Styles of uPVC Casement

Chamfered frames have a simple bevelled edge and suit most modern houses, while sculptured frames have a softer, rounded edge that sits better on older homes. For a timber look without the upkeep, flush-sash uPVC is a popular upgrade.

Anthracite grey and black are now as popular as white on many Kent streets. Colour on both faces costs more, so decide early which you want.

Signs Your Casements Need Replacing

  • Friction hinges that no longer hold the window open
  • Locks that only engage when you push the opener hard
  • White frames that have yellowed or turned chalky
  • Water on the window board after heavy rain
  • Rusty hinges and keeps, especially close to the coast

Not every sticking casement needs a new frame; hardware can often be renewed.

Agree which openings are fixed and which open before manufacture. The fitter should also check the cill projection, drainage route and condition of the reveals so the new frames can be sealed and finished properly.
