If you don’t know, flush windows, flush casements and flush sash windows offer a beautifully sleek, flat finish, which you’ll love if you favour a minimalist aesthetic.
There’s far more to them than that though, and the same can be said for non-flush windows.
What Are Flush Windows?
A flush window gets its name from lying flat against a wall, creating a beautifully clean look. Unlike stormproof and lipped casement windows, flush casements and flush sash windows have frames that don’t stick out beyond the glass, making for a gorgeously neat appearance.
Explained differently, flush casement windows have a sash that sits totally flat within a frame, meaning there’s no overlap, and that similarly applies to flush sash and flush fit windows.
A flat-to-frame arrangement is amazingly appealing, with interest in flush frame windows skyrocketing in recent years.
Flush Windows vs Non-Flush Windows
A fundamental contrast between flush and non-flush is how the two windows sit within their frames.
Non-flush windows, including storm or lipped casement windows, feature openable constituents that project outwards past the frame. They have a visible lip overlapping the external edge due to the sash sitting proud of the frame, amplifying weather resistance.
Flush windows, on the other hand, sit completely level with the frame, prompting a flat effect and no overlap. While non-flush windows are available in numerous designs and with dozens of hardware options, flush windows are primarily about providing an immaculate, streamlined aesthetic.
Which Style Are You Best Choosing?
History shows that flush windows excellently complement period dwellings, traditional homes, listed buildings and properties in conservation areas because of how effectively they can preserve heritage character.
If you covet optimum flexibility, non-flush is probably a better option as you have a wider range of frame designs, finishes and hardware to select from, seeing that all practical requirements are fulfilled.
