Casement Windows

This style of window can be configured in many different ways with a large range of opening sashes. Fitted as standard is Thermoshield's specially designed fire hinge which allows for an easy escape. The traditional timber casement became the most common window type during the eighteenth century. It developed from the stone mullioned window. The earlier designs had the opening part of the window – the casement – made of iron with lead lattice work and subdivided by glazing bars which joined together the small panes of glass. By the middle 1800’s, the frames and opening casements were made completely out of timber. The most common pattern were windows of 6 panes, but as glass technology improved, the number of panes per casement was reduced to two with one horizontal glazing bar.
