Casement window styles
Flush timber casement windows
Flush timber casement windows are an incredibly popular design which work perfectly for either a contemporary or more traditional property style.

High performing, customisable and built to last a lifetime, these windows can be paired with your choice of glazing, colour, and ironmongery to perfectly complement your own style and taste as well as your home's aesthetic.
Whether you're looking for a traditional or contemporary style, our bespoke timber casement windows could be the perfect fit for your project.
Lipped timber casement windows
Timber lipped casement windows are a casement window design where the casement stands proud of the window frame, which creates more of a feature of your casement window.
The main difference and key feature of lipped casement windows compared to other casement window designs is the lipped casement. As your window casement will sit proud of your window frame, lipped casements are also known as ‘stormproof’, and they have been a popular choice with UK homeowners since they first appeared in the 1950s.
Lipped Casement windows offer many benefits including simple maintenance, energy efficiency and long lifespan as well as adding value to your home.

Client reviews
Hawker did a brilliant job replacing 2 windows in my flat. Great communication throughout the whole process. They came up against a structural problem when removing one of the old windows but dealt with this quickly and professionally. The finished windows are stunning and I would not hesitate to recommend Hawker or contact them again for future work.

I have recently taken delivery of sash windows and a front door from Hawker Joinery - the production quality is stunning, the installation team, excellent, and the finish superbe. I had 1 small, niggly issue, they sorted it straight away. What I appreciated is their attention to detail, clarity of communication and personable approach.

Hawker Joinery refurbished 3 Victorian Windows for us. Nick did an extremely professional job taking care not just in the work to the window but also to minimise any mess or disruption to our home. The work has been successful in ensuring that these windows no longer rattle and allow dirt to penetrate into the room.
