Window Styles Explained from Casement to Tilt & Turn
Choosing new windows can feel like a big decision, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether you’re replacing one or renovating the whole house, the key is finding styles that suit the way you live.
Here, we’ll break down the most popular uPVC window styles we offer, including where they work best and why, so you can make confident choices for your home.
Casement Windows: Simple, Reliable, and Versatile
Casement windows are what most people picture when they think “standard window”. They’re hinged at the side and open outwards, offering great airflow and easy everyday use.
Best for:
- Kitchens
- Bedrooms
- Hallways
Why choose casement windows:
They suit almost any room, work well in pairs or combinations, and offer flexibility in size and layout. You can mix casements with top openers or fixed panes to suit your layout, especially if you’re replacing multiple windows across the home.
Top Openers: Small Windows, Big Impact
Top-opening windows are hinged at the top and open outward from the bottom. They’re often used in combination with other panes, or on their own in smaller spaces.
Best for:
- Bathrooms
- Cloakrooms
- Utility rooms
Why choose top openers:
They give you good ventilation while maintaining privacy and security. Because they’re smaller, they also suit tighter spaces where a side-hinge wouldn’t work.
Tilt & Turn Windows: A Smart, Flexible Option
Tilt & turn windows open two ways: tilt inwards at the top for a little ventilation, or swing fully open inwards like a door. They’re a modern, secure style that’s especially useful in upper floors or areas with limited outside access.
Best for:
- Upstairs rooms
- Flats and apartments
- Homes where outside access is limited
Why choose tilt & turn?
They’re easy to clean from the inside, give you versatile ventilation, and offer a sleek look that suits contemporary homes.
Fixed Windows: Let the Light In
Fixed windows don’t open, they’re designed to maximise light and give you clear views. Often used in combination with openers, they’re ideal for bigger expanses of glass.
Best for:
- Lounges
- Stairwells
- Extensions and garden views
Why choose fixed windows:
When you want light without the need to open the window, fixed panes offer a clean, minimal look that lets the view speak for itself.
Bay & Bow Windows: A Feature That Adds Space
Bay windows (angular) and bow windows (curved) extend outwards from the wall, creating a deeper windowsill and bringing in more light from multiple angles.
Best for:
- Living rooms
- Front-facing rooms
- Homes with traditional or period features
Why choose bay and bow:
They add character and usable space to your home, with a wider view and lots of natural light. Our uPVC bay and bow windows are made to measure and available in various configurations.
Flush Windows, Clean Lines, Contemporary Look
Flush windows sit flat against the outside wall rather than overlapping the frame. This gives a sleek, modern finish, without compromising on performance.
Best for:
- Modern builds
- Renovations
- Homes looking for a minimalist exterior
Why choose flush windows:
They combine the performance of uPVC with a stylish, contemporary look that blends beautifully with clean-lined architecture.
