
- Locking system includes 10 year guarantee as standard
- Quick and easy installation process
French Casement Windows for Essex Homes
French casement windows provide homeowners with unrestricted views of their surroundings. These windows do not have a post in the middle of the frame, each pane of glass is side hung on hinges and opens inwards or outwards, revealing undisturbed panoramic views. Homeowners looking to invite maximum levels of natural light into their home will love these expansive and energy efficient French casement windows.
The French casement windows we supply are also from market leaders Liniar and Eurocell. The uPVC frames feature a multi-chambered design for increased thermal performance and structural integrity. Despite the name, these French windows are manufactured right here in the UK and your customers can enjoy double glazing that has been built to the highest standard.
French casement windows have a traditional design, but your customers can customise the frames to suit their preferences. For example, we offer a wide selection of frame colour choices and woodgrain finishes. These windows are also available with five different handle colours; your customers will appreciate the opportunity to design the perfect French windows for their property.
Benefits of French Casement Windows
- Slim sightlines
- Energy efficient frames and glazing
- Sashes can open a full 90 degrees
- Available with various authentic design features
- Customisable frames and hardware
- Wide opening works as effective fire exit
- Fitted with high security locking system
Difference Between Flush & French Casement Windows
Flush and French casement windows have many benefits and can compliment homes of all ages and appearances. While both of these window designs can offer high levels of security and energy efficiency, their design varies.
French casement windows open outwards, with no post in the centre of the frame. Picture French doors and how they swing open and allow natural light to flood into a property – the same is true for French casement windows!
Unlike flush casement windows, French windows can open a full 90 degrees on their hinges, creating more space and providing maximum levels of ventilation. Where flush casement windows have a more sleek design, French frames are more traditional and protrude when closed.
Both French and flush casement windows can add character to a property and modern designs can offer exceptional security and thermal performance. French casement windows have the upper hand when it comes to views and ventilation, but flush windows are a better choice for homeowners looking for a sleek and space-saving finish.
