Find Out What Flush And Non-Flush Windows Are

Before embarking on a search for new window replacements, let us tell you all about flush windows and how they differ from non-flush windows.

Flush windows, such as flush casement windows and flush sash windows, have a wonderfully sleek appearance, with a flat, immaculate finish, creating a minimalist look.

Standard windows (non-flush) offer a contrasting aesthetic, as you’re about to learn in this informative piece.

What Is Considered A Flush Window?

Any window that’s ‘flush’ lies completely flat against a wall, displaying utmost elegance. Compared to stormproof or lipped casement windows, flush designs don’t have any protrusion, making for a beautifully neat external profile.

As the sash sits totally flat within the frame, you’re not left with any kind of overlap, which you’ll witness when observing all flush sash and flush fit windows.

The flat-to-frame effect is so alluring and garners great attention from buyers seeking sophistication.

Flush Windows vs Non-Flush Windows

Out of all the variations between the two offerings, the principal difference is how they both sit within the frame.

Non-flush windows, incorporating storm casement windows (also referred to as lipped casement windows) feature opening parts that extend outwards. As a result of the sash sitting proud of the frame, it creates a visible lip overlapping the outer edge, bolstering weather resistance.

Contrastingly, flush windows have a smooth, flat effect, with no overlap due to how they sit exactly level with the frame. Design and hardware options are normally broader if you’re happy with non-flush windows, however, flush windows deliver an incredibly pleasing streamlined arrangement.

Which To Buy For Your Home?

Flush windows particularly complement period residences, traditional dwellings and homes that either have ‘listed’ status or are situated in conservation areas as they have a timber-like effect and will retain classic character.

If you want more flexibility, non-flush windows come in a larger range of frame designs, finishes and hardware so that practical considerations are met.
