Product Description

Tired of stiff, noisy window hinges that rust, sag or simply stop holding?
Replace them with our heavy-duty stainless steel friction stays – built for smooth, silent operation and long‑lasting durability in any British weather.

Key Features

• Rustproof Stainless Steel – The entire hinge assembly is made from AISI 201 stainless steel. It resists corrosion, wipes clean with water and won’t weaken even in damp or coastal conditions.
• Strong & Secure – A five-link design reinforced with steel rivets handles window weights up to 29kg (on 12" model). Your windows stay firmly open exactly where you want them, without sagging.
• Buttery Smooth Operation – The high‑strength nylon slide runs quietly along the track. No grinding, no squeaking – just effortless opening and closing every time.
• Adjustable Friction – A small screw lets you fine‑tune the hinge resistance to match your window’s weight. Set it tight for exposed windows or looser for lighter sashes.
• Fits Left or Right Windows – The symmetrical “top‑head” design makes these hinges truly universal. No need to guess which side you need – simply install them in the correct orientation and they work perfectly.

Where They’re Used

Ideal for replacing worn or broken friction stays on uPVC, aluminium and timber casement windows.
Perfect for living rooms, kitchens, conservatories, bathrooms or any room where you want smooth, draught‑free window operation.

Please measure your old hinges before ordering. A good rule: the hinge’s total length should be roughly two‑thirds of the visible frame width. Also check that your frame slot depth is less than the hinge base height and the slot width is at least the hinge base width – otherwise the hinge may not fit.

Installation Tip
For the most accurate fit, remove one old hinge with the sash and measure its overall length, slot dimensions and fixing hole positions. Our hinges are designed as direct replacements for standard UK uPVC profiles, but we always recommend a dry fit before final screwing.

Package Contents

• 1 pair (2 hinges) of stainless steel friction stays – screws not included
  (Please reuse your existing fixings or obtain suitable self‑tapping screws for your frame material.)
