Choosing uPVC Replacement Window Handles Window handles are a crucial part of your uPVC windows and should match to the frame. The most important thing is the spindle's length which determines if the new uPVC handle will fit. Use the table below as a quick reference to measure the spindle length of your uPVC handle. This will ensure that you purchase the correct replacement window handle for your double glazed window. Espag Handle Espag handles are most commonly found on upvc (but they're also used in timber and aluminum). The handles feature a square spindle that extends out from the handle's back and locks into the multi-point locking mechanism of the window. By turning the handle, you control the mechanism that locks and unlocks the locking points around the window. Window handles from Espag come in a number of different options that vary in style based on the design you pick and the function you'd like them to serve. Some are equipped with an option to push-button to lock the' closed position and key-locking (and fire-escape non-locking where required). Many of them meet the Secure by Design specification to provide an extra level of security. They also come with various sizes of spindles that can be adjusted by using spindle sleeves to reduce the size of the spindles protruding from them. Yale has examined the espagnolette handles we offer to ensure they are in line with the standards you would expect. They are suitable for Upvc windows as well as timber windows and aluminium frames. We have a selection of colours available, as well as the option of matching the handle to the hinges you already have. Another important feature of espagnolette handles is their step height. This is the distance from the end of the handle to the point where it is placed on the frame, and it's essential to make sure it's right in order to ensure a tight and secure fit. Fortunately, the majority of our handle styles comply with industry standards of 43mm between the screw hole centres. Like other types of handles, you have the choice between straight and cranked designs. Cranked handles are a good choice in situations where the handle of the espagnolette is close to the frame edge. They give you more room to open the window. Our upvc handle replacement range offers a range of finishes, styles, and colors that match the decor in your home, including satin nickel, polished chrome and antique brass. Some of our handles feature a soft-close mechanism to minimize the sound of your windows slamming shut. Cockspur Handle The Cockspur Window Handle is a handle made specifically for the manufacturer who wishes to offer their customers a stylish and durable design. These handles can be used with either uPVC or aluminium windows. They function by incorporating a spur on the handle that is secured over the frame's edge to secure the window. The window handle can be locked so that it opens only when pushed, offering extra security. The handle is available in five different finishes, with right and left handed versions. This lets fabricators provide more windows. The window handle of the cockspur comes with three packing pieces of different thicknesses. This allows them to be adjusted to a variety of backset sizes. Each packer can be removed from the handle's nose or added to the size of the step to get an optimum distance of 9mm and 21mm. The handle is available in right or left handed versions, and both either a straight or curly nose design. When looking for a replacement for your current cockspur handles, it's important to measure the current handle height to make sure that the new handle will be appropriate for the position. A handle that is not right can result in a variety of issues including the inability to close the window. This can be a hassle for homeowners and cause unnecessary stress. A cockspur handle is that is found on older uPVC, timber and aluminium windows. These handles don't have any kind of window lock, as opposed to an Espag handle which is used on more modern windows, which include a shootbolt and Espagnolette bar window lock. The espagnolette handle (often abbreviated as 'espag” or “espag”) is the most common handle type that is found on the latest uPVC Casement Windows. The Yale Encloser locking mechanism is activated when you turn the handles of the espagnolette. This is much safer than a traditional cockspur handle or a standard British handle. This is because the handle turns multiple locks to secure the window frame. Handle with Tilt and Turn These windows are a popular option for those seeking to improve the airflow in their home, while providing an added level of security. Like their name suggests, these windows have a tilt and turn function that allows them to tilt at 90 degrees, which allows for the appearance of a small opening or drop to a hopper-style for full ventilation. The dual functionality gives them an attractive appearance that can greatly enhance the awe factor of double-glazed windows. Tilt-and-turn windows are more complex than other double-glazed window styles that can increase the cost of installation. They require more components and more labour. However, these windows are worth the cost because they increase the value of your home and provide a host of advantages. One of the main benefits is that they allow you to clean your windows from the inside without using ladders that are outside. This is ideal for those who live in high-rise buildings or flats, as it doesn't require you to take a risk of falling from the height. Tilt-and-turn windows offer additional security, as they lock when in a tilted state. This means that burglars can't open them from inside. Usually, you'll find handles like this typically on European style windows, particularly those in Germany However, you can also get them installed in UK homes. The uPVC replacement handle is normally made of a spindle and is fitted with a 7mm square spindle which is usually found in lengths of 32mm, 38mm or 44mm. The handle's base is also more wide than most handles which is why they are known as a tilt safe window handle since it can only be turned to open the window after it has been locked in either the closed or tilt position. To replace a uPVC window handle that turns and turns, you need to first remove the old handle using a screwdriver. The screws are usually hidden behind a sprung loaded backplate, simply lift the backplate and twist it to reveal the two screw holes. Using window handles or tape measure you can measure the distance between these two holes which is usually 43mm centre to centre. Once you have a measurement, you can purchase the right size handle for your uPVC window. Aluminium Handle Diecast aluminum is finished in a stylish matt black colour. Aluminum handles are generally made of corrosion-resistant and weatherproof alloys. They are strong enough to meet the requirements of the construction industry. It is also shaped easily by industrial metal processing processes such as forging, extrusion and casting. This gives it a high degree of flexibility with nearly unlimited design potential. Furthermore, aluminum is extremely durable and has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. It can withstand the harshest conditions. It is also resistant to ultraviolet radiation and can be employed indoors. It's also extremely versatile and can be colored to suit any type of aesthetic. From traditional emulations of hardware metals to lively applications that use hundreds of pure colors The possibilities are endless. Aluminum is not rusty and doesn't require any maintenance. This is due to an oxide coating that naturally shields it from damage. The protective layer can further be enhanced through a variety of treatments like anodizing or powder coating to offer an additional level of protection against corrosion. This means it can last for a long time without needing regular maintenance or cleaning. It is also completely recyclable and eco-friendly. It is therefore a great option for industrial, residential commercial, and residential buildings. It is also fire-proof and provides thermal efficiency.
