Concealed Door Hinges Explained: Soss vs Tectus
In the realm of interior design, every detail counts. From the choice of furniture to the color of the walls, each element contributes to the overall ambiance of a space. Yet, amidst all these considerations, one often-overlooked feature holds significant potential to elevate the aesthetic appeal of a room – concealed door hinges. At SDS London, we understand the importance of seamless design, and that's why we're delving into the world of concealed door hinges, focusing on two renowned brands – Soss and Tectus. Join us as we explore the installation process and the myriad benefits these hinges bring to your interiors.
Concealed Elegance: Soss Hinges
Soss hinges have been synonymous with concealed elegance for decades. Crafted with precision engineering, these hinges offer a seamless solution for doors where a clean, unobtrusive look is desired. The installation process of Soss hinges requires meticulous attention to detail but yields remarkable results.
Preparation: Before beginning the installation, ensure that the door and frame are perfectly aligned. Any discrepancies can affect the performance of the hinges. Measure and mark the locations where the hinges will be installed on both the door and the frame.
Routing: Unlike traditional hinges, Soss hinges require a precise recess to be routed into both the door and the frame. This ensures that the hinges are completely concealed when the door is closed, creating a sleek and streamlined appearance. Use a router and template to carve out the necessary pockets, taking care to maintain uniform depth and alignment.
Installation: With the recesses prepared, it's time to install the hinges. Soss hinges consist of two parts – one for the door and one for the frame. Secure each part into its respective recess using screws, ensuring a snug fit. Test the movement of the door to ensure smooth operation.
Benefits of Soss Hinges:
Concealed Design: Soss hinges are virtually invisible when the door is closed, maintaining a clean and minimalist aesthetic.
Smooth Operation: Despite their hidden nature, Soss hinges offer smooth and reliable door movement, thanks to their precision engineering.
Durable Construction: Crafted from high-quality materials, Soss hinges are built to last, providing long-term performance and reliability.
Tectus Hinges: The Epitome of Functionality
Tectus hinges represent the pinnacle of concealed hinge technology, combining seamless design with unmatched functionality. While similar to Soss hinges in their concealed nature, Tectus hinges offer unique features and installation requirements.
Alignment: As with Soss hinges, proper alignment is crucial for the installation of Tectus hinges. Ensure that the door and frame are perfectly positioned before proceeding.
Routing: Like Soss hinges, Tectus hinges require precise recesses to be routed into the door and frame. However, Tectus hinges offer greater adjustability, allowing for fine-tuning of the door's position after installation.
Adjustment: One of the key benefits of Tectus hinges is their adjustability. Unlike traditional hinges, which may require shimming or adjustments to the frame, Tectus hinges can be easily adjusted in three dimensions – height, lateral, and depth – for perfect alignment.
Installation: Secure the Tectus hinges into their respective recesses using the provided screws. Once installed, use the adjustment screws to fine-tune the door's position, ensuring a precise fit.
Benefits of Tectus Hinges:
Superior Adjustability: Tectus hinges offer unparalleled adjustability, allowing for precise alignment of the door in three dimensions.
Concealed Elegance: Like Soss hinges, Tectus hinges provide a clean and minimalist appearance, with no visible hardware when the door is closed.
Long-Term Performance: Engineered for durability, Tectus hinges deliver smooth and reliable operation for years to come.
Concealed door hinges offer a sophisticated solution for achieving seamless design in interior spaces. Whether you opt for the timeless elegance of Soss hinges or the unmatched functionality of Tectus hinges, SDS London provides the expertise and quality products you need to elevate your interiors.
