New Product Development – Simplex Hinge
We’ve always used the best quality ironmongery available but, with the Scottish market being relatively small, and the emphasis now being on cheap mass produced ironmongery, certain items are simply no longer available.
One area of concern for us has been the thickness of the brass used on the hinges. Really thick leaf hinges are no longer to be sourced, so we instructed a manufacturer to make up a hinge with a thicker leaf and hardened washers based on the traditional design and dimensions.
This is important for some of the larger windows in the older properties, and some of the larger double glazed sash and case windows.
We now have this prototype which we are very happy with, and we hope to proceed with the manufacture in the next 6 – 8 weeks.

One of the above is Double Glazed - Which one? The window on the right is a 14mm slim line double glazed unit with a 27mm astrical. Split down the middle into a
2 over 2 with a 'through' astrigal making four individual double glazed units.
