Hinges

Hinges are mechanical components that allow a window to open and close. The size and design of the hinges depend on the window’s dimensions and weight. To handle the expected load, they are typically made from hardened steel or aluminum.

Surface protection is crucial, as hinges are designed to last for several decades. Since they are frequently operated, it’s important that they are corrosion-resistant, especially in humid environments.

Today, exposed hinges are rarely seen in modern window systems. Contemporary architectural trends prioritize clean aesthetics and have led to the widespread use of concealed hinges, which remain hidden from view and are better protected from wear and environmental factors.
