Choosing Upvc Window Replacement Hinges

It's not as difficult as it may appear to select and install Upvc replacement hinges. Check that the hinges' arrows face in the correct direction, and measure the thickness of the hinge arms on the opening frame (13mm or 17mm).

There are several kinds of hinges to pick from, each one with distinctive features. This article will focus on the most popular kinds of uPVC window hinges and their advantages.

Egress/Easy Clean Hinge

These are a great choice to replace or upgrade your fire escape safety windows since they open up to a full 90 degree angle. They can be removed in an easy-cleaning position which allows you to get access to the outside of windows without having to climb ladders or lean at dangerous angles.

These heavy duty egress hinges are made by Yale, one of the most well-known and trusted home security brands on the market today. They are suitable for all types of uPVC side-hung windows. They can be moved to the easy-to-clean position by pressing in a small button and then sliding the window sash to one side. After closing, the window sash will revert to its original 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 protect against fire. These hinges permit an opening larger in the event of a fire. The building regulations state that this type of hinge should be placed in any habitable space with a window.

It allows the opening sash to slide across when it is open for easy cleaning of the external side of the glass to glass hinges without needing to use ladders.

Take a measurement of the length of the side-hung window hinge that is fixed to the frame. (See the guide for measuring upvc window hinges). Choose the proper size hinge below.

Note that this measurement is taken at the part of the hinge that connects to the frame and not the sash. The actual length of the hinge could be shorter or longer depending on the way your windows were made in the past. When deciding the size of the hinge, the majority of frames made of upvc can accommodate the 13mm stack height however if your original window frame measures 17mm, you should select this option. Alternately, you can 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. These can be bought separately if you require. Our window repair screws made of upvc are highly recommended.

Restricted Hinge

There are times windows need to completely open, and this can be difficult using hinges that are standard. These child safety friction hinges are a great solution to this issue. They can be used when ventilation is required but cleaning or escape from an fire isn't possible. They function by limiting the amount the sash can open and allowing the control of this limitation with the push of a button. They are available in 13mm or 17mm stack heights and can be used to open both side and top hung windows.

It is suitable for both side hung and top opening uPVC windows and is available in 17mm and 13mm stack heights. It is available in a pair, with one hinge being the restricted egress, and the other hinge being unrestricted. This allows one to be installed at the bottom while the other is set on top.

These uPVC restricting hinges have been tested to BS6375 Part 2. They are intended to be used on windows that isn't able to be fully opened, like a small children's bedroom. The mechanism restricts the amount the sash can open to the safety level of 100mm and re-engages once the window is closed.

When replacing a window hinge it is essential to determine the length of the current hinge to ensure that you purchase replacements that are similar in size. The easiest way to do this is to look at the hinge in the gallery and working out the best place for it to be placed. Top hung hinges can be restricted on both sides, while side hung hinges can only be used only on one side.

Standard Hinge

A standard hinge has metal-to-metal contact, and there are no additional parts to decrease friction hinges for timber windows. It is available in a variety of finishes and has a fire rating. To determine the radius of your hinge put it on its flat surface and line up with a quarter and dime in two corners. If the dime is more snug, the corner is rounded by 1/4 inch. If the quarter fits better, it's rounded by 5/8 inch.

The right hinge can make or ruin the appearance of your door. Achieving the same style and design of the hinges to your door will give it an attractive and well-integrated look.
