How A Weekly Double Glazing Window Handles Project Can Change Your Life
Types of Window Handles

Window handles are an important aspect of the overall design of your home and it's crucial to consider not only style but also function. There are a number of different types of handles to choose from such as Espag handles, Cockspur handles, tilt and turn.

Espag handles are typically found on double-glazed windows. They work with espagnolete locks that have multi-point security. They can be fitted in-line or cranked.

uPVC

uPVC is a viable alternative to timber and aluminium that has gained popularity due to its affordable pricing. This product is not only environmentally friendly, but also a good investment. It is tough, durable and weatherproof. uPVC is tested in harsh temperatures to ensure that it does not fade due to solar radiation. It also resists rust, other chemicals and acids.

Window handles are generally made of uPVC. They are used to lock, open and close your windows. They can be found in a variety of designs and sizes. They can be purchased at most hardware stores and are inexpensive. The handle can be damaged or broken in the event that windows aren't closing properly or if the locks won’t engage. The replacement of the handle will bring back the functionality of your windows and make them look fantastic.

Before purchasing new handles made of uPVC, it is necessary to be required to measure the backset. This measurement is the distance between the underside of handle's nose and the bottom of screw plate. The most popular uPVC handles have a backset of 43mm. You can also find windows that have smaller or greater backset depending on the type of window you have. You should also decide if you have a cockspur, blade or spade handle. Cockspur handles come with an extra spindle that is protruding from the handle. Spade and blade handles work with fixed windows.

If your uPVC handles are blocked, the spindle in the handle is probably worn out. This is a common problem with older windows. It can be resolved by replacing the handle. It could be that the roller on the shoot bolt has separated from the handle.

Cockspur window handle systems are latch and catch systems installed on aluminium, timber and uPVC casement windows.

Espagnolette

As you can see on the majority of modern double glazed windows Espagnolette handles work with multi-point locking systems. They have a spindle at the back which locates into a gearbox inside the window which, when turned, activates the shootbolt system that secures the exterior of the window that opens. Espagnolette handles are a versatile choice and can be used in tilt-and-turn windows as well as traditional cock spur Windows. They come in a range of styles like cranked, offset and locking designs and monkeytail, peardrop, reeded and teardrop handles to match both modern and traditional preferences.


The term "cranked" refers to the lever's design being a bit further away from the frame of the handle which allows for more hand clearance against the window frame when it is operated. This can be a great benefit when 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 depending on the orientation of the window they are replacing.
