The handle is able to turn them all at once when it is being used. The handles are made of metal and have a shaft that is inserted into a gearbox inside the window.

Whether you are looking to replace your current uPVC window handle or are installing new uPVC windows, it's important to know the distinctions between cockspur and espag handles to make sure that you buy the right replacement for your windows. Cockspur handles are usually used on older models of double glazed windows, while espag handles are typical for modern homes with uPVC windows. The espag differs from the cockspur in that it is fitted with an rod called an espagnolette (a flat strip of metal) that runs across the locking side of a window. This is then fitted with round studs referred to as mushrooms that move up and down when the espagnolette handle is moved. The mushrooms are then stowed in a metal plate referred to as a keep that is attached to the window frame. Tilt and Turn Tilt-and turn windows offer European design, improved functionality, and improved security with energy efficiency. They are the perfect solution for builders and homeowners looking to add value to their properties or homes. These windows feature a dual-function handle that allows them to be opened as a door and tilted inwards to allow for ventilation. They also make an excellent escape point in case of emergency and are suitable for bedrooms because they let you open them wide enough to allow for egress. Tilt and turn windows are easy to use and look great in various designs for homes and buildings. They also have a range of features not available in other window types, including different opening configurations and bars for more traditional designs and a variety of materials and finishes. They can also be painted to match any color or style you desire. When the window is shut, it is locked. When the handle is set vertically up, the sash tilts to the left approximately 20 degrees. This is a comfortable and efficient method of ventilation, since it provides air exchange through the opening at the top. To turn window handles , the handle is rotated until it is at 90 degrees angle to the lock position. The sash will open inwards and is secured by hinges at the bottom. This allows windows to be opened in a more expansive way to let in light and air. Tilt and turn windows are also a great alternative for those with small children or pets since they can be opened from the bottom, preventing them to fall out of the window. The hinge at the bottom prevents them being opened too far and therefore they can't be broken by burglars. They are also an excellent choice for those who want to lower their heating costs and increase energy efficiency as they provide a good level of thermal insulation. This is achieved by using a multi-chamber profile and double or triple glazing.
