Types of Window Handles

Window handles are an important element of the overall look of your home. It is crucial to consider both function and style. There are a number of different kinds of handles available such as Espag handles, Cockspur handles, tilt and turn.

Espag handles for patio doors are the most commonly used type of handle that is found in modern double-glazed windows and work with espagnolete locks that have multi-point security. They can be mounted in-line or cranked.

uPVC

uPVC has become a popular alternative to aluminium and timber due to its low price. It is not just green, but also a wise investment. It is strong, durable and weatherproof. uPVC has been tested at extreme temperatures to make sure it doesn't fade in the sun's ultraviolet. It is also resistant against rust as well as other acids and chemicals.

Window handles are usually made from uPVC. They are used to secure, open and close your windows. You can find them in a variety of styles and sizes. They are available in most hardware stores for a reasonable price. If your windows aren't closing correctly or the locks don't engage, it could be due to the handle being damaged or broken. The replacement of the handle will restore your windows' functionality and make them look fantastic.

You'll need to measure the backset of your window prior purchasing new uPVC handles. This measurement is the distance from the bottom of the nose of the handle to the bottom of the screw plate. The most common uPVC handle has 43mm of backset. There are window handles with a smaller or bigger backset, depending on the kind and size of your window. You will also have to consider whether you have a cockspur, blade or spade handle. Cockspur handles have a spindle that protrudes from the handle, while blade and spade handles are designed for fixed windows.

Espagnolette

Found on most modern double-glazed windows Espagnolette handles work with multi-point locking systems. The spindle at the back of the handle is placed into a gearbox inside the window. When it is turned, the gearbox moves the shootbolt, which is used to secure the perimeter around the opening window. Espagnolette handles are a versatile choice and can be used for tilt-and-turn window systems as well as traditional cock spur windows. They are available in various designs, including cranked, off-set and locking designs as also monkeytails, peardrops and teardrops. They are also available with reeded and reede handles, to suit both contemporary and traditional styles.

The term "cranked" refers to an ergonomic lever design that is situated a bit farther away from the handleframe which allows for a larger space between the window frame and the hand when working. This can be a benefit in the event that the original handles were located right up against the frame's edge, making them difficult for the user to manipulate. The cranked designs are available in right-hand or left-hand models based on the orientation of the window they are replacing window handles.
