It is essential to verify that the arrows on the hinges is facing the correct way and the thickness (13mm or 17mm) of the hinge arm on the open frame. There are a variety of different kinds of hinges, each with their distinct characteristics. This article will discuss the most popular types of uPVC window hinges, and their benefits. Egress/Easy Clean Hinge These windows are an excellent choice to replace or upgrade your fire escape safety windows since they open up to a full 90-degree angle. They can also be lowered to an 'easy clean' position to allow you to easily reach the outside of windows to clean them without climbing a ladder or lean over at potentially hazardous angles. Yale is among the most reputable and well-known brands in the home security industry. These hinges are compatible with any kind of uPVC side-hung window. They can be moved into the clean position by pressing the small button and sliding the window sash over to one side. When the sash is closed, it will automatically reset to its original position. Both 13mm and 17mm sizes are available. Make use of our Egress Selection Guide to help you choose the right product for your window.

The Nico Egress Easy Clean friction hinge is easy to use and doesn't have any buttons or catches. It offers a convenient and secure solution to emergency exit and cleaning. Firstly, open the window to the egress (full opening) position, and then press the hinge retaining clip that is located on the inner side of the bottom corner. This will release the bottom and top catches, allowing you to move the sash into the easy-clean position. Close the window when you have the sash in an easy-cleaning position. This will reset the hinges to their Egress positions. Fire-Escape Hinge Fire Escape Hinges (also known as "Easy Clean") are used to replace windows that open sideways to ensure fire safety. They allow for more space in the event of fire. Building regulations require that this type of hinge has to be set in any habitable space with a window. They feature an exclusive friction stopper that opens the window to an angle of 90 degrees. It allows the opening sash to slide across when open for easy cleaning of the exterior side of the glass, without having to climb ladders. The hinges do not have catch or buttons and are operated with a simple, safe lever that is accessible from inside the home.

To order these hinges simply measure the length of your current side-hung window hinge which attaches to the frame (see the guidelines for measuring the length of your window hinges made of upvc). Then select the correct size hinge from the options below. Note that this measurement is taken from the hinge's point that attaches to the frame, not the sash. The actual hinge length could be shorter or longer depending on how your old windows were manufactured. Also, when choosing the size of your hinge, most windows made of upvc will have a 13mm stack height but should your old frame has 17mm, then select the option that fits this. You can also install the 4mm packer to make up for the difference. All hinges come in two different directions (1 left and one right). Screws aren't included with the hinges. If required, these can be purchased separately. We recommend using our upvc window hinge repair screws.

They restrict the amount of opening the sash and permit the override of this limitation by pressing a button. They can be used for top and side hung windows and come in 13mm and 17mm stack heights. The Nico Restricted Egress Friction Hinge blends the advantages of a standard restrictor and an escape hinge to provide an efficient and simple method to comply with building regulations. It is suitable for side hung and top opening uPVC windows and comes in 17mm and 13mm stack heights. It is available in a pair, where one hinge is restricted egress and the other unrestricted allowing one of these to be fitted at the lower part of the sash, while the other is attached to the top.

Top hung hinges are restricted to both sides and side hung hinges are restricted on one side. Standard Hinge A standard hinge has metal-to-metal contact and no extra parts to reduce friction. It is available in many finishes and has an NFPA-certified fire rating. To quickly determine the radius of hinges, lay it out flat and align a quarter dime in two corners. If the dime is more snug than the quarter, the corner is rounded by 1/4 inch; if the quarter fit better, it's rounded by 5/8 inch. The right hinge can determine the success or failure of your door's appearance. The design and style of your hinges with your door will give it an attractive and cohesive design.
