Timber Flush and Stormproof Casement Windows – What’s The Difference?

If you’re considering fitting timber framed windows into your property there are a number of choices available. As well as styles and designs of timber windows, there are key decisions to make about the type of timber windows that would be the most suitable. Timber flush windows and stormproof casement windows are two of the most popular types of window styles for property owners in South Devon. What is unique about these types of timber windows and what particular advantages do they each have for property owners in the South West?

What are timber flush windows?

Many period and more recently built properties across South Devon feature timber flush windows. They’re a popular choice with homeowners due to their sleek seamless appearance. Whether you have a Plymouth townhouse or a South Hams cottage, timber flush windows can enhance the appearance of your property. 

As the name suggests, the key characteristic of timber flush windows is their flush fitting. This means the sash sits level with the surrounding frame when the window is closed. Timber flush windows remove overlapping edges, ensuring a sleek, neat appearance. Timber flush windows have a simple, clean look that lends itself to different architectural styles. At Joinery Solutions SW, we install timber flush windows in different properties across South Devon and the wider South West region.
