Handles and hardware
Everything that lets a sash swing and hold shut is bought by load, not by looks. A wide leaf carrying a thick glazing unit hangs on its hinges every hour of every year, and a kilometre from the water that same mechanism sits in salt-laden air. We size the set against the sash before the profile is cut, so the handle — the only part anyone actually touches — is the last decision rather than the first.
- surface or concealed hinges
- multi-point locking
- lockable, child-safe handle versions
Why choose aluminium windows?
-
Durable EPDM seals
Three contours of EPDM seals keep the glass off the aluminium and close the gap between sash and frame, so dust, humid salt air and wind-driven rain stay outside.

Foamed thermal inserts
Foamed inserts fill the profile chambers and stop air circulating inside them, so less outside heat and street noise passes through the frame into the cooled room.

Polyamide thermal breaks
Glass-filled polyamide thermal breaks up to 40 mm wide keep the outer and inner shells apart, so the frame holds its shape and its insulation through a UAE summer.

Energy-efficient double glazing
Double glazing up to 60 mm thick puts a sealed gap of still air or gas between the hot street and the cooled room, so less heat crosses the glass into the room.

How the hardware is specified
- Sash size and glazing weight calculated Before any profile is cut
- Hinge type settled with the opening direction Concealed hinges on request
- Locking points set around the perimeter More points on tall sashes
- Corrosion grade matched to the location Coastal towers take the higher grade
- Handle finish matched to the frame Or deliberately contrasted with it
- Everything adjusted after installation Re-adjustment can be arranged later

The honest downside
When extra hardware adds more than it solves
More mechanism means more to look after. Multi-point locking runs cams and keeps around the whole frame, and fine dust worked into them is what makes a handle stiff; a tall sash with many points needs adjusting more often than a small one with few. Coastal-grade parts slow corrosion near the sea but do not stop it, and they still want rinsing.
Hardware also cannot make up for the profile it sits on. New locking points or a heavier handle on an old or thin frame add little if the frame itself flexes, and a sash sagging because the profile is worn will not be cured by new hinges alone.
Where a window is almost never opened, a fixed window needs no hardware at all and seals better, with a small opening sash beside it for air. Full multi-point hardware earns its place on large sashes, on the ground floor and wherever a window is opened every day.

Frequently asked questions
The calculation happens before the order, not after the complaint. Hinge sets are rated to a leaf weight, and that weight follows from the pane size and the glazing build — a laminated unit on a tall casement is a completely different load from a single pane in a bathroom window. Our engineer works it out at survey. Where the figure lands near the top of a set's range we either step up to the next set or split the opening into two sashes; nothing here is decided by eye.
They buy you a look and cost you some access. With the sash shut you see an unbroken frame line, which matters on slim profiles and dark finishes where surface hinges read as an interruption. In exchange the mechanism lives inside the rebate, so adjustment takes longer, and the choice has to be made at the drawing stage — you cannot swap a surface hinge for a concealed one later without replacing the sash it sits in.
It goes for the small parts long before it touches the coated profile: screws, cams, springs, the mechanism inside a handle. Two things hold it off. One is a corrosion grade specified for coastal exposure when the set is ordered, which suits sea-front towers and beachside villas and is unnecessary on an inland villa. The other is rinsing the visible metal with fresh water whenever the glass is cleaned.
Usually not. Stiffness is often dust worked into the gear or a sash that has dropped a fraction on its hinges, and both are adjustment jobs rather than replacements. On windows we manufactured and installed, we can arrange the adjustment. If the windows came from another contractor, we refer you to windowrepair.ae, the repair company in our group.
