ARTICLE NO.82|Comparison of concealed window friction stay hinges to other common hinge types in terms of performance and cost
Performance Comparison:
Concealed Window Friction Stay Hinges:
- Provide smooth, controlled opening and closing of windows
- Offer adjustable friction to accommodate different window weights and sizes
- Remain concealed when the window is closed, maintaining a clean, streamlined look
- Durable construction with long lifespan, typically 10-20 years of reliable use
Exposed Butt Hinges:
- Simple, inexpensive hinge design
- Less smooth operation compared to friction stays
- Visible when the window is closed, impacting aesthetic
- May require more maintenance over time as they are exposed to the elements
Pivot Hinges:
- Allow windows to swing open in a more dramatic, 90-degree motion
- Provide excellent weight distribution and support for larger, heavier windows
- More complex installation compared to friction stays
- Concealed design options available, but generally more expensive
Cost Comparison:
Concealed Window Friction Stay Hinges:
- Moderate to high-end price point, typically $20-$50 per hinge
- Cost reflects the engineering and manufacturing required for the concealed, adjustable design
Exposed Butt Hinges:
- Very low-cost, often less than $5 per hinge
- Inexpensive and simple design makes them a budget-friendly option
Pivot Hinges:
- High-end price point, $50-$150+ per hinge
- Premium pricing due to the specialized engineering and heavy-duty construction
In summary, concealed window friction stay hinges strike a balance between performance and cost, offering smooth operation, adjustability, and a clean aesthetic at a moderate price point. Exposed butt hinges are the most economical option, while pivot hinges provide the highest level of performance but at a significantly higher cost. The specific needs of the project, including window size, weight, and desired appearance, will determine the most appropriate hinge type.
