Choosing the Right Window Handle For Your UPVC Window

The proper window handle is crucial to a properly fitted uPVC. You'll need a style that's not just functional but also fits the aesthetic of your home.

It is simple to swap a uPVC handle. All you need are the tools listed below and only a few minutes of your time.

Metal

Metal window handles are an attractive piece of furniture and a necessary hardware item to enhance the security of your home. A range of metal window handles are available, suited to a variety of frames and materials. Certain designs are specifically designed for sash windows to help in making opening and closing the window smoother and less likely to get jammed. For those seeking a safer option, there are also various locking mechanisms designed to prevent the window from opening beyond a certain amount.

The most popular type of window handle that is used on UPVC is the epag handle. They feature a mental spindle at the back that is fixed to the frame of the window and drives the window mechanism. Both UPVC and aluminum windows come with them.

Cockspur handles can be found on older UPVC window frames. These handles can be more difficult than modern Espag handles since they utilize a traditional peg locking mechanism.

Cam handles are available to give a sleeker look. They have a sleek edge and are designed to work with many other types of uPVC windows. They are perfect for tilt and turn windows, where you can open the window from the bottom, while being able to open the top.

It is important to take several aspects into consideration when selecting new metal window handles including the step height as well as how the handle turns. The first refers to the distance between the underside of the handle nose and the bottom of the screw plate, while the latter is which direction the handle will be able to turn. Certain handles can only rotate in only one direction, like clockwise. Other handles can only rotate in the opposite direction.
