Window Hinges
Window hinges come in a variety of styles and designs, and can be made from different materials such as steel, stainless steel, brass, or aluminum. The most common types of window hinges are friction hinges, butt hinges, and stormproof hinges.
Friction hinges are a popular choice for modern windows, as they allow the window to be opened and held in any position. They use a friction mechanism to keep the window open, and can be adjusted to provide the right amount of resistance.
Butt hinges are a more traditional type of hinge that are often used on wooden windows. They consist of two plates that are attached to the window frame and sash, and are secured together with a pin. Butt hinges come in a variety of sizes and finishes to match the surrounding hardware.
Stormproof hinges are typically made from durable materials, and are designed to withstand the elements and resist corrosion. They are also often designed with a secure locking mechanism to prevent forced entry. One of the key features of stormproof hinges is that they have a deeper offset than standard hinges, which allows the door or window to be sealed more tightly against the frame. This helps to prevent air and water from entering the building, improving energy efficiency and reducing the risk of water damage.
Overall, window hinges are a crucial component of any window, providing the necessary support and functionality to allow the window to be opened and closed. The type of hinge used will depend on the style of the window, as well as the weight and size of the window sash.
