Flush casement windows are so popular these days for homeowners but what exactly are flush casement windows?
It simply means that the window sash itself sits flush within the window frame and does not protrude outside the frame.
This typically is the only difference between a flush casement and a stormproof window. The sashes themselves sits inside the frame and there is typically a top and a bottom sash in a typical window and you can have both the top and bottom sashes opening or just the top or just the bottom.
