Choosing your new windows is a significant decision with substantial financial implications, so it's essential to make the right choice for yourself. However, we understand that it can be challenging to determine what looks right for your home, so here are the five most popular window styles in the UK.
1. Flush Casement Windows
According to our sales data from 2021 and 2022, flush casement windows have been the most popular window style, doubling sales from their second-place position. A classic style that works with every style property, it’s easy to see why this is the best window design for a home. One reason they might be so popular is their versatility. They work well as a stand-alone window, as part of a combination frame (with multiple sashes, such as a grid), and they work particularly well within a bay window design. The clean, traditional lines within the design blend perfectly with all styles of property without looking out of place.
2. Sliding Sash Windows
The more traditional sliding sash window style doesn’t lend itself to quite as many property styles as the flush casement, but it has proven to still be a very popular window design in the UK. Choose with or without glazing bars for extra versatility, but you’ll still be left with a beautiful, traditional finish to your property should you opt for a sliding sash.
3. Lipped Casement
The more contemporary-styled sibling of the flush casement, the lipped casement window incorporates an additional layer of protection, making the window stand proud of the frame. If you’re looking to renovate a more modern house or replicate the local vernacular, these windows are a perfect choice, particularly with or without the addition of glazing bars!
4. Bay Windows
Finally, the bay window setup, which can be composed of either flush casement or sliding sash windows, is one of the best ways to add extra light, create a sense of space, and utilise some extra space in your home. Making a grand impression, bay windows not only look the part but can also add considerable value to your property in years to come, with their desirability level consistently high.
