Types of uPVC Windows Handles When a window handle or lock fails, it is time-consuming to find a replacement that is compatible with the existing mechanisms. It is essential to know what type of handle your window has. You should also know about the step height. This is the distance between the handle's nose and the frame or base. Also, you should know about handing if applicable. Espag Espag is a handle that is mounted on uPVC doors and windows. These handles are turned to operate a multi-point locking system that locks the uPVC or casement windows made of wood when it is opened. These handles are also found on French doors and other kinds of window frames. These handles are the most secure for windows with double glazing, because they come with multiple locks that turn when it is in use. They have a steel shaft on the back which fits into a gearbox in the window. This allows them to operate the multi-point locks around the perimeter. They are available as shootbolts, roller cams or deadbolts. This makes them ideal for uPVC or aluminum windows. They are available in both straight and cranked styles, depending on the way the windows were built. There are a variety of espagnolette handles that are available in our online store. There are handles that are designed to be operated with keys to provide extra security, and others that don't have this feature. Handle designs differ from a flat to a ringed, elegant design. Some handles are available with different sizes of spindles. This is important as the size of the uPVC window handle should match the length of the spindle that is fitted to the window. Whether you are seeking to replace your current uPVC window handle or you are installing new uPVC windows, it is worth understanding the differences between espag and cockspur handles to ensure you buy the right replacement for your windows. Cockspur handles are usually installed on older double-glazed windows. Espag handles, however, are more popular in modern homes with uPVC window styles. The espag differs from the cockspur in that it uses an espagnolette rod (a flat metal strip) that runs along the locking side of the window. It is then adorned with round studs referred to as mushrooms that move up and down when the espagnolette handle is moved. The mushrooms are then locked into a metal plate on the window frame, referred to as a keep.

They also come with a variety of features not available in other window types with different opening options bars that give a more traditional style and a choice of materials and finishes. They can also be spray painted to be matched to any color or design you like. When the window is shut it is locked. When the handle is vertically up, the sash tilts inward around 20 degrees. This is a comfortable and efficient mode of ventilation as it provides air exchange through the opening at the top. To turn the window handle, turn it until it is 90 degrees to lock position. The sash will open inwards and be secured by hinges at the bottom. This allows the windows to be opened more, allowing more light and ventilation. They are also a great option for families with children or pets as they can be opened from the bottom, without allowing the child to fall out. They are also safe to be left open even when you are not home, since the hinge at the bottom of the window stops them from being opened too far and also prevents them from being broken by burglars.
