Sigma hinge family expands

VBH has announced that the Sigma door hinge ‘family’ is being bolstered by two new additions.

Sigma is the umbrella name for the Greenteq resi-door hinge range for PVC-U and composite doors.

The first new product is a butt hinge for aluminium entrance doors. The hinge, which requires no jigs to fit, will carry sashes weighing up to 90kg and is available in white, black, anthracite grey and F1 silver anodised finishes.

The second product is the Sigma velocity hinge for rebated doors. The 2-knuckle construction T-hinge design provides an alternative to the Sigma flag hinge.

Once Velocity’s frame part has been positioned and fixed using a jig and the supplied screws, the sash part ‘self-locates’ prior to fixing. This, coupled with the fact that the hinges are supplied pre-assembled means that fitting is reportedly very quick.

Rob Norman, business development director at VBH, said: “Like the original Sigma flag, Velocity carries 100kg doors and provides full 3D adjustment. It’s been developed in response to calls for a compact unit that speeds up production times on the bench.”

Sigma Velocity has been successfully tested to PAS24:2022 as part of a PVC-U door assembly, and is approved for use on installations that are covered by the Q-secure consumer security guarantee.

Velocity is available in eight colours of VBH’s Greenteq suite of matching resi-door, patio door and window furniture, which comes with a minimum 10-year mechanical and surface guarantee on all finishes.
