In the world of kitchen hardware, hinges are overlooked. They are often an afterthought. But most often viewed as a basic necessity. However, many new possibilities are available when hinge function is understood as a decorative complement to your room. Look no further than your imagination to explore how hinges can be much more than just functional hardware.
Covered Hinges
For a clean, designer look, covered hinges have become increasingly popular. The ability to hide the mechanical workings of a hinge with a fashionable covering that matches the interior colour of the cabinet is essential in a designer kitchen. The covers can also function as a protective layer against some grease or dust build up.
Lift Systems
These handy alternatives to the standard hinge, lift the cabinet door up and away allowing unfettered access to the inside of the cabinet.
No longer will you have to work around cabinet doors, or open and close them every time you need something.
Lift systems stay open as you work. When you're done they can be closed once again. Like the covered hinges, lift systems also come with coloured covers to match the interior of the cabinets for a better aesthetic.
Low-Profile Hinges
Some hinges can be almost completely concealed, making the maximum cubic space available and hiding away the unsightly mechanics of a standard hinge.
These low-profile hinges are strong enough to support your cabinet doors without having to work around a clunky standard hinge.
Sliding Door Systems
Every so often there is not enough swing space for a cabinet door. These may come in small condos and apartments, or oddly shaped or considerably tight kitchens. In cases such as this, a sliding door system may be the answer to your riddle.
Sliding door systems work on a track to slide the door to the side or straight up, eliminating the loss of space caused by a door that swings open.
No matter the application, there is a hinge system designed perfectly for your situation that can not only save space and time, but can improve the look of your concept as a whole.
