How to Choose uPVC Replacement Window Handles

If you've broken a window handle made of upvc, it could be easy to replace it with a replacement. The first step is to remove the screws from the base of your handle (usually the screws are pozidrive).

You will then be able to take off the handle that was previously used and put in a new one. This will ensure your home is more secure and allow you to open your windows from inside.

Espag handles

Espag handles are the most commonly used handle style used on uPVC windows (although they're also found on aluminium and timber windows too). They are operated by a multi-point lock which secures the windows when they are closed. The handle operates by turning a spindle which is extending from the back of the handle and locks into a gearbox in the window. The gearbox then moves a set of locks around the edges of the window to open it. Espag handles are available in various sizes for spindles - as little as 10 mm or as large as 55 mm. It is essential to select the correct spindle size for your window.

Contrary to traditional cockspur handle, which have an offset lever design that requires more hand clearance to operate windows, espag window handles are available in left-handed or right-handed versions depending on your preference and the orientation of the window. A majority of our espag window handles can be secured using a Secure by Design specification or key-locked for extra security.

The handle with a espagnolette is a great option for those who like modern design. It's also easy to install. Simply remove the old handle and then remove the cover of the screw (typically pozidrive bolts) before replacing it with the new one. This is a simple process that will restore the functionality of uPVC Windows.

It may be time to replace the handles on your uPVC tilt-and-turn windows, if they become difficult to use. The majority of handle mechanisms are standard for the industry and therefore picking a replacement that is suitable shouldn't be a problem. To do this you'll need to know the type of handle you want and the step height of the current handle, which you can get from your uPVC installer. This will help you make an informed decision and ensure that the uPVC window handle you purchase will be a perfect fit when they are put in place.

Tilt and Turn Handles

They provide excellent ventilation as well as easy access to the outside. These windows open upwards using side hinges, like casement windows, but also tilt inwards at a 90 degree angle to allow for ventilation and cleaning. They are available in uPVC aluminum, composite and frames, but uPVC is the most cost-effective option and has lower maintenance requirements than timber or aluminum.

A tilt and turn handle is similar to an Espag handle, but it can also operate a tilt-before-turn mechanism. The handles are fitted with a 7mm square spindle which extends out into the frame of the window, and is hidden in the gearbox that controls the tilt before turn mechanism. The handles also rotate the window 360 degrees. The standard Espag handles aren't able to do this.

The handle has detents at the 90-degree positions so that when it is turned to a specific position, you will not be able to move it past that point, this is to ensure the window is secured for security and safety reasons. These handles are equipped with an electronic deadlocking system that locks the keys for extra security, and they are also insurance rated.

These kinds of handles are a heavyweight operational handle made of a solid die cast construction designed specifically for tilt and turn windows. They are also available in a wide range of finishes including white and black chrome, gold, brushed satin and dark bronze.

This large handle acts as a draught-excluder that prevents cold air from entering your home when the window handles for wooden frames is closed. The handle is designed to resemble an elongated lever, which makes it easier to hold. It also provides more leverage when opening the window.

Cadenza handles

Cadenza handles are an innovative espagnolette solution that was specifically designed for slim aluminium window handle profiles. They feature a sturdy grip designed for residential and business applications. A self-contained gearing mechanism inside the handle operates the slide bar, which is fitted into drive pins on an locking bar that is a slat to secure the window. The Cadenza handle is locked by an unlocked key that stops the window from opening.

This handle is suitable for either Left or Right handed situations. It is equipped with a 48mm spade length. You will also need to select a suitable lock for your window. Verify the position of the lever's longest portion to determine if your window is left or right handed. If it points left and you require a window handle that fits the left hand. If it points to the right then you will need a handle for your right hand.

The angle of the Cadenza window handle (W62) is often confused with the straight one that has an angular blade, however they are very different. The angled Cadenza handle requires an angled lock to work properly and the straight model cannot be used with an angled lock since it can cause the blade to bend, which will break the cast part of the blade.

The the handle that is angled is identified by a bar of steel that extends from the base of the handle. It is this which distinguishes it from the straight version. The angled Cadenza handle is the most sought-after of handles and has been in use for years although has seen a decline in sales since the espag lock and espagnolette handle replaced it in new double-glazing.

If the handle's spindle is too short, it won't be capable of engaging the lock mechanism and then open the window.
