Flush Casement Windows
A timber-look face with modern performance.
What are flush casement windows?
In a flush casement window the opening sash closes level with the outer frame, rather than sitting proud of it as on a standard casement. The result looks much closer to a traditional timber window.
They suit cottages, farmhouses and Yorkshire stone homes. We supply flush casements from the Residence Collection.

Questions
What is a flush casement window?
A casement window where the sash sits flush with the frame when closed, rather than overlapping it. It gives a flatter, more traditional face similar to timber joinery.
How is it different from a standard casement?
On a standard casement the sash sits on the face of the frame, creating a stepped profile. Flush casements look flatter and closer to traditional timber.
Will flush casements be accepted in a conservation area?
It depends on the property and the local authority. We check before specifying.
