Window Hinges for uPVC, Timber & Aluminium – Friction, Stormproof & Rustic
Choose high-performance window hinges for smooth operation and long service life.

Available for delivery to London, Manchester, Birmingham and across the UK.
Friction Hinges for Windows
Specify friction hinges (also called adjustable friction stays) to hold the sash at a set position without a separate stay. Top hung suits outward ventilation, bottom hung provides secure tilt-in airflow, and egress hinges open wider to support fire-escape requirements on suitable windows.
Stormproof & Rustic Window Hinges
Stormproof window hinges are designed for rebated (overlapping) casement sashes to help maintain a tight weather seal—useful for exposed and coastal sites. For heritage projects, rustic hinges complement period joinery and pair neatly with coordinated door furniture.

Selecting the Right Window Hinges
Friction, Stormproof & Rustic Hinges – UK Buyer’s Guide
Friction hinges for windows deliver controlled opening without a separate stay. Use top hung friction hinges for outward ventilation in kitchens and bathrooms, bottom hung friction hinges for secure tilt-in airflow and easy cleaning, and egress window hinges where a wider opening supports fire-escape requirements. For rebated casements, stormproof window hinges help maintain a tight weather seal and reduce draughts in exposed and coastal settings. Restoring a cottage or period home? Rustic hinges pair well with timber sashes and traditional finishes.
For a complete specification, explore Window Furniture, Architectural Ironmongery and Accessories.
Practical considerations: hinge length and stack height, sash weight, frame material (uPVC, timber, aluminium), safety features (restrictors, easy-clean), and corrosion resistance (including coastal-grade stainless).
