HINGE SOLUTION FOR ALL-GLASS DOOR

Glass doors provide greater visualisation, better perspective and genuine rays of light within modern interior decor and design. That’s why they are becoming increasingly popular in commercial, public and residential sectors. SIMONSWERK hinge systems for all-glass doors have recently contributed to the realisation of an extraordinary project.

Architect Ludwig Holzschuh has designed a house that is aligned with the sun in which the room-high interior doors are made from 12 millimetre thick glass and made to measure with black vertical wooden friezes.

SIMONSWERK aluminium letter plates, with satin brushed stainless steel effect, are designed to improve the safety of occupants and property against fire and smoke damage. This top quality robust letter plate is Certifire approved to BS476 Pt 20/22 and ideal for housing developments, apartment blocks and all individual homes.

The 300mm wide, high performance, 30 minute fire rated letter plate is recommended for use particularly in multiple occupancy buildings and is easy to fit using two through bolts.

THE "VARIANT" HINGE

SIMONSWERK have introduced their new VARIANT VX hinge system for the UK ironmongery market. This high performance adjustable hinge system, distinguished with CE rating, is now available with a narrower 18mm knuckle and allows problem free correct positioning of the door leaf. It also has a hinge system for all types of frames with 21 variations and is especially suitable for the heavy duty door sector.

VX hinges have been fitted throughout the new Gorilla Kingdom at London Zoo. More

To comply with requirements for door sets it is often necessary to fit a power supply from the door leaf to the frame. SIMONSWERK hinge designers have produced the solution by integrating the necessary conduit structure within their award winning Tectus fully concealed hinge system and supplying a retrofit cable set.

No additional cutting is required on the door leaf and frame ensuring the solution is hidden from view and therefore visually more attractive with lower fitting costs. The cable set accommodates an opening angle of up to 180º and is especially suitable for security and escape doors.

COMPLETELY CONCEALED HINGE SYSTEM

“TECTUS” – This Latin word for “concealed” signifies SIMONSWERK’s newly developed, completely hidden hinge system which makes it possible, for the first time, to achieve uninterrupted flush-faced surfaces on the hinge side of the door creating a visual, harmonic, overall interior design impression.

This maintenance free award winning hinge system, with an opening angle of 180º, is ideally suited for use on un-rebated premium choice interior doors, high performance and heavy- duty doors. Tectus now covers load capacities from 40kgs, 60kgs, 100kgs and 180 kgs up to 200kgs in sizes 140, 180, 210 & 240 mm.
