Fit for purpose
Window fittings need to be strong and well crafted to meet the demands of regular use and ease of operation, but that does not mean that style has to be neglected. Finishing touches make the world of difference and a modern, angular fastener on a quaint cottage window would look all wrong.
If buying replacement windows, fittings will be chosen and ordered at the same time. Material, colour, design and security level are all factors to take into consideration. But often there is a need to buy fittings separately, perhaps for a change of decor or to reinstate period features into a home.
Window hardware is supplied in brass, stainless or forged steel, polished or satin chrome, bronze, black or white finishes. Many fasteners and stays for contemporary homes will include key locks and this facility can also be found on some replica period fittings.
