Espag

Espag is the name given to handles that is installed on uPVC windows and doors. These handles are used to operate the multipoint locking system which secures a uPVC casement window handle upvc or timber casement when it's opened. They can also be found on French doors as well as on other types of window frames. These handles are the most secure for double glazed door handle-glazed windows since they have multiple locks that rotate when it is being used.

The handles are made of metal and have a spindle that fits into a gearbox in the window to operate a set of multi-point locks that are found on the outside of the window. These locks may take the form of roller cams, shootbolts or dead bolts, or they can be a combination of all three. This makes them ideal for uPVC or aluminum windows. They are available in straight and cranked styles according to the method by which your windows were constructed.

Our online store has a wide variety of handles with espagnolette. Certain espagnolette handles are key operated to ensure security while others do not. Handle designs vary from a flat style to a ringed elegant design. Some aluminium door handles are available with different sizes for the spindles.

If you're looking to replace the handle on your uPVC window or to install new windows, you should be aware of the distinction between cockspur and espag handles. This will allow you choose the best replacement. Cockspur handles tend to be fitted on older double glazed windows. Espag handles are, however, more common in modern houses that have uPVC window styles.

The espag mechanism is different from the cockspur mechanism in that it employs a flat, metal strip (called an espagnolette rod) that runs up the locking side of the window. This is then fitted with round studs referred to as mushrooms that move up and down when the handle of an espagnolette is moved. The mushrooms then lock into a metal plate that is attached to the window frame known as a keep.

Tilt and Turn

Tilt and Turn windows offer the perfect blend of European design and style with a greater efficiency, security and energy efficiency. They are the perfect solution for building projects and homeowners looking to add value to their homes or buildings.

When the window is shut it is locked. When the handle for patio door is positioned vertically up, the sash tilts to the left around 20 degrees. This is a comfortable and effective mode of ventilation as it allows air to flow through the gap at the top.

To turn the window handle, rotate it until it's at 90 degrees to lock position. The sash then opens outwards and is held by the hinges at the bottom. This allows the windows to be opened wider which allows for more light and ventilation.

They are also a great option for families with small pets or children as they can be opened at the bottom without allowing the child to fall out. They can also be left open even when not at home, as the hinge at the bottom stops them from opening too far and also prevents them from being broken by burglars. They are a good option for those who want to reduce their heating costs and improve efficiency since they offer the highest level of thermal insulation. This is accomplished by using the multi-chamber profile, as well as double or triple glazing.
