Visible elegance: SIMONSWERK sets a mark with a filigree knuckle 01-04-2009
Under the model name VARIANT PLANUM, SIMONSWERK has introduced an innovative hinge series with a reduced filigree knuckle diameter of only15 millimetres to the market. This connects design demands and high load capacity. The building hinges from the VARIANT VX and VARIANT VN product families set visual accents as the filigree hinge knuckle is used in a targeted manner for high-quality building doors as a subtle design feature.
High-quality architecture increasingly sets stylish building technology details in scene. While the shape of a structure seems much reduced, withdrawn and decorative facades give way to straight component parts, elegant but subtle technical elements appear to the eye with a high degree of creative demand. The elegant models from the VARIANT PLANUM product family meet the trend of surface flush construction elements. A reduced filigree knuckle hinge with a mere 15 millimetres distinguishes the building hinges. The lean, elegant shape which nonetheless withstands loads of up to 160 kg, complies harmoniously with the reduced form of contemporary architecture. It can be seen on building doors as a prominent detail, however it does not impose.
The building hinges for rebated and unrebated building doors meet the highest of aesthetic demands. In addition, all the advantages of the tried and tested hinge programme in connection with the retainer element VARIANT VX for wood, steel and aluminium frames such as the three-dimensional adjustment option are guaranteed. An optimum solution for unrebated building doors on narrow block frames and constructions with a shadow gap is provided by the building hinge with the three-dimensional adjustable SIMONSWERK retainer element UK 3D in the door leaf.
