Tilt and turn

Tilt and turn windows are a premium European window style that has been around for decades in Europe, but is only getting noticed in the US.

This is a great solution to let air circulate without the need to open a large window which could pose a safety danger if not properly secured when opening.

Spade

Some cockspur handles, for instance, are angled whereas others are straight, and can be turned left or right. You should also know what the spindle's length is, which is the distance from the base of the handle to the top of the handle.

Another aspect to consider when choosing the right handle is knowing whether your windows require a restrictor or not. They are usually used in high-rise flats or commercial structures, but are not required for domestic homes. Also, consider step height which is the distance from the bottom of the screw plate to the apex of the handle.
