In life, it can be difficult to find the best of both worlds. You might face a choice between a well-connected property in the city or a peaceful cottage in the countryside, a high salary or a career you truly enjoy, or even a relaxing beach holiday versus a hiking trip in the Alps. One way or another, people often find themselves making compromises. However, this needn’t be the case with your home’s windows. In the past decade, flush sash windows have emerged as the perfect way to achieve lower energy bills through excellent thermal efficiency, as well as achieving the period look that Buckinghamshire homeowners often crave.
These increasingly popular windows sit flush with the outer frame, which creates clean sightlines that complement both period properties and modern bills.
With advanced double or triple glazing, they can dramatically reduce heat loss whilst maintaining the classic appearance that makes Buckinghamshire properties so distinctive – which we’ll explore in this blog.
What is a flush sash window?
A flush sash window is a modern take on traditional window design where the opening sash sits perfectly level with the outer frame when closed. Unlike standard casement windows that protrude outwards, almost like having a lip, the flush design creates a smooth, uninterrupted surface that delivers a sleek appearance whilst maintaining classic proportions.
This window style has experienced a remarkable surge in popularity over the past decade, particularly among UK homeowners seeking the perfect balance between heritage aesthetics and contemporary performance. Flush sash, sometimes referred to as flush casement windows, create balanced sightlines that naturally complement Aylesbury’s diverse architectural landscape, from Georgian townhouses to modern developments.
Flush sash windows are known for their level appearance.
Benefits of flush sash windows
Energy efficiency
Modern flush sash windows excel at thermal efficiency through advanced chambered profiles and high-performance glazing systems. At Crown, we engineer both our uPVC and aluminium flush windows with multiple sealed chambers that trap air, creating effective insulation barriers that significantly reduce heat loss.
Our double glazing options feature tight gaskets and high-spec glass units that maintain comfortable indoor temperatures year-round. For homeowners seeking maximum energy efficiency, triple glazing pushes U-values even lower, virtually eliminating drafts whilst further reducing heating bills.
Why energy efficiency matters
Energy-efficient windows offer numerous advantages for Aylesbury homeowners:
· Reduced heating bills – Better insulation means lower energy consumption throughout the year
· Environmental sustainability – Lower energy usage reduces your home’s carbon footprint
· Added comfort – Consistent indoor temperatures eliminate cold spots and drafts
· Increased property value – Energy-efficient features are highly sought after by potential buyers
· Noise reduction – High-performance glazing also provides excellent acoustic insulation
Period aesthetics
Flush sash windows deliver authentic period charm that’s particularly valuable in Aylesbury’s conservation areas. The flush design replicates traditional timber windows’ clean lines whilst offering modern materials’ durability and low-maintenance benefits. Dummy sashes can create balanced proportions on larger windows, whilst mechanical joints and authentic details help satisfy building regulations in heritage properties.
Flush sash windows from Crown
Crown offers flush sash windows in two premium materials, each engineered to deliver exceptional performance and longevity. Our extensive range ensures every Aylesbury homeowner can find the perfect solution for their property’s specific requirements.
uPVC flush sash windows
uPVC (unplasticised polyvinyl chloride) is a specialist plastic that has become the UK’s most popular window material due to its outstanding versatility and durability. Far from being limited to plain white finishes, modern uPVC windows offer remarkable customisation possibilities, including authentic woodgrain effects that closely replicate traditional timber windows.
Our uPVC flush sash windows deliver:
· Exceptional thermal performance with multi-chamber profiles
· Minimal maintenance requirements – no painting or staining needed
· Superior weather resistance that won’t warp, rot or fade
· Cost-effective solution with excellent long-term value
· 10-year warranty coverage for complete peace of mind
Aluminium flush sash windows
Aluminium is a premium metal material that offers unmatched strength-to-weight ratios, enabling slimmer frames that maximise glass areas. This increased glazing allows more natural light into your home, which research shows can improve mood, boost vitamin D production and create a greater sense of space and wellbeing for your family.
Our aluminium flush windows provide:
· Incredibly strong frames supporting large glass panes
· Complete weather resistance in all UK climates
· 100% recyclable material for environmental sustainability
· Powder-coated finishes in any RAL colour specification

Choose from popular options including anthracite grey, chartwell green, Irish oak, rosewood and cream, or opt for dual-colour finishes with different inside and outside appearances. Our aluminium windows can be powder-coated to any RAL colour, including contemporary matt and textured effects.
Glazing options
Beyond standard clear glazing, we offer various decorative options for privacy and style. Choose from patterns including Cotswold, Chantilly, stippolyte and digital designs that add character whilst maintaining natural light levels. We can also specify laminated panes for increased security or noise reduction.
Additional features
Complete your flush sash windows with premium finishing touches. Integral blinds fit within sealed glazing units, eliminating dust accumulation whilst providing convenient light control.
