Nico Side Hung Window Hinge 16” 414mm Standard Friction Stay

Window hinges that are working well will keep your window sealed and help eliminate cold air and breezes.  When your window hinges are strained, damaged and not in optimal condition there will be a gap at the edge of your window, between the sash and the frame allowing not only cold to come in but your expensive and precious heat to leak out costing you hundreds of euro per year extra in heating.

Side hung window hinges are fixed to the top and bottom of the window with the hinges in the inside of the sash closing and securing the sash to the frame.  When a hinge is jamming, stiff or hard to open or close it is time to change them, you may see s gap in the inside corner of your window sash where the sash is not sealing up tight to the frame, this causes draughts and allows cold air to come in the window, which also allows all your warm air to escape and leak outside.
