Hafele launches pivot/slide-in storage hardware

Hafele introduces the multi-functional Hawa Concepta 25/30/50 pivot and slide-in hardware system for elegant storage room solutions.

The range creates space in front of the cabinet and provides unobstructed access to its content.

The Hawa Concepta 25/30/50 for wood and glass doors is now available from Hafele UK's 2010 Furniture Fittings catalogue.

Hawa Concepta 25/30/50 can move wood and glass doors weighing up to 50kg.

The pivot/slide-in hardware combines the two movement forms of pivoting and sliding to allow doors to be opened conventionally by 90 degrees with a slight pivoting motion and then pushed into a recess to save space.

The Hawa Concepta 25/30/50 is also suitable for creating wall recesses or walk-in wardrobes.

It accommodates door heights of up to 2,850mm, widths from 300-900mm, wood thicknesses from 19-50mm and a glass thickness of 8mm (toughened safety glass).

The system provides the greatest possible storage space inside the cabinet; a door with a thickness of 30mm needs a maximum recess width of 55mm.

The modular, all-glass system has form-fitting and safe glass fastenings.

Plain anodised aluminium decor disks for glass patch suspension, vertical cover plates and a frame profile with integrated door handles in three lengths add up to a total of four different design options.

Hawa also offers front metal covers for every profile.

Hawa Concepta features scissor technology that moves the door into the recess.

Smooth operation and user friendliness are guaranteed, even for heavy doors.

It also effectively prevents doors from jamming during pivoting and sliding movements.

Scissor technology is completely maintenance-free and also enables optimal utilisation of the cabinet depth with the door projecting only a little beyond the cabinet wall.

Doors weighing 30kg or more are equipped with trolleys fitted with plastic-coated rollers in addition to scissor technology, providing the best possible operating ease and comfort.

Cabinet assembly is accomplished at a comfortable working height; pivot/slide in doors are laid flat on trestles and joined to the intermediate panel.

The entire section is then inserted into the cabinet body and the intermediate panel attached to the cabinet body.

The hardware system is suitable for serial production and allows furniture items to be pre-assembled at the factory and delivered to the site.

Concealed hinges for glass and wood doors also guarantee optimal functionality and setting options.

The opening angle is set individually on each door to ensure handles and hands are well-protected if the cabinet is positioned next to a wall.

Brush seals on the outside and a roller on the inside of the door provide optimal door guidance.

No further furniture components need processing once the positioning and hinge holes have been drilled ensuring planning and processing is as efficient and timesaving as possible.

Hawa has developed an assembly method with patent pending; bonding frame profiles to glass by means of silicone.

This is achieved by inserting rubber profiles with punch holes into the vertical frame profiles.

It simplifies glass fitting because the rubber insert in the profile centres the glass pane and holds it in position.

The new Hawa method also eliminates the problem of silicone oozing out of joints which in turn eliminates cleaning work such as peeling off residual silicone.

The result is a clean joint between glass and aluminium.
