Our standard range of window handles are available in an inline our cranked format and a have a classic design with a contemporary twist to create an elegant and stylish window handle. This makes them the perfect choice for all styles of Casement Windows.
An inline handle is a straight, symmetrical window handle that aligns directly with the spindle and the locking mechanism of the window. It sits flush against the window frame, offering a sleek and minimalistic appearance. Because of its compact design, it is ideal for modern window styles and situations where space is limited around the frame.
Inline handles are commonly used on flush sash and contemporary casement windows, providing a clean and uniform aesthetic.
A cranked or offset handle is designed with an angled or offset shape that projects slightly away from the window frame. This ergonomic design makes the handle easier to grip and operate, particularly when used on side-hung or top-hung casement windows. The offset allows for more hand clearance, which is useful if the window is set into a deep reveal or positioned in a tight space. Cranked handles are often preferred where accessibility and ease of use are important, without compromising on style.
Our premium Heritage range of classic window handles have elegant styling and have nine classic and modern finishes to choose from. Available in both Monkey Tail and Pear Drop designs and in both left and right-handed options, the new handles are the perfect option for homeowners who want a traditionally styled sculptured, chamfered, or flush sash window.
Our Heritage Black and Pewter finishes feature a traditional textured finish.
A teardrop handle is a traditionally styled window handle featuring a smooth, curved shape that tapers to a rounded point, resembling a teardrop. It combines classic aesthetics with modern functionality, making it a popular choice for heritage-style or timber-effect windows. Teardrop handles are often used on flush sash or timber-look casement windows to evoke a period charm while maintaining ease of use. They can be fitted with modern locking mechanisms, offering a blend of vintage design and contemporary security.
A monkey tail handle is inspired by historic wrought iron window furniture and features a long, elegant curled end that resembles the tail of a monkey. This style is commonly associated with period properties and adds a highly decorative touch to traditional or heritage-style windows. Monkey tail handles are ideal for timber windows or timber-effect uPVC systems where authenticity and character are priorities. Despite their vintage appearance, modern versions are available with secure locking systems, offering the charm of yesteryear with the reliability of today’s standards.
