uPVC Hinge

A multi-point friction hinge used on casement windows and door panels made from uPVC. uPVC hinges can corrode, seize, or lose friction over time, causing windows to sag, fail to open or close properly, or drop out of the frame. Replacing individual hinges or adjusting the friction settings is usually a straightforward repair that avoids the need to replace the entire window.
