Flush windows are becoming more popular for new homes and refurbishments due to their thermal performance, safety, and sleek presentation. They're also a great choice if you want to add a touch of traditional style to your home. Here's everything you need to know about flush windows.
What are flush windows?
A flush window has a sash that sits within the window's frame rather than standing proud upon the frame. The sash is the moveable part of the window, so when these windows are closed, they sit completely flush with the frame. This gives them a much sleeker look than other window designs.
They tend to be made from uPVC or timber, although you can also find aluminium flush windows on the market. They're also available in various styles, including casement windows, tilt-and-turn windows, and fixed windows.
Why choose flush windows?
You might be wondering why you should opt for flush windows over any other type. Here are some of the key reasons that people choose this window style:
1) Thermal efficiency
Flush windows boast excellent thermal performance due to the way that they're designed. The sash sits within the frame, eliminating any gaps or draughts that could let heat escape. This makes them a great choice to reduce your energy bills or make your home eco-friendlier. With double-glazed windows from Harveys starting at £750*, it won't be long before the windows have paid for themselves.

2) Slim and attractive design
Flush windows have a much sleeker design than other window styles, making them an excellent choice for more contemporary home designs. However, they can also be a good option if you want to add a touch of traditional style, as they're often used in period properties.
3) Improved security
The flush design of these windows also makes them more secure than other types of windows. The sash sits within the frame, making it much more difficult to force open from the outside. They also feature multi-point locking systems as standard, which further improves security.
4) Better noise reduction
Noise pollution is a growing problem in many areas, but flush windows can help to reduce the amount of noise that enters your home. The snug fit of the sash within the frame helps block out external noise, making your home more peaceful and relaxed.
5) High durability
Flush windows are a great choice if you're looking for a window that will last for many years. Made from high-quality materials, they can withstand even the harshest weather conditions. They're also treated with several weatherproofing coatings, which helps protect them from the elements. This makes them a good choice during harsh winters and hot summers.
