Window Handles

What to follow when choosing a window handle?

By choosing the right finishing accessories, we influence the aesthetics and functionality of window systems. A very important aspect is to match these products with the overall style of the entire space. However, when choosing models, it is inadvisable to be guided only by their appearance. We must keep in mind that they primarily perform an operational function, so it is important to choose models with high resistance to destruction by daily use.

Window handles with a button are equipped with basic functions - opening, closing and unsealing the window. On the surface, they are no different from a traditional window handle. Except that only when the handle button is held down, you can freely operate the handle to tilt the sash. A window handle with a button protects against burglary by pushing from the outside. The mechanism will block the possibility of opening the window without pressing the button at the same time. The button also has the advantage of not having to carry a key and at the same time protecting young children from falling out of the window.

Window handles with a key have a similar purpose as those with a button, however, they can be used in places that require even greater security. These include, for example, hospitals with psychiatric specialties, where great care is taken to ensure that no one accidentally hurts themselves. A keyed window handle can be equipped with a One-Key System, which will allow the staff of such a place to better manage the space in question. We can permanently set the closed or tilted position, and in order to change it, you need to quite precisely push the key into the lock, turn it and turn the handle of the handle.

Socket handles are older type handles, they can be stylized and visually fit into interiors maintained in a retro climate. They have very simple mechanics of operation - they do not offer the same possibilities as 8-position window handles for microventilation. It is the multi-position latch window handles that are equipped with a mechanism to precisely unseal the window to avoid ghosting and indoor condensation and mold. Some of the most secure snap-on window handles are Hoppe Secustik handles. They are among the most burglary-resistant window handles on the Polish building hardware market. They are available in classic and keyed variants. The locking element effectively blocks the possibility of manipulation from the outside. Even when the handle is turned, you can hear the operation of a special security mechanism, which is not found in other handles.

Complementing the classic balcony and window handles are the so-called smoker's handles. Balcony catches are a convenient form of closing balcony doors from the outside. Balcony latch is a functional accessory that will allow you to close the window for the time you are on the terrace, loggia or balcony. In the summer, closing the balcony door from the outside makes it difficult for insects such as mosquitoes and bees to enter the apartment, and allows you to keep the room at a constant temperature when you use air conditioning in it. In winter, it helps to keep the house from cooling down and will prevent unpleasant odors from, for example, cigarette smoke from getting inside.

Among the numerous models, we can also find window handles in a variety of colors in a wide range of finishes. Popular colors such as white, gray, brown, black, anthracite, silver, aluminum, steel, chrome, gold, old gold, patina, brass, copper (rose gold) in matte, metallic, full gloss and satin are very popular among customers. Deciding on such an extensive form of assortment in the sparta.com.pl store, we want to provide our customers with as many comprehensive solutions as possible. We always offer attractive prices and fast shipping on Polish territory and abroad.

Are window handles universal products?

European window handles have standardized dimensions and stems. The spacing of fixing screws is always 43 mm, in the set with the handle you will find a mandrel with a width of 7x7 mm. The length of the stem, on the other hand, can have an additional adjustment - so it will fit almost any door thickness. If the handle will not have such an adjustment, and we want to see what kind of mandrel was used in our window, unscrew the old handle and measure its length. Window handles very rarely have a specific side of operation - we should pay attention to whether the handle is left or right when they are handles for windows with a key. On the other hand, external dimensions or shapes can vary.
