Types of uPVC Windows Handles
It can take an extended time to locate an appropriate replacement window handle or lock that fits the existing mechanisms. It is important to identify the kind of handle your window has.
You should also be aware of the step height. This is the distance between the nose of handle and the frame's base or base. You also need to know if there is an articulation.
Espag
Espag is a handle that sits on uPVC doors and windows. These handles are used to operate the multipoint locking system which locks the uPVC casement window or timber casement when it's opened. These handles can also be found on French Doors as well as other types of window frames. These handles are the most secure for double-glazed windows as they have multiple locks that the handle turns when it is being used.
The handles are made of metal and have a shaft at the back that fits into a gearbox in the window. This allows them to operate the multi-point locks around the perimeter. These locks are available in shootbolts, roller cams, or deadbolts. They are suitable for uPVC and aluminium windows. They are available in straight or cranked models, based on the way your windows are constructed.
Our online store offers a wide variety of handles with espagnolette. There are handles that are designed to be operated by keys to provide extra security, and others that don't have this feature. Handle designs differ from a flat design to a ringed, elegant design. Some of the handles are offered in a range of different spindle lengths as well. This is important as the size of the uPVC window handle needs to be in line with the spindle length that is fitted to the window.
If you're planning to replace the handle on your uPVC window or install new windows, you should be aware of the distinction between cockspur and espag handles. This will help you select the appropriate replacement. Cockspur handles are typically installed on older double-glazed windows. Espag handles, however, are more popular in modern homes with uPVC window styles.
The espag mechanism is different from the cockspur mechanism in that it employs a flat, metal strip (called an espagnolette rod) that runs up the side of the window that locks. The rod is then fitted with round studs called mushrooms that move upwards and downwards when the espagnolette handle is moved. The mushrooms are then locked into a metal plate called a keep on the window frame.
Tilt and Turn
Tilt-and turn windows offer European design, improved functionality, and enhanced security, while also maximizing energy efficiency. They are the ideal solution for homeowners or building projects who want to increase the value of homes or properties.
These windows feature dual-function handles that allow them to open like an entrance and then tilted to the side to allow for ventilation. They also make an excellent escape point in the case emergencies and are ideal for bedrooms since they allow you to open them wide enough to allow for egress.
Tilt-and turn windows are simple to operate and look beautiful on a variety of houses and buildings. They also come with a variety of features not available in other types of windows, including different opening configurations bars that give a more traditional style and a variety of materials and finishes. Spray painting is another option to achieve any desired color or style.
When the window is closed it is secured and locked. When upvc replacement door handles is positioned vertically up, the sash moves inward around 20 degrees. This is an efficient and comfortable method to let air circulate, as air is exchanged through the top gap.
To turn the window handle, turn it until it's at 90 degrees to the lock position. The sash will then open outwards and is firmly held by the hinges on the bottom. This allows the windows to be opened in a larger way to let in light and air.
Tilt and turn windows are an ideal choice for people with pets or children because they can be opened from the bottom, without allowing them to fall out of the window. The hinge at the bottom stops them from being opened to a large extent, and so they cannot be smashed by burglars. They are also an excellent choice for those who want to lower their heating costs and improve efficiency in energy use since they provide a good level of thermal insulation. This is achieved by using multi chamber profiles and triple or double glazing.
