A 15mm backset for a uPVC sliding espag means it’s designed to fit into specific uPVC sliding window and door profiles that accommodate this particular backset. This is a common backset size for many uPVC sliding systems, especially for doors, as it often allows for more robust locking mechanisms within the profile compared to narrower backsets.
Key Features of uPVC Sliding Espags with 15mm Backset:
Profile Compatibility: Designed to integrate perfectly with uPVC sliding profiles that have a 15mm backset channel for the espag rod.
Multi-Point Locking: Provides enhanced security by engaging multiple locking points (cams, hooks, or a combination) into corresponding keeps on the fixed frame. This significantly increases resistance against forced entry.
Improved Compression & Sealing: When engaged, the espag pulls the sliding sash tightly against the frame, creating a better seal against weather elements (wind, rain, dust) and improving thermal/acoustic insulation.
Various Lengths: Available in a range of lengths to suit different window and door heights. Common lengths can range from 400mm up to 2200mm or more, often increasing in increments of 200mm.
Locking Point Types: Can include mushroom cams, roller cams, or hooks, depending on the specific espag design and required security level. Door espags often feature more robust hooks.
Handle Operation: Operated by a suitable handle (often a D-handle or a recessed/flush handle for sliding systems) that turns a spindle to activate the locking points.
Durable Materials: Typically made from robust, corrosion-resistant materials like zinc-plated steel or stainless steel for long-lasting performance.
