Hinged Casement
The single-pane hinged secondary glazing can be incorporated into windows made of sash in any style including traditional and casement sash. The hinged units we offer can be supplied with a keylock handle, and are manufactured with multi-point locking.

Hinged windows can be top-hung or side-hung and can be double-glazed. Our double-glazed windows provide enhanced audio-acoustic performance. They are available in 43dB,47dB or 51dB.
Casement windows can open outwards and catch breezes from different angles. This is in contrast to a horizontal sash window, which has movable sashes within the frame, which slide horizontally. They can be opened both from the top and bottom to allow controlled ventilation. They are therefore able to increase airflow and offer a fantastic alternative to traditional sash windows.
They are popular in modern homes due to their narrow "sightlines" which allow for unobstructed view, but they can also be put into listed properties because they do not require transoms or mullions. They are also a good choice for hard-to-reach areas as they can be opened by the turn of the handle.
