Hardware supplier VBH has introduced a new hardware system to suit its Sheerline Prestige aluminum lift and slide patio doors. greenteQ ClearLIFT Slim has been developed with Italian hardware supplier AGB and is ideal for slimline lift and slide patio doors.

It accommodates sliding sashes weighing up to 550 pounds as standard, with the option to increase capacity to 880 pounds with the addition of just one item. ClearLIFT Slim allows the creation of sliding panels measuring up to 12 feet wide and 8.8 feet high, designed to flood any room with natural light.

Security is provided by two sturdy hook bolts, with the option to add additional hooks in the middle and at the top of the door if required. The hooks retract into the sash when the door is open, and the striker plates are flush to the frame. This provides a neat finish to the door and eliminates the risk of items snagging on any projections into the opening.

Further optional extras include a ventilation position, the Auto-Brake Closing Damper that gently slows the sliding sash down as it approaches the frame and the Opening Damper that provides a controlled opening of the door. Optional Assisted Operation Kits make both the lifting and dropping operations easier for the user.

The first major ClearLIFT Slim installation has been carried out by BSW Window Solutions of Peterborough, who installed 96 sets in a new apartment development in west London.

Frameless Hardware Company's Next-Gen Frameless Shower Hinge surpassed 1 million cycles in endurance testing. Designed, engineered, and tested in FHC’s Innovation Lab, the new hinge features a patent-pending design with proprietary anti-slip technology. The innovation centers around an integrated, factory-bonded gasket made of a special formulated, engineering grade polymer glass grip material, embedded in a recessed body. This design eliminates slippage, a common issue in conventional hardware, and also simplifies installation.

In addition to the cycle testing results, FHC offers a 15-year warranty on all its frameless shower hardware.
