The Benefits of Flush Casement Wood Effect Windows
To Roundup
- Flush casement windows have been one of the fastest growing glazing styles of the past decade.
- Wood effect finishes deliver the authentic look of timber without the need for regular painting or maintenance.
- uPVC is the UK’s most popular window material, and is renowned for energy efficiency, leading to reduced energy bills and higher comfort.
- Flush casement wood effect windows are ideal for conservation areas, as they rarely require planning permission.
- Low maintenance and durable, these windows provide long-lasting beauty and peace of mind with multi-point locking and a 10-year guarantee.
What Are Flush Casement Windows?
Flush casement windows are designed so the window sash sits perfectly level with the outer frame. Unlike traditional casement windows, where the sash protrudes beyond the frame, flush casements create a smooth, flat surface, an aesthetic that’s seen them shoot to the top of the window charts.
This flush design is appropriate for both contemporary and period properties, with woodgrain finishes replicating the craved finish and feel of timber.
Benefits of Flush Casement Windows
- Clean lines: The flush profile creates an elegant, uncluttered appearance.
- Increased weather tightness: Flush fitting sashes provide a tighter seal, ensuring impressive insulation.
- Versatility: They suit various window styles including bay windows and standard casements.
- Compatibility with heritage homes: Their classic look makes them ideal for period properties and conservation areas.
Benefits of the Material: uPVC Frames
Our flush casement windows are built using high-quality uPVC profiles designed for energy efficiency and durability.
Energy Efficiency
- Multi-chambered uPVC frames trap heat inside your home.
- Combined with energy efficient double glazing as standard from Fine View.
- This can help lower your heating bills and carbon footprint.
Durability and Low Maintenance
- uPVC is weather-resistant, and engineered to last over 30 years without crumbling or decaying.
- Unlike timber windows, they require minimal upkeep — this means you don’t need to worry about spending those precious weekends sanding or repainting your window frames.
- Easy to clean with just a wipe down to maintain their appearance.
