The suburban neighbours of Cambridge feature a diverse array of characterful family homes. However, properties built between the 1970s and 1990s are facing a common problem. Their original glazing has reached the end of its lifespan. Standard lipped casements, this is where the opening window sash overlaps the outer frame can begin to look tired, dated and become notoriously draughty. Property owners are choosing sophisticated architectural upgrades to breathe new life into these houses.
What is a Flush Casement Window?
The defining characteristic of the flush casement is its balanced profile. Unlike a traditional window where the opening section stands proud of the building, a flush sash sits perfectly level with the outer frame when closed.
This creates a smooth,minimalist exterior surface with completely clean lines. The shape closely mirrors the elegant proportions of a traditional timber joinery, making it an exceptional option for homeowners who want to give their suburban property a high end, architectural finish while still looking not out of place.
Moving from Anthracite – Colour trends
While industrial Anthracity Grey dominated home renovations over the past decade, window colour trends have definitely seen a shift toward softer, organic, earth toned palettes. Homeowners are now looking for colours that soften and complement the appearance of classic red buff cambridge brickwork rather than contrasting harshly against it.
Low maintenance, High efficiency
Achieving the timeless, tactile look of painted timber frames no longer requires signing up for an endless cycle of sanding, treating, and repainting. Modern casement windows are engineered from advanced multi-chambered uPVC profiles that are entirely immune to rotting, warping and swelling. Upgrading allows homeowners to effortlessly eliminate draughts and internal condensation. With advanced internal thermal breaks and premium low-emissivity double or triple glazing, these systems will deliver exceptional thermal performance. They retain your indoor heating during freezing winter months and comfortably keep your living space quiet, secure and energy efficient
