Types of Window Handles

Window handles are an important element to the overall look of your home and it's important to think about not just the style, but also the functionality. There are a number of different types of handle available such as Espag handles, Cockspur handles, tilt and turn.

Espag handles are usually found on double-glazed windows. They are compatible with espagnolete locks that have multi-point security. They can be mounted in-line or turned.

uPVC

uPVC has become a popular alternative to aluminium and timber because of its low cost. It is not just environmentally friendly, but also a wise investment. It is strong, durable and weatherproof. uPVC has been tested at extreme temperatures to ensure that it doesn't fade in the sun's ultraviolet. It is also resistant to corrosion and other chemicals, like acids.

Window handles are generally comprised from uPVC. They are used to lock, open and close your windows. They are available in a variety of styles and sizes. They can be purchased at most hardware stores and aren't expensive. The handle may be damaged or broken when your windows aren't closing properly or if the locks won’t engage. The replacement of the handle will improve the function of your windows and make them look fantastic.

Before buying new uPVC handles, you will be required to measure the backset. This measurement is the distance from the bottom of the nose of the handle to the bottom of the screw plate. The most commonly used uPVC handles come with a backset of 43mm. There is also windows handles that have a smaller or larger backset depending on the type of window you have. It is also important to think about whether you have a cockspur spade or blade handle. Cockspur handles feature an elongated spindle that protrudes from the handle. Blade and spade handles are equipped with fixed windows.

If your uPVC handles are jammed, the spindle inside the handle is probably worn out. This is a very frequent issue that is seen in older windows and can be resolved by replacing the handle. It is also possible that the roller cam on the bolt for shooting has become separated from the handle.
