Window Friction Stay Hinges

A friction stay hinge is a mechanism that helps to control the position of a window. Whether open or closed, the friction stay will ensure it remains where it is placed without offering too much resistance when being used. Getting the balance right is vital – too weak, and the window will start to swing freely and may be moved by elements such as a strong wind. Too strong, and the window will become increasingly tough to open and close.

There are various styles of friction stays. First of all, you’ll need to confirm whether your project’s new windows will be top-hung or side-hung, as this determines the type of hardware needed. If you need any advice or recommendations on which kind of friction stays your project will require, don’t hesitate to get in touch and our team will be happy to help.

Friction Stay Styles

Your standard friction stay hinge will be set to a typical maximum opening angle that gives the user freedom to ventilate the space without compromising the effectiveness of the window unit. These can be used on an extensive selection of different window models. If there are any safety concerns, you can opt for restricted friction stays which will only open to a modest degree, limiting the space in the threshold.

Alternatively, should the conditions be appropriate, egress friction stays can allow the installation to be opened fully as the arm slides along the stay. This will enable windows to be used as emergency exits, and will also assist in the cleaning of the glass from inside and outside. We offer a broad range of different friction stays which are perfect for any window project.
