Aluminium The handles on your double-glazed windows are an important aspect of the overall appearance of your home. They do not just allow you to open and close the windows, but they also offer security by locking the window into place. This prevents intruders from breaking into your home through the windows. Aluminum is a popular material used in window handles. They are available in a range of different colours and styles to fit any style of home. They are designed to withstand prolonged use for a long period of time. They are available in a variety of finishes and are installed either on the inside or outside of the window frame. There are many types of window handles, but they can be classified into three main categories which are cockspur (also known as espag), tilt and turn, and the espag. Cockspur window handle systems are latch and catch systems installed on aluminium, timber and uPVC casement windows. They differ from espag handles because the cockspur handles are closed into a catch, whereas the espag handle is closed to wedge blocks. The cockspur handle and the espag handles are designed to work with the espagnolette locks. This will increase the security of your home. These handles are operated by a lock that is inside the handle. They are ideal for older homes with traditional glazing. They can also be locked with keys, which is especially helpful for safety of children. Aluminium handles are a popular option due to their durability and aesthetics. They are available in a variety of colours, including grey, to fit in with any design. They are also more affordable than uPVC and are great for keeping your home warm by retaining heat. They do not require painting and can be easily repaired. Cockspur Cockspur handles can be found on both timber and upvc windows. These window handles have a nose that locates and locks over an aluminum striker plate that is attached to the frame. The cockspur handle can be locked deadlock to provide additional security. Yale Securistyle cockspur handles come in different sizes to fit your replacement window. The cockspur handle can be used to fit newer double-glazed windows, but it is typically found on older windows. If you are replacing a window with an internal mechanism that is different, you may need to use wedges to ensure that the handle is properly placed in the frame. Window wedges, also referred to as cockspurs wedges, are easy to fix and come in various sizes. These window wedges can be attached to the frame of your new upvc or timber windows to ensure that the handle is correctly situated in the frame. They are usually supplied with a cockspur handle, and are easily identifiable by the flat edge on the back. They are also sold separately and are simple to install. The cockspur handle is a popular choice for casement windows as it can be installed on both left and right hand doors. It is a sturdy, durable handle that can be equipped with keys or a thumb-turn lock to give you additional security and privacy. The cockspur is made of top-quality materials that can stand up to repeated use for a long period of time. It is also available in various finishes to match your existing hardware. This handle is suitable for both wood and uPVC windows with casement. It can be ordered with a thumb-turn or key lock. Espagnolette On the majority of modern double-glazed windows Espagnolette handles operate multi-point locking systems. They feature a spindle on the back which locates into an internal gearbox that when turned moves the shootbolt system which secures the perimeter of the window that opens. Espagnolette handles can be utilized with tilt and turn window systems, as well as traditional cock spur windows so they are quite versatile. They come in a range of styles, including cranked offset and locking designs and monkeytail, peardrop, reeded and teardrop handles to suit both contemporary and traditional styles. The term 'cranked' refers to the lever's design being a little further away from the handle frame which allows for more hand clearance against the window frame when it is operated. This can be a major benefit where the original handles were positioned right against the edge of the frame making them difficult to manipulate. The cranked designs are available in right-handed or left-handed versions based on the orientation of the window they replace. It is important to think about the different styles and types of handles available when replacing uPVC windows or enhancing the look of your home. There are many ways to make your window or door feel more secure, comfortable and secure. If you like the modern look of black handles or the rustic beauty of a cast iron design there are plenty of options to suit any taste and budget. Espag handles are the most commonly used kind of handle used on uPVC and double glazed windows made of aluminum. They have a 7mm squared spindle that controls the multi-point lock system when it is moved and are compatible with tilt and turn and traditional cock spur window systems. They are extremely versatile, and can be used to support a variety of window stays.
