Door feature Anyway doors AZ Awards 2016 - winner - category: best architectural product Innovative pivot hinges without built-in floor fixtures. The invisible pivoting hinge is mounted on the finished floor surface using a compact part, without a floor spring or integrated floor fixtures. The minimum floor anchoring (2 bolts +-4cm deep) allows for easy installation on any type of floor even equipped with under floor heating systems. During the development process, a great deal of attention was paid to installation and user-friendliness so that the pivoting door could be used in new builds as well as renovations regardless of the floor construction! Offset or centrally positioned pivoting doors? The pivoting hinges are designed to create both offset axis and central axis pivoting doors. In an offset axis pivoting door, we use a 1/3 ratio for the pivot point mounting. All Anyway door panels can be equipped with this technology. There is a wide choice of plain, glass and “framed glass” doors with an aluminium frame fitted with clear, matte or even coloured glass. Smart locking technology guarantees a perfect closing unit. All pivot doors close soundlessly by means of patented locking technology integrated in the door as well as in the minimalist frame. The male (convex) part consists of a synthetic profile on the door leaf; the synthetic fitting in the door frame is the female (concave) part. Every Anyway door can therefore be set at an opening of 90°, or 180°/360°. Even with doors swinging at 180°/360°, this guarantees perfect closure and positioning. The invisible built-in ventilation is also provided as standard with full doors and glass-framed doors. For more information: www.anywaydoors.be 40
