We have a kitchen window which (unusually IMHO) has hinges on either
side, so I guess they would be side hung

Sorry to add to my own post but some kind chap has emailed* me to say
that if the friction hinges attach to the SIDE and the window pivots
about the TOP, then it is TOP hung that I want. If so, this seems
counerintuitive to me because I thought the top or side bit refered to
where you fitted them not perpendicular to where you fit them.

*not to the above address which is a spamtrap

I suspect (but only suspect) the difference is due to top hung windows
tending to self close under their weight, thus requiring different hinges to
side hung windows which don't and this fits your email correspondent's view.
But that's just an observation!
