What are flush windows?
Flush windows are designed so the opening sash sits level with the outer frame, creating a smooth, flat exterior finish. This distinctive design closely mimics traditional timber windows, making flush styles particularly popular for period and character properties. By using modern UPVC or aluminium materials, flush windows deliver the classic appearance of timber while offering contemporary benefits such as high energy efficiency, superior security and low-maintenance performance.

Common questions about flush windows
Flush windows are increasingly popular with homeowners who want a refined, architectural look without the drawbacks of traditional timber. Because they differ from standard window styles, itโs natural to have questions. Below, we answer the most common queries, with insight into Envisage Flush, Residence and Eclipse window ranges.
1. What makes flush windows different from standard casement windows?
Flush windows are designed so the opening sash sits level with the outer frame, rather than overlapping it. This creates a flat, streamlined exterior finish that closely resembles traditional timber joinery. Envisage Flush and Residence windows focus on heritage aesthetics, while Eclipse aluminium flush windows deliver a sharper, more contemporary interpretation of the same principle.
2. Are flush windows suitable for period and conservation-style homes?
Yes, flush windows are particularly well suited to traditional properties. Residence flush windows are often chosen for period homes due to their authentic proportions and detailing, while Envisage Flush provides a cleaner take on heritage styling. Many homeowners choose flush designs to enhance character without the maintenance demands of timber.
3. How do Envisage Flush and Residence flush windows differ?
Envisage Flush offers a contemporary flush appearance with simplified detailing, making it ideal for modern or transitional homes. Residence flush windows place greater emphasis on traditional design cues, including deeper frames and heritage-inspired finishes, making them better suited to classic and character properties.
4. Are Eclipse aluminium flush windows different from UPVC flush designs?
Yes. Eclipse aluminium flush windows use slimmer, stronger aluminium frames to achieve a sharp, modern aesthetic. Theyโre ideal for larger glazed areas or contemporary homes where clean lines and maximum glass are a priority, while still retaining a flush external finish.
5. Do flush windows perform as well thermally as standard windows?
Modern flush windows are highly energy efficient. Envisage Flush and Residence ranges use multi-chambered UPVC frames and high-performance glazing, while Eclipse aluminium windows use advanced thermal break technology to prevent heat transfer and maintain indoor comfort.
6. Are flush windows secure?
Absolutely. All flush window ranges are designed with security in mind. Multi-point locking, internal beading and strong frame construction help protect your home. Eclipse aluminium windows also benefit from aluminiumโs inherent strength, offering excellent resistance to forced entry.
7. Can flush windows be customised across different ranges?
Yes. Envisage Flush, Residence and Eclipse windows from 5 Star offer extensive customisation options. These include a wide choice of colours, hardware finishes, glazing styles and decorative features, allowing homeowners to tailor the look to suit their property and personal taste.
8. Are flush windows more expensive than standard window styles?
Flush windows can cost more than standard casement windows due to their refined construction and detailing. However, many homeowners feel the improved appearance, enhanced kerb appeal and long-term performance of Envisage Flush, Residence or Eclipse windows make them a worthwhile investment.
