Mila Egress Fire Escape Friction Hinge Stay (Pair) Side Hung

For windows with the handle on the left or right hand side, these can be UPVC, aluminium or timber.

These special Fire Egress hinges will give you an easy escape route in the event of a fire when used correctly on a side hung window. The hinges (16") open to almost 90° (88° deg) for easy egress and allows casement windows (dependent upon size) to satisfy the egress requirements of Document B of the Building Regulations (the 10" hinge opens to 80°). For emergency egress any window should have an unobstructed openable area that is at least 0.33m square and at least 450mm high and 450mm wide.

1 x Pair Fire Egress Side Hung Friction Window Hinges

How should I measure my hinges?

A: First you need to establish the hanging type, do you require a top or side hung hinge? (N. B. These hinges are available in side hung only)

B: Then you need to take your first measurement - this is the actual length of the hinge. You will need to measure the part that fixes to the window frame (not sash), please see the diagram showing where the hinge length measurements are taken from.

C: The second measurement is that of the hinge width i.e. the width of the metal part that fixes to the outer frame. (Almost all window hinges will measure 18mm in width, but with windows that are very old the measurement could be 14mm and if this is the case this hinge will not unfortunately, fit.)

D: The final measurement that you need is the Stack Height, this measurement is the height of the hinge when closed, please see diagram. Stack heights come in two sizes 13mm or 17mm, so even if you are unsure you can usually calculate which is correct because of the 4mm difference.

Very smooth hinges, compatible with Planet uPVC windows. The holes are in a different place so fresh fittings can be installed. Opens wide for escape use.

Had a window which had a gap when closed. Was able to find the correct (egress) type hinge at JCP easily and pleasantly surprised that deliver to Northern Ireland was free. Item arrived quickly and fitted correctly to the frame. Action is much smoother than old hinge and there is no gap now so no draughts and a quieter room. Time will tell how this one wears but does seem decent quality. Was able to fit in around an hr and a half as a fussy DIY'er. Would use again.
