UPVC windows & doors <\/strong>can be broadly categorized into \u2013 Casement & Sliding<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Casement<\/strong>:\u00a0 It is an openable system and profiles such as Frame, Sash, Mullion, Glazing-bead, etc., are required.\u00a0 While the Frame is common for both windows & doors<\/a><\/strong> in most of the profile systems, Sashes are different for windows & doors.\u00a0 Sashes are also of Outward and Inward opening types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Both single-point and multi-point locking options are available for Casement windows<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 For single-point locking, Cockspur handles can be used along with a Friction Hinge (Top hung or Side hung) as per requirement.\u00a0 For multi-point locking, Casement window Espagnolette along with Casement window handle (Espag handle) and Friction Hinge<\/strong> \/ Butt Hinge \/ Concealed Hinge<\/strong> can be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Likewise, hardware is also different for windows and doors.\u00a0 For a UPVC casement window<\/a>,<\/strong> a Casement Espagnolette of 20 or 22 mm backset is mostly used whereas the door needs a 30, 32 or 35 mm backset Espagnolette with or without cylinder locking option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Friction Hinge<\/a><\/strong> or Butt Hinge is used on a Casement window, 3D Hinge<\/strong> is required on a Casement door.\u00a0 While selecting the Friction Hinge, it is necessary to know the stack height (overall height of the Friction Hinge in closed condition).\u00a0 Most of the casement windows<\/a> <\/strong>need 13 \u2013 14 mm or 15 \u2013 16 mm stack heights.\u00a0 Friction Hinges are available in different grades of Stainless steel such as SS430, SS202, SS304, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sliding:  <\/strong>This system is available in 2-Track, 2.5-Track, 3-Track & 4-Track.  While the Frames are different, Sashes can be used commonly but depending on the size of the windows \/ doors, suitable Sash can be selected from the range available.  Sliding sashes are of non-euro groove type (for windows) and euro-groove type for doors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Single point locking arrangement in sliding windows can be made with Touch Locks (and Keeps) and Crescent Locks.\u00a0 Multi-point locking arrangement in sliding windows\/doors<\/a><\/strong> can be made with Espagnolettes (7.5 mm or 15 mm backset) and handles such as Pop-up handle, L-type handle, D-type handle, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rollers for Single point locking windows and multi point locking windows \/ doors are different in specifications.  While single rollers are good enough for windows, Adjustable double rollers are required for doors.  While selecting the height of the rollers, overlap of the system (8 mm \/ 10 mm) between frame and sash needs to be considered, apart from load bearing capacity required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suitable Wool piles (in various sizes), water-proof and UV resistant grade are recommended to ensure proper sealing between the sash and frame track.
