Casement Windows

The origins of the UK’s first casement windows go back to the 18^th century and all this time on, homeowners still adore their style. Why do they continue to captivate people? Design adjustment would be one reason, and another is the unquestionable timelessness of a casement. Flush and non-flush versions of casement windows both include top or side openers and you can specify countless bespoke touches.

Orion insists on its casement windows being supplied with energy-efficient glass as standard so that you profit from upscaled comfort and reduced heating bills. Double glazed or triple glazed units can occupy the framework.

White is the typical colour option selected for UPVC windows, but if white doesn’t correspond with your home’s architecture, explore our alternative hues. Within the colour palette you’re sure to identify a shade that’s perfectly in tune.

Amongst the top-ranking finishes is Anthracite Grey, great for establishing a sleek window aesthetic, and Chartwell Green is nearly as popular, a gorgeously tranquil tone. Finishes can be combined by asking for dual-coloured windows to exhibit two opposing colours internally and externally.

Flush windows used to be the predominant window style employed in most regions of the UK and their popularity has risen again following the development of Orion’s Envisage flush window. Original design principles have been obeyed to make Envisage as authentic as we possibly could.

You can tell that Envisage is a direct descendant of an original flush casement as apart from not having a timber profile, it has an authentic finish and the precise same proportions. Being manufactured from UPVC makes it a whole lot easier to maintain than a wooden flush design, with strictly no repainting or varnishing required.

Orion has respected coloured finishes of the past that would be employed on flush casement windows, including them in the Envisage palette. Light Oak is a favourite of old that resonates with a modern audience of window buyers and turns Envisage into a wood-like creation.

Have a good feel of an Envisage window and prepare to be amazed at how akin to a wooden frame it is. We can conclusively tell you that no timber is involved, only the finest UPVC.

UPVC windows won’t always be in sync with certain properties – one of them might be yours. Orion resolved to craft an alternative solution and it’s our Eclipse aluminium windows. Sleeker than a UPVC window, Eclipse houses abundant glazing.

Without seeing an Eclipse window, it’s hard to anticipate just quite how slender the framework is in the design. Glass dominates Eclipse and you will experience that for yourself when you see how sun riched your interior becomes after its installation in whatever your desired size is.

There’s a lot of time, patience and dedication that goes into realising our aluminium window finishes and it tells by the quality of the colour. Overall, 11 separate stages of application are required, a process that Orion has uncovered as being the most effective for achieving high-class results.

Aluminium finishes for Eclipse can be developed to mirror the appearance of wood and it necessitates a separate colour formulation method called sublimation. These woodgrains are incredibly realistic and the next best thing to timber. Analyse the many colour offerings by inspecting the palette.

Prolific handle usage is inevitable over the life of the windows, so we’ve crafted handles that are functional, comfortable and can resist wear and tear. The handles are split into two categories – traditional and contemporary, giving you optimum choice.

Equally as importantly, security is built into the handles, making them supremely difficult to compromise, much to the disappointment of thieves.

Amidst choosing the window hardware and specifically a handle, you must nominate an appropriate colour for this essential window apparatus. Orion will put four potential options before you – white, gold, black and chrome hardware.

No diminishing of the finish will occur as the years progress i.e. rusting, flaking or colour decaying thanks to the durability of it.

Explore the many glazing options there are at Orion, each of which excels at funnelling natural light into interiors and keeping them out of the clutches of the cold. Increase privacy levels by instructing us to incorporate privacy glazing into the casement windows.

On correct specifications, Orion’s glazing can provide a good amount of soundproofing, handy if you reside somewhere blighted by noise. Call in some expert help from an advisor if our abundant glazing creations leave you puzzled which to pick.

A little extra detail goes a long way with casement windows. We refer to the incorporating of classic leaded, astragal or Georgian bars, which greatly amplify their appearance. In coordination with Orion, you can organise how these bars are arranged.

Appealing bar decoration gives the windows an added emphasis and ensures that visiting guests cannot possibly overlook them.
