Companies using glass as a modern architectural material in building glass cubicles, walls and partitions have come to rely on European glass hardware for quality and dependability.

When designing an office with glass partitions and stackable walls, a house with glass shower cubicles or a shop with glass swing doors and glass storage units, the requirement for good quality hardware becomes paramount.

The hardware generally needed for such work:

Door Hinges

They are usually available in stainless steel, carbon steel or brass and sometimes are anodized to suit the décor, style or requirement of the user. They are fitted with bushes impregnated with some lubricant to ensure smooth operation. They need to be designed for long life and need to fit the bill of intended door type.
