Casement Windows in Leicester

A casement window is the most common type of uPVC windows. The ‘casement’ window simply means a window that can be opened fully, available in multiple opening options.

Changing from one window design to another is possible but involves more labour and potentially additional work (plastering and painting etc.), and therefore can involve higher costs. Rather than replacing your window for a like-for-like frame, changing window types means that the frames will be a different thickness.

There are some instances, such as a listed building, where it’s not possible to change the window type but, in most cases it’s purely down to your choice. Many homeowners making this change for the first time appreciate the enhanced thermal performance that modern casement windows offer, helping to reduce energy bills.

Yes, while most casement windows open outwards, inward-opening options are available. These can be particularly useful for ease of cleaning, especially on upper floors, and contribute to keeping your home safe.

All casement windows are similar and have the same components, but there are three main types:

• Single frame casement windows which are the most common

• Double or French casement windows

• Push out casement windows which come in both single or double styles, and are operated by a handle rather than a crank.

For enhanced thermal performance, many of these can also be specified with triple glazing, offering an even greater barrier against heat loss and keeping warm air inside.

We also offer flush casement windows, also known as flush sash windows. When closed, the face of the window sits flush with the frame to create a clean, flat surface and seamless look.

uPVC casement windows are a popular and cost-effective choice, offering excellent thermal efficiency and low maintenance. Aluminium casement windows provide a sleek, contemporary aesthetic with exceptional strength and durability, often suitable for larger window openings, similar to the expansive feel of bifold doors.

Both materials can incorporate advanced thermal break technology to minimise heat transfer. We also offer a range of colours and dual colour options to perfectly match your aesthetic. Our team can help you decide which material best suits your Leicestershire property and budget, ensuring you get peace of mind.

Casement windows are generally considered to be a very secure window style due to their tight seal when closed and the multi-point locking systems they often feature. The way the window sash hooks into the frame makes them difficult to force open. In the unlikely event of an issue, our products come with a comprehensive insurance backed guarantee for added peace of mind.
