Why choose flush casement windows?
Everest flush windows have a smooth elegant design giving a minimalist and uncluttered appearance that suits both traditional and contemporary homes:
Authentic timber aesthetic with weatherproof performance: Historically, British casements windows were always a flush design with the sash level with the frame. The lipped sash was only introduced in the middle of the twentieth century, to create a more weatherproof window for frames that lacked tight weather seals. Once manufacturing improved, flush casement are now made with tight tolerances and ultra-tight weather seals for excellent weatherproofing whilst retaining the traditional visual appeal.
Clean lines on a contemporary home: The main reason most customers choose flush casement is for the clean visual appeal of a sleek frame. The uninterrupted surface offers minimal styling and the architectural look of aluminium in a uPVC frame. Perfect for anyone that wants a less intrusive frame and to avoid the distinct and thicker feel of uPVC casement.
Exceptional energy efficiency: Everest flush casement windows with triple glazing are our most energy efficient window frame that offers an impressive ultra low 1.0W/m2k U-value. Fitted with double glazing the flush window offers low 1.4 W/m2K rating. The superior energy efficiency ensures your home keeps warmer and your energy bills are lower.
Timber character without the upkeep: Wooden window frames are high maintenance and need repainting at least every five to eight years, which is four to six repaints over a 30 year lifetime. uPVC is easy to clean and maintain with a wipe of warm soapy water. Flush casement with a woodgrain foil finishes looks almost as good as timber with the same character, but it doesn't rot, peel or flake.
Of course, the sleek visual doesn't appeal to everyone and some properties suit other styles of window better (read below). For a property that is weather exposed or near to the coast, we would only recommend storm casement windows to deal with anything the British weather can throw at it.
