The Mila 16 inch Standard Replacement Friction Stay is designed for homeowners and contractors needing a reliable, heavy-duty replacement for worn or damaged uPVC window hinges. It excels in providing smooth, controlled operation for both top and side-hung windows with a proven lifespan of 50,000 cycles, though users must carefully verify their existing stack height and track width to ensure a perfect fit before purchase.

Measure the distance from the base of the track to the top of the hinge arm when the window is in the closed position.
Yes, this hinge is designed to be used for both top-hung and side-hung uPVC window applications.
Friction stays are typically replaced in pairs to ensure even tension and wear; please check your order quantity.
No, this product is specifically engineered for uPVC window profiles.
This means the hinge has been mechanically tested to open and close 50,000 times without failing or losing its friction setting.
Adjust the friction screw located on the track to increase resistance.
Check that the hinge is correctly aligned and the mounting screws are fully tightened.
Clean the track of paint, debris, or dried-out grease and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant.
To install, first ensure the window sash is fully supported before removing the old hinge. Measure your current track width to ensure it matches the standard Mila specification. Use the provided packers if your profile requires a 17mm stack height; otherwise, mount directly for a 13mm configuration. To maintain performance, clean the track of any debris or dust during the installation process. Periodically wipe the friction track with a dry cloth and apply a light silicone-based lubricant to keep the movement smooth, avoiding heavy oils that may attract grit.
