The backset is the distance between the baseplate of the window to the underside of the handle's nose. Aluminium window frames are usually 9mm wide, whereas UPVC is 21mm wide. There are also many variations, so it's important to take measurements prior to purchasing the handle.

The spindle, or in some cases, the entire handle assembly can be removed by unscrewing the handle. The replacement handle can then be screwed into place with the help of pozidriv screws.

Turn and Tilt

The most prestigious European window style with tilt and turn has been in use in Europe for a long time, however it is only now starting to catch on in the Americas. They combine the functionality of three window types into one - tilt, pivot and in-swing. This makes them ideal for older homes, as they can provide a greater level of ventilation than standard window types.

When in the closed position tilt and turn windows lock like a normal fixed window. By turning the handle either 90or 180 degrees, depending on the tilt-and-turn type of window the sash opens inwards, and the window will turn inwards to allow air to circulate. This is a great solution to let air circulate without the need to open a large window, which can be a safety risk if not properly secured when opening.

If the handle is turned a further 90@ or 180@, the sash can be fully opened as the door. This allows complete air circulation, which is particularly beneficial in rooms with a lot of draft or houses where smoke and other odors can build up.

Another important part of choosing the right handle is knowing whether your windows need a restrictor or not. They are usually used in high-rise apartments or commercial structures, but are not required for homes that are primarily residential.
