What types of hinges are used in windows?
Depending on the type of window and the way it is opened, different types of hinges are used. Here are some commonly used types of hinges in windows:
Casement hinges: This is the most common type of hinge used in windows. Casement hinges are mounted on the side edges of the window sash and allow the window to be opened and closed sideways. They can be used both in windows opened on the frame (inwards or outwards) and in windows opened with a tilt.
Sliding hinges: This type of hinges is used in sliding windows, where the sash slides along the guides. Sliding hinges allow the window to slide smoothly and easily along the tracks, which facilitates operation and saves space.
Tilt and turn hinges: This type of hinges is used in tilt and turn windows that can be opened on the frame (outside or inward) and tilted on the frame to the ventilation position. Tilt and turn hinges allow for flexible use of the window, enabling both full opening and tilting the sash.
Hidden hinges: This is a type of hinges that are mounted inside the window frame and sash, which makes them invisible from the outside. Concealed hinges give the windows a modern look and can be used in various types of windows, such as those opened on the frame, tilt or sliding.
All-round hinges: This type of hinges is used in windows where the sash rests on the entire edge of the frame. All-round hinges ensure stable and even support of the sash, which affects the comfort of operation and the tightness of the window.
The type of hinges used in windows depends on preferences, type of window and aesthetic and functional requirements.
