An Overview

How do uPVC Casement Windows Work?
Casement window (openable window) in UPVC has two locking options:
- Single point locking
- Multi-point locking
Single point locking is recommended for sash height up to 3’. Cockspur handle is used for single point locking arrangement, Left-hand or Right-hand operated as per customer requirements. In locked condition, the lever of the handle rests on the Wedge, a plastic part usually supplied with the handle.
Multi-point locking requires Espagnolette Handle with a base width of 17 – 18 mm, which is usually L-shaped, Casement Espagnolette and suitable Strikers for the locking point.
The height of the handle ranges between 55 – 57 mm and length ranging from 155 – 160 mm. These handles are suitable only for Casement windows without mesh provision.
Espagnolette is a gear rod with 22 mm backset, which operates on rack and pinion concept.
For sash height more than 3’, multi-point locking is recommended to ensure uniform sealing of the window sash with window frame from top to bottom. The length of the Espagnolette depends on the window height. OBEN maintains stocks in lengths of 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1600 & 1800 mm.

White and Dark Brown (Blackish brown RAL8022) handles are in powder coated finish whereas Gold and Silver are in carbon floating paint finish, having very high corrosion resistance properties.
