When starting to refine your search for good quality casement windows there are a number of key considerations to help you make your decision. Genesis are on hand to guide you through the whole process, whether you have just a vague idea or detailed specification for your home or building project.

Below we outline the main features, benefits and considerations of purchasing casement windows.

Casement windows are defined by the way that they open, whereby the full window frame opens outward or inwards, attached to the frame by its hinges. The alternative to this of course, being sash windows, where a section moves up or down along sliding joints.

One major point to note is to understand the difference between a standard casement and a flush casement and this is a primary aesthetic to appreciate in addition to whether you choose uPVC or aluminium.

A standard casement is designed and manufactured with the opener, or sash, sitting on and overlapping the outer frame. In doing this is it provides a very efficient weather seal due to the compression that is applied between the frame and the opener.

This is probably the most commonly seen style of window in most properties throughout the UK.

Flush casement windows differ from standard casement windows in respect of the sash, or opener, being ‘flush’ with the outer frame – hence the name.

This delivers a unique look that can be useful in period properties, renovations and newbuilds.
