Flush windows, including flush casement windows and flush sash windows, come with flat external finishes due to them sitting perfectly with their frames, exuding a minimalist look.
Interested to know more? Read our breakdown of flush and standard window styles to decide which should succeed your old windows.
What Are Flush Windows?
A flush window design lies flat against a wall, which has an elegance of its own. It’s the opposite of stormproof or lipped casement windows, as flush casements and flush sash windows don’t protrude outwards, ensuring a beautifully clean and streamlined effect.
Put another way, a flush window is one with a sash that sits completely within a frame so that there’s not even the slightest overlap, as applicable to all flush fit offerings.
The flat-to-frame look is undeniably alluring and why millions of homeowners opt for flush frame windows.
Flush Windows vs Non-Flush Windows
How both window styles sit within the frame is the main thing differentiating the two.
When observing non-flush windows from outside, you’ll see that their opening parts project outwardly from a frame. As the sash sits proud of the frame, it leaves a visible lip overlapping the outer edge, designed to combat the weather.
There’s no overlap at all with a flush window because of it sitting exactly level with the frame, making it flat. Non-flush windows are available in a wider selection of designs and provide more hardware options, but flush windows have that sleek aesthetic that’s so enticing.
Which To Choose For Your Home?
Flush windows neatly integrate into period residences, traditional homes, listed buildings and dwellings within conservation areas. If you want windows that closely mirror timber frames to preserve heritage character, they’re an excellent choice.
Go with non-flush if flexibility is paramount to fulfil functional requirements, as they’ll open the door to a broader choice of designs, finishes and hardware.
Investment into either flush or non-flush will work out well in all honesty as the two window styles promise lasting elegance, security and performance. View examples of both in our Mirfield showroom.
