Top hung windows are windows that swing open from the bottom and are hinged at the top. This style of uPVC window needs to have enough friction on the hinge so that the window will stay open. But, not too much friction so it’s difficult to open. A common issue on top hung windows is that they swing shut because the hinges are too loose to keep them open.
Top hung windows have hinges with a friction stay. The friction stay can be tightened or loosened on the hinge and this applies or releases pressure to hold the window open or to loosen the window hinge.
To adjust a top hung window, you need to locate the friction stay on the hinge and adjust the screws in the right direction.
