uPVC Window Hardware Explained

uPVC Window Hardware Explained — here's a clear, practical explanation.

The hardware in a uPVC window

Hardware means the rollers, hinges, friction stays, locks, handles, and gaskets fitted to a window — the moving and sealing parts you use every day.

What to know

Look for this

  • Rollers for sliding sashes
  • Friction stays and hinges for casements
  • Multi-point locks and handles
  • Continuous gaskets for sealing
  • Sized to the sash weight

Why it matters for your windows

Hardware is where windows wear, so quality hardware sized to each sash is what keeps them running smoothly and sealing tightly for years. We fit quality hardware in-house.
