Our 3 step guide below will help you choose exactly the correct hinge for your window…

HANG TYPE
Is your window Top Hung or Side Hung?

HINGE LENGTH
Measured to the closest inch e.g. 12″
-
STACK HEIGHT
13mm or 17mm (Not able to measure your stack height? Read below…)
NOT ABLE TO MEASURE YOUR STACK HEIGHT?
If you are unable to measure the stack height of the hinge then you can purchase some stack packer caps. The caps simply clip on the hinge and convert the hinge from a 13mm stack to a 17mm stack. We recommend fitting 3 packers per hinge (so a pair of hinges would require 6 packer caps).
