UPVC Doors & Windows

Casement windows

The window most British houses already have, hinged at the side or the top. It suits nearly any house, and it is where most of our window jobs start. You decide how each pane opens, then choose the edge shape, any bars and the colour.

• Side hung, top hung and fixed panes in any mix
• Standard, EnergyPlus or EnergyPlus90 frame
• Sculptured (curved) or chamfered (bevelled) edges
• Georgian bars, arched heads and patterned glass if you want them

Flush sash windows

On an ordinary casement the opening part stands proud of the frame. On a flush sash it sits level with it, the way a joiner would make a timber window. In a woodgrain foil most people walking past would take them for wood, which is why they get used on cottages and where planning has been fussy about uPVC.

• 70mm frame with a 50mm sash
• Welded corners for a crisp look, mechanical joints for a heritage one
• A+ energy rating, U-values down to 1.2 W/m²K
• Sash and frame can be different colours

Resurgence windows

Liniar's best flush sash, and the one to look at for a period house. It has two seals instead of one, both hidden, so there is no rubber or brush strip showing in the gap round the sash. The foil carries on into the parts you only see with the window open, so it still looks like timber then too.

• 80mm frame with a 70mm sash
• Energy ratings up to A++
• Double, triple or acoustic glazing
• Welded, mechanical or Timberweld corner joints

In a conservation area, on a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, check with the council before ordering. Some accept a timber-look uPVC window and some do not.

Tilt & turn windows

One handle, two ways of opening. Turn it one way and the top of the window tips in a few inches for air, and you can leave it like that when you go out. Turn it the other and the whole window swings into the room, so you can clean the outside from indoors.

• Opens inwards, so nothing sticks out over a path
• Usually set to tilt first, so a child cannot swing it wide open
• Can be made larger than a casement
• U-values down to 0.9 W/m²K

Reversible windows

The sash spins right round so the outside of the glass ends up facing you, and it does it without swinging into the room and catching the blinds. Worth thinking about for any window you cannot get a ladder to, like the one above a conservatory roof or high up on a town house.

• Rotates a full 180 degrees
• Flush finish inside and out
• Chamfered profile, in solid or woodgrain colours

French windows

Shown in White. Ask about other colours.

A pair of sashes that open from the middle like a set of French doors, with no post left in the way once both are open. That gives a big clear opening, which is why we suggest them for bedrooms that need a proper escape route.

• Full width opening with no centre post
• Child restrictors available
• U-values down to 0.8 W/m²K

Bi-fold windows

The panes fold back to one side so the whole window opens up. Good over a kitchen worktop that looks onto the garden, or anywhere a bi-fold door would take more wall than you want to lose.

• Up to four panes wide
• Up to 1800mm high
• 28mm double glazed

Bay and bow windows

Shown in White. Ask about other colours.

A bay is a run of windows set at angles, a bow is the same idea on a gentler curve. Either one pushes the room out a little and brings light in from three sides. We build them from casement or flush sash windows, and the joints between them are smooth on the inside, so there is nowhere for dust to sit.

• Casement or flush sash windows
• Double or triple glazed
• Georgian bars, leaded glass or sash horns

Sash horn windows

Pictured in White. Ask about other colours.

A casement window made to look like an old sliding sash, down to the little horns on the frame. It opens on hinges instead of sliding, so there are no cords or weights to go wrong, and it locks with shootbolts like the rest of the range.

• Looks like a box sash, opens like a casement
• Shootbolt locking
• Georgian bars to finish the look
