French Casement Windows in Wantage, Oxfordshire
Every french casement windows project we deliver in Wantage starts with a senior surveyor on site — measuring, listening, and specifying to the character of Grove, Letcombe Regis and the wider Oxfordshire area. French casement windows with twin opening sashes and no central mullion — the widest clear opening in the range.
French Casement Windows designed around Cotswold stone cottages, Oxford townhouses and painted heritage profiles.
Wantage's Georgian Market Place, the surrounding downland villages and the growing Grove developments across OX12 combine market-town character with expanding new-build. We install throughout with planning-ready drawings.

Multi-point espagnolette locking on both sashes with shoot-bolts top and bottom — as secure as any single-sash casement, tested to PAS 24:2016.
Astragal & Georgian Bar Options

- How is a French casement different from a normal 2-light casement?
- A normal 2-light casement has a fixed mullion between the two sashes — you always see the vertical bar. A French casement has no mullion; the two sashes meet on a movable centre stile that opens with them, so when both are open the aperture is completely clear.
- Are they secure without a central mullion?
- Yes — the meeting stile has shoot-bolts at the top and bottom that engage into the outer frame, and the active sash has multi-point espag locking. The whole assembly is tested to PAS 24 and provides the same security as a standard casement.
- Can I have Georgian bars on a French casement?
- Yes — astragal and Georgian bars in 18mm or 25mm, applied or through-frame, are available on both sashes and any fixed lights above. Popular on flush-casement French windows in period properties.
