What Are Flush And Non-Flush Casement Windows?
We have multiple window collections, including suites of flush casement windows and casement windows, two very different window products.
Discover our diverse range of window collections, featuring suites of flush and casement windows, each offering unique benefits.
The ‘flush’ casement window is designed to sit perfectly flush on the outside, with its window sashes aligned with the window frame.
Ever wondered how long flush and non-flush casement windows have been in existence?
Flush casement windows have a rich history, dating back to the 19th century, and are over 200 years old. In those days, timber was the primary material for window construction, resulting in sturdy wooden windows that adorned many historical homes from different eras.
Meanwhile, the non-flush casement window, which happens to be the best-selling window in the UK, was crafted by skilled blacksmiths in the 18th century using iron, a century before the flush casement came into existence.

Why are flush windows so popular again?
Because of companies like 5 Star!
The popularity of flush windows has been on the rise due to companies like 5 Star! We developed our Envisage collection of flush windows after identifying a growing demand among customers for windows that stand out from the norm.
Envisage windows have the proportions and lines of a traditional timber flush casement window that it is inspired by but feature a UPVC or aluminium profile to meet modern thermal and security demands.
Which of them will complement my property?
Live in a conservation area or listed building? The planning department at your local authority is likely to accept flush UPVC windows as a window replacement as they mimic the styling of an original flush window design and will preserve its appearance.
Flush sash windows also have pristine symmetry to match the aesthetic of contemporary dwellings. For these types of applications, they will often be finished in Black or Anthracite Grey.
The character of a standard casement window makes it compatible with any home, old or new, explaining its unrivalled appeal.
Ask for a full product demonstration in your local 5 Star showroom if it will help you decide whether flush casements or standard casements are the right option for your home.
