One of the most popular styles of windows for residential properties in the UK, and often considered to offer even greater protection against the elements, stormproof casement windows, also known as lipped casement, features sashes that close, overlapping the frame. Advanced performance and an authentic appearance come as standard, adding value and style to any project. Learn more about stormproof windows here at Dale Joinery.

Our cavity formers provide a benefit in their quick lead time from order to delivery, enabling openings to be quickly and accurately formed on site, allowing the scheduling of external joinery to be taken off the critical path. Windows and doors can be ordered in plenty of time, knowing that they will fit accurately into the pre-formed openings. No need to wait for the openings to be built, then measured and ordered, potentially saving you weeks on site!
The standard cavity closer order process is incredibly easy. Just specify the cavity size and whether it is ‘in-line’ (brick and block lining through) or ‘in-check’ (set behind the face brickwork).
Fire rated cavity closers are also available, combining a 60 minute cavity fire barrier and cavity closer former in ONE product.
Stormproof casement windows are specifically designed to offer greater protection against harsh weather conditions. They are alternatively known as lipped casements, and the reason is that the lip prevents the window from going further into the frame like a flush casement window.
Traditional casements have a frame that is flush with the opening or fixed sash externally. A Lipped or stormproof casement has a casement that laps over the external frame to (in theory) create better weather protection using a rebated design. Both Dale casement styles perform equally with regards to weather protection and air permeability ratings so the choice is more about aesthetics over performance.
