Practical Guidance for Modern Casement Windows

When to Choose Carlisle Brass Espagnolette Window Furniture

Carlisle Brass Espagnolette Window Furniture is a smart upgrade when you want security and smooth operation without changing the overall look of the windows. Multi-point espag locking is often chosen for refurbishments because it improves compliance with current security expectations for homes and commercial properties.

These handles are especially useful when:

Older windows need better sealing to cut draughts and noise.
A property requires safer, key-locking handles for ground-floor rooms.
A mix of uPVC, aluminium and timber windows need a consistent hardware finish.
You want simple long-term maintenance with readily available replacements.

Quick compatibility guidance:

Espag handles are used on outward-opening casement windows.
A spindle on the back connects into the locking gearbox inside the sash.
It is worth matching style and finish to nearby door and cabinet hardware.

Explore the Carlisle Brass range for every window type:

Left Hand Espag. Handles – suited to left-hand operation on matching casements.
