Window Stay Hinges: Stability, Safety, and Durability

Window stay hinges primarily serve to support and position windows and doors, playing a crucial role in ensuring their functionality. As a load-bearing component, they not only support the weight of the window sash but also provide benefits such as stabilizing the opening and closing of the window, limiting the opening angle, and offering high corrosion resistance, all of which enhance the performance of the window.

Choosing Window Stay Hinges

Window stay hinges must be rust-resistant, as rust can affect the smoothness of movement, reduce the mechanical performance of the stay, and eventually lead to breakage.

To ensure good rust resistance, it is recommended to select stainless steel material. Additionally, the thickness of the window stay hinge also affects its load-bearing capacity. When the window sash is heavy, it is best to choose a stay with a thickness of 2.5mm or more.

When selecting window stay hinges, the length of the stay should generally be at least 2/3 of the window width, and if the window is light, it can be 1/2. For top-hung windows, the length of the stay is typically 1/2 of the window height.

Installation Requirements for Window Stay Hinges

Use screws or bolts reasonably according to the actual situation. It is recommended to use countersunk screws in places with countersinks, while places like the sliding tracks or areas without countersinks should use pan-head screws. Correct use of screws ensures the firm and reliable installation of the window stay hinge.

Ensure that the window stay hinge is tightly connected to both the window sash and window frame, with no looseness. All screw holes must be properly screwed in; missing even one screw will affect the load-bearing capacity of the stay.

When installing the window stay hinge, ensure that the distance between the window frame and sash is the same as the stacking height of the stay, which is typically around 16.5mm. Different series and specifications may have different stacking heights. The selected screw length must ensure it can penetrate the corresponding steel reinforcement in the profile. It is important to note that only plastic windows have steel reinforcements, while aluminum windows do not.
