A growing trend for designing commercial buildings with larger windows has led to a rise in the demand for window hinges that can safely and securely support the weight of these larger windows and vents, according to one window hardware manufacturer. Securistyle said it was responding to this growing demand by 'enhancing its Defender Sterling self-balancing hinge' as part of its ongoing product development programme. The re-design of the hinge included the addition of a number of features that it says will help improve carrying capacity, weatherproofing, gust loading and endurance, offering 'high performance' and now a 'guaranteed 30,000 cycles'. The product is able to carry a casement sash 180kg vent safely, offering further flexibility to install bigger vents and windows. "Increased carrying capacity, innovation and sustainability are all essential to future commercial installations," commented Glyn Jones, sales and marketing manager at Securistyle.
