Timber windows

Flush casement windows with quiet, traditional proportions.

Purpose-made timber casement windows in which the opening sash sits flush with the surrounding frame, creating a restrained appearance suited to traditional and contemporary architecture.

Traditional simplicity depends on disciplined proportions.

Flush casements can appear understated, but the relationship between opening sashes, fixed lights and glazing bars requires careful control.

Farrar can develop the layout around the architecture, required ventilation and practical use of each room. Cills, mullions, glazing patterns, colour and hardware are considered together.

Design principle

Opening sections should remain visually coordinated with fixed panes.

Refine the arrangement without overcomplicating it.

The strongest flush-casement schemes tend to use a limited set of carefully repeated details.

01

Opening layout

Side-hung, top-hung and fixed sections can be combined around ventilation, access and elevation requirements.

02

Glazing bars

Pane divisions may reflect traditional architecture or provide a cleaner contemporary composition.

03

Mullions and cills

Frame junctions, cill projections and reveal relationships help determine the visual weight of the window.

04

Hardware and colour

Ironmongery and factory-applied finishes can reinforce either a traditional or more contemporary direction.

Stone cottage with casement windows

A traditional form developed as a complete system.

Flush casements must combine clean sightlines with suitable weathering, glazing and operation.

Opening and fixed lights designed as one composition.

Frame, mullion and glazing-bar positions are coordinated so functional openings do not disrupt the architectural rhythm.

Questions about flush casement.

Initial guidance for homeowners, builders and project specifiers.

It describes an opening sash that sits flush with the surrounding external frame rather than projecting beyond it.

No. Their clean frame line can suit traditional renovations and contemporary homes, depending on the chosen proportions, glazing and finish.

The layout can be developed to coordinate their visible sightlines, although operating requirements and hardware must still be accommodated.

Glazing patterns can be developed around the building, subject to the final glass, frame and planning specification.
