Choosing uPVC Replacement Window Handles

Window handles are a fundamental component of your uPVC windows and should match to the existing frame. The most important factor is the spindle's length, which determines if your new uPVC handle will fit.

Use the table below as a quick reference to measure the length of the spindle of your uPVC handle. This will ensure you order the appropriate replacement window handle for your double glazed window.

Espag Handle

Espag handles are the most common style of handle found on windows made of Upvc (they're often found in aluminium and wood too). The handles feature a square spindle that extends from the handle's back and locks into the multi-point locking mechanism on the window. The handle is used to operate the locking system around the window.

Espag window handles are available in many different styles and functions. Some come with the option of a push button to lock them in locking closed, and key-locking. (And fire-escape nonlocking in the event of need.) Many of them meet the Secure by design specifications for an extra level of security. They also come with a range of different lengths of spindles, that can be adjusted using spindle sleeves that reduce the size of the protruding spindle.

The espagnolette handles we offer have been tested by Yale to ensure they meet the exacting standards that you would expect from such a reputable brand. They're suitable for upvc, timber and aluminum windows. We have a range of colors to choose from, as well as the option of matching the handle to the hinges you already have.

The step height is another important aspect of the espagnolette handle. This is the distance between the bottom of the handle and the point at which it rests on the frame. It's crucial to have this in order to ensure a tight and secure fit. Most of our handle designs are 43mm between screw hole centres, which is a industry standard.

Like other kinds of handles, you can pick between straight and Cranked designs. Cranked handles are perfect for situations where the espagnolette handle will be situated close to the edge of the frame as they will give you more room to open the window.

Our replacement range for handles made of upvc includes a variety of finishes, styles, and colors that match the decor of your home, such as satin nickel, polished chrome and antique brass. Some of our products even have a soft-close feature to minimize the sound of your windows slamming shut.

Cockspur Handle

The Cockspur Window Handle was created for those who manufacture windows and want to provide their customers with an elegant and premium design. These handles are compatible with uPVC windows or aluminium frames. They function by using an edge that is locked over the frame's edge to secure the window. The window handle can be locked so that it only opens when pushed, providing additional security. The handle comes in five different finishes and both left hand and right hand versions, allowing the manufacturer to accommodate a greater range of windows.

The window handle for the cockspur cockspur is supplied with three packing pieces that are of different thicknesses. This allows them to be adjusted to a variety of sizes for backsets. Each packer can be removed from the handle nose or added to the size of the step to get a different distance between 9mm and 21mm. The handle is also available in right or left handed versions, and both either a straight or curly nose option.

It is essential to determine the height of your current handle before purchasing a new handle in order to make sure it fits correctly. A wrong handle could cause a number of problems including the inability to close the window. This can be a hassle for homeowners and cause unnecessary stress.

A cockspur is a handle found on older uPVC, timber and aluminium windows. These types of handles don't have any kind of window lock, in contrast to an Espag handle that is used on modern windows that have shootbolts and an Espagnolette bar window lock.

The handle that is a espagnolette (often shortened as 'espag" or 'espag") is the most common handle type used on new uPVC Casement Windows. When you turn the handle of the espagnolette it engages the Yale Encloser locking system which is much more secure than a conventional handle, such as a cockspur or British standard. This is because when you turn the espagnolette handle it turns several locks inside the window frame to secure it.

Turn and Tilt Handle

These windows are popular with those who wish to increase the amount of airflow inside their home and also add a degree of security. As the name suggests they have a turn and tilt function that lets the window tilt open at 90 degrees, providing the appearance of a small opening, or drop into a hopper-style design for full ventilation. This dual functionality is also a distinct appearance that can create a real wow factor to the double-glazed windows you have.

Tilt-and-turn windows are more complex than other double-glazed window styles and can cost more in the process of installation. They require more components and a lot of labor. They are worth the investment because they can add value and provide many advantages to your home.

The primary benefit of these ladders is that they allow you to clean your windows without external ladders. This is ideal for people who live high up in buildings or flats, as it eliminates the need to risk falling down from a height. Tilt and turn windows also provide additional security since windows are locked when in a tilted state, so unwanted intruders cannot open them from inside.

These handles are typically found on European style windows in Germany and other European countries, but they can also be used in UK homes. The uPVC replacement handle is normally an a spindle-based handle and has 7mm square spindles which is typically found in lengths of 32mm, 38mm or 44mm. The base of this handle is also larger than other handles, which is why it's called a "tilt-safe" window handle. It is only opened after the window is locked into a closed position or tilted.

To replace a uPVC window handle that is tilted and turns, you need to first remove the old handle with the screwdriver. The screws are usually concealed behind a backplate that is sprung loaded. Simply lift the backplate and then twist it to reveal two screw holes. You can measure the distance between the two screw holes with the ruler or tape measuring device. This will usually be 43mm from the centre to the centre. Once you've determined the measurement, you can order the right handle size to match your uPVC windows.

Aluminum handles are usually constructed from weatherproof and corrosion-resistant alloys. They are sturdy enough to meet the requirements of the construction industry.
