Flush Windows

People use a lot of different terms to describe windows which can be confusing. We are sometimes asked for flush sash windows which could mean the vertical sliding traditional style windows. By time you make your decision, you will have seen pictures and samples so there is no chance of choosing the wrong windows. Flush windows are typicaly casement windows where the all of the frames are flush – in line with each other, just like traditional wooden windows. These are often referred to as flush sash, flush casement, flush fit, flush uPVC, heritage flush or traditional flush. They all mean the same thing, although if you specify heritage or traditional, we think you will probably be interested in a window with more authentic styling.

We love coloured windows. We’ve been brightening up homes with coloured windows all over Cardiff, Vale and Glamorgan for many years. We understand that it’s a personal choice though. If you are planning to change the colour of your windows, we’ll help you to visualise the new look. There is no reason to stay with the same style, colour or openings that you have now. This is your chance to have what you really want.

The wide range of colours are all tasteful, authentic and designed to work with any brick or render colour. While anthracite has been popular in the last few years,  lighter shades such as agate grey with its woodgrain finish are being asked for regularly nowadays.It would be hard to choose a favourite. Black, white and cream have stood the test of time for many years and will no doubt continue to do so.

Aluminium flush windows are not quite as traditional looking as uPVC and could not be mistaken for wood. However, Origin manufacture a very stylish window range with flush frames inside and out. Explore the Origin OW-80 aluminium window.

You can use flush casement windows in a bay window in just the same way that you would any other casement window. If your house is modern, you can be open to any style of window. We’ll help you to consider the options. While flush windows are popular for traditional homes because of the timber style appearance, they work equally well in newer homes.

If you are replacing a patio door or rear entrance door with your windows, you’ll be pleased to know that flush sash styling is available to match. All Eurocells products are colour matched throughout the ranges so you can mix different styles. Some of our customers have chosen the flush styling for back doors even when they’ve chosen a moulded style for the windows.

Modus Flush Windows from Eurocell carry an industry-leading 12-year guarantee. The recycled material is used inside the frame where it is not seen while ‘virgin’ grade uPVC is used on the outside where it matters. This is one of the reasons that Eurocell are able to give a longer guarantee.

The most popular style of windows is casement windows. In Cardiff, you will see a lot of vertical sliding sash windows, especially in the older buildings. As the name suggests, they slide up and down. Casement windows are hinged, usually at the sides but also at the top. You see top hung windows most often on the small opening windows at the top. These are called fanlights. When you choose your new flush casement windows, you can choose completely new arrangements for your windows. Take some time to consider whether your existing windows work for you. Do you have enough opening windows? If you have fanlights, do you use them or are they too high for regular use? Although your opening is likely to stay the same, the arrangement within that space is entirely up to you.

From the outside, flush tilt and turn windows will give you the same traditional look as casement windows. The difference is that tilt and turn windows open on an axis to tilt for ventilation. By using the handle, you can lock the tilt and fully open the window inwards. This is especially helpful for cleaning windows that are otherwise hard to get to.

Flush casement windows cost a little more than the uPVC windows that you normally see. More goes into the manufacture of them. When compared to the cost of timber windows, they are extremely cost-effective. The cost of your windows will depend on size, style and the number of openings.

Flush sash windows are created with high-quality uPVC with a style that creates the authentic look of timber whilst adding a whole host of features and benefits that wood simply cannot compete with. Timber frames are expensive and have the additional need for continual upkeep such as re-staining, re-painting and varnishing. They often look tired after weathering the first summer and winter. When you buy timber windows, you need to factor in an additional cost per year. Flush sash windows will not cost money to maintain making them a much more financially attractive option compared to timber alternatives.

The flush sash window is virtually maintenance-free, requiring no more than the occasional wipe with a damp cloth. Unlike timber, our uPVC flush sash windows will not rot, warp or discolour so they make a cost-effective and durable solution for any property in any location.

Of course, as with all modern windows, you can expect super thermal efficiency saving you money on your energy bills. With a multi-chambered profile, they retain heat and keep the cold out making for a warm and comfortable environment. It’s much healthier to be able to reduce how often you have your heating on too.

The Logik range of windows now also features a squared flush sash. This is a different range from the Modus flush and has some differences.The profile is mitred and does not have a squared off option as with the Modus range.

The Logik flush window range carries a ten-year guarantee.

At Heath Windows and Doors, we’ll explore all of the options with you so that you make the right choice for your home.
