Buying guides
Practical guides for fabricators, contractors and homeowners choosing aluminium profiles and glass hardware.
16x45 vs 16x35 Aluminium Partition Profiles: Which Should You Choose?Both systems are 16 mm deep. Choose 16x45 (45 mm wide) for larger panels, heavier glass and high-traffic doors. Choose 16x35 (35 mm wide) when a slim, minimal frame is the priority and panels are moderate in size.Floor Spring vs Hydraulic Patch Fitting for Glass DoorsUse a floor spring when the floor can be cut and the door is heavy or heavily used. Use a hydraulic patch fitting when the floor is finished or cannot be cut, for example in renovations, because the closing mechanism sits inside the bottom patch.Patch Fittings for a Frameless Glass Door: Complete ChecklistA single frameless glass door needs a top patch, a bottom patch, a top pivot and a floor spring (or a hydraulic patch instead of the floor spring and bottom patch). Add a lock patch to lock it, L patches where it meets fixed side panels and an overpanel, and a centre lock strike box for double doors.How to Choose Shower Glass Hinges, Connectors and SealsPick hinges by what the door hangs from: wall-to-glass hinges for a door on a wall, glass-to-glass hinges for a door on a fixed panel, at 90°, 135° or 180°. Fix static panels with clamps or connectors, brace tall single panels with a stabiliser rod, and match magnetic seals to the angle where the door closes.
