PVCu Casement Windows
Perhaps the most familiar style of window, casements have opening panes that sit on the outside surface of the frame and open outwards.
The opening panes can be hinged at the top or at the side, and the overall layout of the window can vary from very simple to quite elaborate.
Casements provide their weather protection by forming a seal all around the edge of the opening panes. With insulating non-shrink gaskets and the increased frame overlap, these seals are long lasting and very effective. Rainwater and drafts just don’t get through.
With a casement, there really is a vast choice. You don’t have to replicate your existing window layout (although if you want to, that’s fine). If you’ve always wanted a larger opening pane – go for it. If you’ve never been able to reach the handle on a kitchen or bathroom window, we’ll sort a layout that helps.
We can add details to compliment your architecture, glaze windows to suit your insulations needs, even offer you a different colour finish for indoors and out. It’s about creating a window that works perfectly and which looks fantastic in your home.
PVCu Tilt and Turn windows
In some homes, outward opening windows aren’t the best option. Where there isn’t much outdoor space, or for high elevation, it can be more convenient to choose a style that tilts into the room to open.
But even in a single-storey property with bags of outside space, a Tilt and Turn is often just the ticket – the layouts tend to be simple with a contemporary, streamlined appearance.
Tilt and Turn windows operate using a smart gearing system, driven by the handle. The opening pane is hinged along its base, and with a simple turn of the handle, the windows locking mechanism frees, and the pane can tilt. The movement is limited for your safety – large frames, when glazed can be very heavy – but there’s plenty of ventilation and no ned to worry about what is happening outside. From the tilted position, close the window and then turn the handle again. The pane now becomes side-hinged and can swing right into your room. You can clean the external glass from the comfort and safety of indoors.
PVCu Flush Casement Windows
When you live in an older or unusual property, standard window designs often end up compromising the appearance of your home.
They don’t reflect the original character or style of the building, and although they may function perfectly will, their appearance isn’t quite right.
Flush casements recreates the style of traditional craftsman-built timber windows. The opening panes don’t stand proud of the frame but sit flush, nestled within in.
This is how casements were built for centuries, but unlike the originals, this system is bang up-to date with its performance. It insulates. It has outstanding seals to protect your home from rain and wind, and its secured with all the best, modern, multipoint locking.
But all the high-tech features aren’t allowed to spoil the authentic period styling of these flush casements. The proportions are perfect, the details are accurate, the handles and stays have all the charm of the originals. Even looking closely, most people have no idea they’re looking at low-maintenance, durable, secure and very energy-efficient windows.
