Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common side hung window queries

Choosing new windows often comes with questions, especially when comparing styles, profiles, and glazing options. This section covers some of the most common questions homeowners ask about side hung casement windows, helping you understand your options and feel confident in your choices.

What is a side hung casement window?

A side hung casement window is hinged on either the left or right-hand side and opens outward, much like a door. This design allows the window to open fully, providing excellent ventilation and making it easy to clean and maintain. Side hung casements are one of the most popular window styles in UK homes due to their simplicity, practicality and versatility.

Is “side hung” the same as “casement”?

In the UK, the term casement window is commonly used to describe side hung windows, although it can also refer to top hung designs. To avoid confusion, “side hung casement” is the most precise term when referring to a window that opens from the side rather than tilting from the top.

Can I get a flush side hung casement in uPVC?

Yes. Flush side hung casement windows are available in uPVC and are designed so the opening sash sits level with the outer frame. This creates a clean, flat appearance that closely resembles traditional timber windows, making flush profiles a popular choice for modern homes and heritage-style properties alike.

Do side hung casements come in triple glazing?

Yes, triple glazing is available on selected side-hung casement window systems. Triple glazed units offer enhanced thermal insulation and improved noise reduction compared to double glazing. Availability can depend on the chosen profile and overall window size, so it’s best to confirm suitability during the specification stage.

How do I choose between flush and rebated profiles?

Choose a flush profile if you prefer a modern, minimalist look with clean lines and a contemporary finish. A rebated profile features a stepped sash that sits proud of the frame, offering a more traditional appearance that suits period and character properties. Both options deliver strong performance - the choice is largely aesthetic.
