Window Styles
Don’t be put off by the jargon – it’s really very simple to describe the style of a window. It only means how the window opens or where it is hinged. The most popular styles are casement, sash and tilt & turn.
Casement
They have outward-opening panes (known as lights or vents), hinged from the top or side, possibly combined with fixed panes (known as fixed lights). Flush casements
mean that when the window is closed, it sits flush within the frame, creating a flat surface on the outside.
Sash
Sash windows have two panes, one vertically above the other – and both panes can slide to allow ventilation from the top or bottom.
Tilt & Turn
They open inwards – they are hinged at the base and tilt into the room for ventilation. After a turn of the handle they become side- hinged, allowing the window to swing into the room for cleaning.
Security
Fitted with the best possible hardware, sturdy hinges, locking handles and high security locks, Optima meets the high standards of hardware that is required by the ’ Secured by Design scheme. You don’t have to comprise the safety of your home for style but rather choose a product that impeccably combines both practicality and style.
Optima is Kitemarked by the British Standard Agency and meets the safety standards for more secured homes and products.
Casement Windows
Opening outwards, these windows are hinged at the top or the side and can sit either flush within the frame creating a flat surface from the outside creating establishing a more modern look or can be a traditional fit to create a more classical aesthetic.
The perfect all-rounder, with adaptability of layouts and designs, a casement window allows you to have control and to choose a design, whether jazzy or plain, that suits you and your home, making you happy for years to come.
