Professional Window Maintenance with Versa Friction Hinges
Maintaining the smooth operation of your home windows can often feel like a complex task, especially when dealing with ageing hardware that no longer performs as it should. The Versa Retro-fit 16 inch friction hinge is engineered to address these common issues, providing a versatile solution that suits both top and side hung UPVC window configurations. By choosing a high quality replacement, you ensure that your windows remain secure and easy to operate throughout the year, effectively eliminating the frustration caused by sticking frames or sagging sashes.
One of the primary advantages of this specific hardware is its clever adaptability, which allows homeowners and trade professionals to transition seamlessly between 13mm and 17mm stack heights. This flexibility is supported by the inclusion of 4mm packers, making the installation process far more straightforward than with fixed size alternatives. Designed with precision and durability in mind, this product includes easy clean functionality as a standard feature, allowing you to access the external glass safely from inside your property.

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE
The Versa Retro-fit 16 inch friction hinge excels in everyday performance, providing smooth opening and closing motions that improve the longevity of your window seals. By ensuring consistent pressure across the sash, these hinges prevent draughts and reduce heat loss effectively.
For top hung windows, you can support a maximum width of 1200mm and a height of 750mm, while side hung configurations accommodate widths of 700mm and heights up to 1300mm. This versatility makes it an ideal choice for most standard domestic installations across the UK.
Important Operational Note
Ensure you calculate the total weight of your glass and frame before installation. The maximum weight capacity for top hung windows is 22kg, while side hung variants can support up to 26kg to ensure full stability.
