While Parrett’s traditional inswing casements are available without pushbars, incorporating pushbars does allow for enhanced stability and wind resistance when the window is in the open position. Additionally, historic replication projects may require pushbars.
The hardware listed on this page has been time-tested by Parrett and provides smooth operation.
Typically a casement with historic pushbars will have a pushbar at the sill for each sash in the window unit.
The finishes below area available for the hardware shown on this page. Parrett also offers custom plating solutions and other hardware finishes, contact us at info@parrettwindows.com for more information.
Polished Lacquered Brass (PB) - The standard finish for most items.
Polished Unlacquered Brass (PBNL) - This finish, though bright when new, will tarnish quickly through use and exposure, to a natural antique finish.
Oil Rubbed Bronze (OB) - A rich, deep, brown finish, produced by oxidation of the brass metal, and protected by a matte lacquer. Over time the areas of the hardware exposed to wear will become lighter and more polished by use, resulting in the appearance of antique bronze.
Satin Nickel (SN) - This finish is produced by lightly polishing a dull nickel plating with a fine abrasive brush. The result is a clean, functional look, not unlike pewter or brushed stainless steel.
Polished Nickel (PN) - This is a smooth, rich, and highly polished finish, often found on high quality bathroom fixtures. Polished nickel has a warmer appearance when compared to chrome plating.
While the above selections are Parrett's standard specification, the pushbar found below has also been used extensively. Of course, we can also source additional and/or custom pushbars.
