Why You Should Replace Your uPVC Window Handles

A quick, easy & cost-effective way of transforming your UPVC windows.

Whilst not for everyone, uPVC windows do have their benefits. They are cost effective, wont warp and will save on heating bills. Most uPVC windows are supplied with cheap plastic handles as standard and you can transform the entire look of your window simply by replacing them with quality ironmongery. Better still, many people don’t realise that you can order your windows without hardware and source your own ironmongery later.

Our range of window espagnolette handles are designed to fit standard lock types and can easily be fitted to most uPVC windows. The collection is available in a variety of traditional finishes and will instantly give your windows a quality, classic feel.
