Dynamic first half for SFS intec

SFS intec has seen sales of its Dynamic 2D hinge for PVC-U and composite doors take off during the first half of 2006.

SFS intec has seen sales of its Dynamic 2D hinge for PVC-U and composite doors take off during the first half of 2006 with a series of fabricators making the switch to the advanced PAS-023/024 performing product.

Launched in 2005, interest in the European-manufactured Dynamic 2D hinge has been strong as it is increasingly being recognised by leading fabricators as the ideal product to achieve the security/aesthetics balance.

The latest customer to make the switch to this new product is Southport Glass, an experienced Veka fabricator in the North West serving the retail and trade markets.

Director of Southport Glass, Joe Thomas says, "The Dynamic 2D is a great product".

"Having been around for more than 40 years, we have built an excellent reputation for the quality of our doors and windows and we like to think we know quality when we see it".

"This hinge gives our doors the all-important enhanced security that homeowners are increasingly looking for but also enhanced looks".

The Dynamic 2D hinge has been extensively tested on doorsets using a variety of PVC-U profiles.

In one test the hinge remained intact and operational after been subjected to a force approaching 9kN, double the level normally applied during PAS-024 testing.

Unlike the majority of enhanced security standard hinges, the Dynamic 2D's high strength characteristics do not compromise aesthetics.

The hinge's slimline appearance enables fabricators to produce attractive doors and offer their customers eight highly durable standard colour finishes, including the extremely popular matt chrome.
