The concealed hinge system TECTUS TEG 310 2D gives the glass door unprecedented transparency and lightness, for contemporary interior design concepts. The patented hinge technology is barely visible and provides a reliable and durable function due to the stable hinge properties. The elegant hinge dimensions provide maximum transparency with a load capacity of 60 kg - more than enough for a glass door with dimensions of approximately 10 x 1000 x 2300 mm. The hinge technology is suitable for 8 and 10 mm glass doors in interior constructions for high- quality residential and heavy-duty projects with timber, steel and aluminium frames. Comprehensive hardware solution for glass doors The new glass door solution from SIMONSWERK includes not only the TECTUS Glass hinge system but also a magnetic latch and handles as an alternative to standard components. The closing magnet and the magnetic plate on the door side provide a contactless and silent closing process which can be adjusted to the desired latching strength of the door. All components of the new solution have a minimalistic design and are therefore suitable for use with modern timber interior doors. In addition to the completely new, flush glass door athestics and the silent closing, a major advantage of TECTUS Glass is that no glass drilling is required. It is these features which lead to the TECTUS Glass receiving the iF Design award 2018. For further information please visit www.simonswerk.com
