What is the difference between regular casement windows and flush casement windows?
In this blog we will explain the difference between regular casement or sash windows and flush casement or sash windows and help you decide what style is best for your property.
A flush casement window fits true to its frame “flush” to give a beautiful flush appearance. The sash closes level into the outer frame, so it sits in line, rather than protruding from the exterior brickwork of your home like traditional windows. The result is a clean, modern, and stylish appearance.
At Balhousie, we offer modern flush casement windows in addition to our regular casement windows which are available in 2 designs - traditional chamfered or decorative sculptured profile.

Our sleek flush windows with slim sightlines offer the next level to homeowners with virtually no sightlines. Slim sightlines are usually found on timber windows making the flush style of window an ideal alternative or replacement to tired looking timber windows.
As well as fully welded options our flush windows can be mechanically jointed, ensuring they are virtually indistinguishable from timber windows, especially when one of our woodgrain finishes are chosen.
What are the benefits of flush windows?
Energy-efficient
With Balhousie flush double glazed windows energy efficiency and thermal retention are exceptionally high, achieving an A+ window energy rating and a u-Value as low as 1.2 W/m2K. The multi-chamber profile prevents heat from escaping and Low-E glass reflects heat back into your home, while Argon gas between the window panes, blocks out cold air to eliminate draughts. This helps to keep your home warm, reducing the money you spend heating your home.
Low Maintenance PVC
Our uPVC flush windows are built to last and are extremely easy to maintain with minimal upkeep needed to keep them at optimum condition. uPVC is a durable material that will never rot, warp, peel or flake and it is super easy to keep clean with a simple wipe down using a soft cloth and soapy water to keep them looking their best.
An extensive range of finishes
Flush sash windows are highly versatile and can be made bespoke to any home so that they are the perfect fit. The flush casement window is available in a range of foiled finishes including Irish Oak which really complements the style of window design perfectly, looking like a traditional flush sash timber window. With an extensive range of woodgrain options and sophisticated colours available, you can make your windows look as traditional or as contemporary as you like.

Understanding Flush Sash Windows
While regular casement and sash windows have long been a popular choice for homeowners, flush casement or sash windows offer a modern and stylish alternative.
The key difference between the two lies in the window sash's positioning. In regular windows, the sash protrudes from the exterior brickwork of your home.
In contrast, flush casement or sash windows have a sash that closes level with the outer frame, creating a flush appearance and a clean, sleek finish.
Flush casement windows are rapidly gaining popularity due to this attractive, contemporary aesthetic. Their flush design offers a minimalist appearance, which complements both modern and traditional homes. The seamless integration with the outer frame adds a touch of sophistication, making flush casement windows a desirable choice for property owners seeking to enhance their home's curb appeal.
At Balhousie Glazing, we offer two distinct flush casement window designs: traditional chamfered and decorative sculptured profile.
Our flush windows feature slim sightlines, providing an unobtrusive view and allowing more natural light to enter your home. The virtually invisible sightlines commonly found in timber windows are now achievable with our modern flush casement windows, offering the best of both worlds in terms of aesthetics and performance.
Flush sash windows are an excellent alternative or replacement for tired-looking timber windows.
As well as fully welded options, our flush windows can be mechanically jointed, ensuring they are virtually indistinguishable from timber windows. Furthermore, Balhousie Glazing offers an extensive range of woodgrain finishes, allowing you to achieve a traditional or contemporary appearance that suits your home's style perfectly without the drawbacks of using real timber.
Whether you opt for classic Irish Oak or choose from our other sophisticated colours and woodgrain options, your flush sash windows will enhance your property's visual appeal and performance.
