The process of selecting and fitting upvc window replacement hinges isn't as complicated as you may think. Make sure the hinges' arrows are facing the correct direction and determine the thickness of the hinge arms on the opening frame (13mm or 17mm).

There are many different kinds of hinges, each having their distinct characteristics. This article will review the most popular types of uPVC window hinges, and their benefits.

Egress/Easy Clean Hinge

These windows are an excellent choice for replacing or upgrading your fire escape safety window as they open to a full 90-degree angle. They can be closed to a 'easy-clean' position, allowing you to access the outside of windows without having to climb ladders or lean over dangerous angles.

Yale is one of the most reputable and well-known brands in the home security industry. They work with all kinds of uPVC side-hung windows. By pressing a small button the window sash can be slid to the side and into the position that is easy to clean. When the sash is closed, it will automatically return to its initial position.

They are available in both 13mm and 17mm stack heights. Depending on the size of your window we recommend using our Egress Selection Guide to determine which one is the best fit for your needs.

These hinges are designed to be used with a standard side-hung frame which is made of aluminum or uPVC. The friction screw is used to adjust the resistance. This allows for easier opening of the window and reduces the risk of an accidental closure during high winds. They have been tested to over 30000 cycles and are in compliance with BBA/Secured by Design and British Standards approved BS EN 13126-6:2008.

The Nico Egress Easy Clean friction hinge is simple to use and has no buttons or catch. It offers a convenient and secure solution for emergency exits and cleaning. First, open the window to the egress (full opening) position, and then press the hinge retaining clip that is located on the inner side of the bottom corner. This will open the bottom and top catches which will allow you to move the sash back into the clean position. Close the window once you have the sash in an easy-cleaning position. This will reset the hinges to their egress positions.

Fire-Escape Hinge

Fire Escape Hinges, often known as "Easy Clean" hinges are used to replace side-opening windows to allow egress (fire safety) reasons. These types of hinges open wider and faster than conventional hinges to provide a large clear opening to escape in the event of a fire. This type of hinge is legal in any room that has windows, according to building regulations.

The windows feature an elongated friction that permits them to open to 90 degrees. They also allow the opening sash to slide over the glass when it is opened, allowing for simple cleaning without the need to use ladders. The hinges have no fiddly buttons or catches, and are operated by an easy, secure lever that can be accessed from the inside of your home.

The hinges are manufactured in the UK by Cotswold and come complete with a child safety restraint for day to day use that can be reverted by a hidden button, giving you peace of mind that your children will not accidentally open the window too far. They are available in 13mm and 17mm stack heights.

Take a measurement of the length of the side-hung window hinge that is fixed to the frame. (See the guide on measuring the size of Upvc window hinges). Select the proper size hinge from the options below.

Note that this measurement is taken at the part of the hinge that attaches to the frame and not the sash. The actual hinge length may be shorter or longer depending on how your windows were originally made. When deciding the width of the hinge, the majority of frames made of upvc can accommodate with a height of 13mm, but if your old window frame is 17mm, you should select this option. You can also install the 4mm packer to make up for the difference. All hinges are supplied with two hands (1 left and 1 right). Screws are not included with the hinges. If needed, they can be purchased separately. We recommend using our Upvc window hinge repair screws. These screws are designed to enhance your hinges' performance and allow them to operate efficiently for a longer. They come with a lower friction design and a more durable weather seal, which includes a nylon reducer cap.

Restricted Hinge

There are times when a window needs to fully open and this can be difficult with hinges that are standard. The restricted child safety friction hinges can help overcome this problem and are a great solution when ventilation is required but access to clean up or escape in the event of fire isn't possible. They function by limiting the amount of sash that can open and allowing the override of this restriction with the push of a button. They are available in 13mm and 17mm stack heights. They are suitable for both side and top hung windows.

The Nico Restricted Egress Friction Hinge blends the characteristics of a standard restrictor with an escape hinge to offer an efficient and easy way to meet building regulations. It is suitable for both side hung and top opening uPVC windows and comes in 13mm and 17mm stack heights. It is offered as a pair of hinges where one hinge is the restricted egress and the other unrestricted allowing one of these to be placed at the bottom of the sash whilst the other is attached to the top.

These uPVC restricting hinges have been tested to BS6375 part 2 and are designed to be used on windows that cannot be fully opened such as a small children's bedroom. The mechanism limits how far the sash can open to 100mm in a safe distance and then re-engages when the window is shut.

When replacing a hinge on a window, it is important to measure the length of the existing hinge so that you can purchase replacements that are similar in size. The easiest way to accomplish this is by looking at the hinge in the image gallery and determining the location you would like it to be placed. The top hung hinges can only be placed on one side, whereas the side hung ones can only be put on one side.

Standard Hinge

A standard hinge uses metal-to-metal contact and no extra parts to decrease friction. It is available in a variety of finishes, and is fire-rated. To quickly determine the radius of hinges, lay it out flat and align a quarter and dime in two corners. If the quarter fits better, then the corner should be turned to 5/8 inches.
