Casement windows in South Kensington

Homes in South Kensington are mostly stucco terraces, red-brick mansion blocks and converted period flats. Rear extensions and back additions on Victorian terraces often suit casements, and choosing a flush or storm style lets you balance a traditional look against budget.

In upper-floor flats, we recommend restrictors and easy-clean hinges so outward-opening casements can be cleaned safely from inside without leaning out of the window. Where a conservation area expects slim traditional joinery, a flush casement with putty-style beads looks closer to the original than a standard storm casement.

Where a building is listed, or the freeholder insists on keeping the original sashes, secondary glazing fitted inside the existing frames is usually the sensible answer, and it also helps with noise from Cromwell Road. We talk to managing agents about access, consent and parking bay suspensions before we fix a fitting date.

Casement windows are hinged at the side or top and open outwards, making them the most common window style in British homes. We make them to measure in uPVC and aluminium, and they suit almost any property, from terraces and semis to flats and modern houses.

• Side or top hung to suit each opening
• Opens wide for ventilation and cleaning
• Escape hinges available for upper floors
