The Wisdom of Window Hardware: From Everyday Use to Strict Standards

1.The wonderful uses of window hardware in daily life

Window hardware - those small components that we often overlook - is actually an indispensable hidden hero in home life. They not only offer basic functions but also have many unexpected and ingenious uses.

The multi-functional role of the window handle:

Window handles are far more than just tools for opening and closing Windows. In an emergency, the hard metal handle can serve as a temporary safety hammer. In the kitchen, the hook-type handle can temporarily hang light kitchen utensils. For families with children, the detachable handle can also serve as a temporary safety measure to prevent young children from opening Windows at will.

The hidden potential of hinges:

Hinges not only connect the window sash to the window frame, but their sturdy metal material can also be used as miniature brackets when necessary. Especially the exposed hinges of old-fashioned Windows, after being cleaned up, can even become creative hanging points for small potted plants. More importantly, the adjusting function of the hinges can solve the problem of window misalignment caused by house settlement, avoiding the need for expensive overall replacement.

The ingenious application of pulley systems:

The smooth experience brought by high-quality window pulleys is itself an improvement in the quality of life. But its value does not end there - the smooth pulley system can significantly reduce the force required to open the window, making it particularly friendly to the elderly and children. Some innovative designs also allow Windows to remain at any position, achieving precise ventilation risk control.

2. What standards should window hardware products meet?

High-quality window hardware must meet multiple strict standards, which are directly related to safety, durability and user experience.

Safety standards

Load-bearing capacity: The hardware must be capable of withstanding more than 1.5 times the maximum weight of the window sash

Fall prevention design: Especially for high-rise buildings, multiple fall prevention mechanisms must be in place

Child safety lock: Complies with international child safety standards to prevent accidental opening

Performance standards

Durability test: Usually, it needs to undergo more than 20,000 opening and closing tests without any faults

Corrosion resistance: Passed salt spray tests to ensure long-term use under various climatic conditions

Operating force standard: The force required to open and close the window should not exceed 50N to ensure easy operation

Environmental standards

Airtightness: In coordination with Windows, it meets national energy-saving standards and reduces energy loss

Water tightness: Prevents water from seeping in under strong wind and rain conditions

Sound insulation performance: High-quality hardware can enhance the overall sound insulation effect of Windows by more than 30%

Material standard

Metal material: The main load-bearing components should be made of stainless steel of grade 304 or above or high-strength aluminum alloy

Surface treatment: The coating should pass the weather resistance test to ensure it does not fade or peel off over a long period of time

Environmental protection requirements: Comply with RoHS standards and free of harmful heavy metal substances

3. Degol Window Hardware: An outstanding choice that meets all standards

Among numerous window hardware brands, Degol stands out with its performance that fully complies with and exceeds industry standards.

All-round standard compliance

Degol products strictly adhere to international and domestic standard systems such as GB/T, ISO, and ANSI/AAMA. Each product undergoes 12 strict inspection procedures before leaving the factory, including extreme load test, accelerated aging test and actual environment simulation test. All load-bearing components of Degol are made of 316 stainless steel, which has a corrosion resistance that is over 40% higher than that of ordinary 304 stainless steel.

Innovation surpasses standards

Degol not only meets existing standards but also sets new benchmarks through innovation:

Intelligent hardware system: Integrated with micro-sensors, it can monitor the status of Windows and be linked with the smart home system

Self-lubricating technology: Utilizing high-molecular self-lubricating materials, it ensures no additional maintenance is required within 10 years

Universal compatible design: One set of hardware system can be adapted to various window types, greatly simplifying the installation and replacement process

User Experience-oriented design

Degol deeply understands that hardware ultimately serves people. Its products are ergonomically designed, and the operating force is carefully calculated. It offers a variety of surface treatment options, ranging from classic metallic to modern matte black, to meet different aesthetic needs. More importantly, Degol has established a complete product traceability system, where each component can be traced back to the production batch, ensuring worry-free long-term use.

Although window hardware is small, it shoulders multiple missions such as safety, comfort and aesthetics. Choosing a professional product like Degol that fully complies with standards not only enhances the convenience of daily life but also provides a guarantee for home security and long-term investment. When renovating or replacing Windows, paying more attention to these "small parts" often brings unexpected "big returns".
