Installing new windows can be one of the most effective home improvements that you can make, but the choice can sometimes seem endless. There is a lot of fuss about flush right now, and we think it’s easy to see why! Flush casement uPVC windows are popping up in many modern South Wales homes, while uPVC flush sash windows seem to be trending for more traditional properties. That’s why we thought it was time to take a look at why so many South Wales windows are now feeling flush.
What are flush windows?
A flush window design is one with no protruding areas. This means that window sashes sit flush to the window frame, in keeping with the sort of styles that we were seeing as long as 200 years ago. The advancements in double glazing meant that this design was used less and less, as it tended to require timber materials that were not able to offer the same level of performance as uPVC. All of that has changed, and flush casement windows are making a big comeback, as energy efficient uPVC can now be adapted to create this stunning style.
Will a flush casement window suit a modern property?
One of the main reasons why flush casement uPVC windows are coming back into fashion is because of the sleek, clean, simple lines that they can offer. They look incredibly elegant and can therefore fit in with a range of different modern designs, meaning they are not just the ideal choice for traditional period homes. With all the flexibility that uPVC can offer, plus the huge range of colours that are now available, flush casement windows can completely transform the look and feel of a property, adding serious style points.
Making a flush window look like an original feature
As flush windows have such a long history, it is no wonder that they are still a firm favourite in many traditional properties. Unlike the traditional timber frames, flush PVC windows ensure your home is both as robust and energy efficient as possible. Falcon can perfectly replicate the style of timber windows, as the sashes close into the frame and finish flush with the face of the window. You can even opt for a woodgrain finish to make it almost impossible to tell whether your flush window is an original feature or not, and this can be particularly beneficial if you live in a conservation area, or need planning permission to replace windows in a period property.
The benefits of flush windows for your South Wales home
We know flush windows look great, but easy upkeep is an added bonus! PVCu frames means there’s no need for repainting or sanding, ensuring they continue to look fantastic for many years to come. They are also incredibly effective at trapping heat within your home to help reduce your household energy usage, as well as emissions.
