C.R. Laurence of Europe (CRL | www.crl.eu) offers a wide range of shower door hardware, in addition to many other products. The company has positioned itself very well in recent years, especially with accessories such as support bars, U-channels, shower doorknobs and shower door seals. With the new development of three shower door hinges, CRL is now taking a big step forward in this important segment.
"Our product range of shower door hinges has so far been characterized by high-quality products that primarily meet American and not always European requirements in terms of design and function," explains Dominik Hinzen, Managing Director of C.R. Laurence of Europe and adds: "We have therefore made it our goal to develop new product lines especially for European customers and thus respond to the needs of the markets in terms of design, functionality, quality and price". The new shower door hinges are characterized among other things by the smallest gap dimensions, intelligently designed screw covers, adjustability as well as top design and workmanship at an attractive price level. "The result is impressive," said Dominik Hinzen.
Three hardware lines for different areas of application will be launched on the market in September: The Lugano series, a compact flush mounted hinge with rise and fall function; the Bellagio swing door hinge series, which is characterized by adjustable zero position, fully concealed screws and minimal gap dimensions, as well as the Como hinge, also with fully concealed screws and, like Bellagio, suitable for doors weighing up to 50 kg and with a width of one meter. All shower door hinges are made of solid brass. Polished chrome and matt black surfaces will be in stock.
"With the new shower door hinges, we are now well positioned in this important area and can offer our customers great alternatives to known products. When it comes to the shower, CRL is now a more attractive partner than ever, offering all products from a single source. With high availability and low shipping costs, ”says Dominik Hinzen.
Lugano series
Following the trend of showers without a shower tub, Lugano offers a rise/fall mechanism that raises the shower door by up to 5 mm. Despite its compact dimensions, the Lugano hinge can carry doors weighing up to 45 kilograms and with a maximum width of 900 millimeters. The flush mounting makes it easier to clean the shower cubicle from the inside.
Bellagio series
If you look at the fittings of the new Bellagio series, the first thing you notice is the small gap dimensions. The square hinge has an iconic design, which is due to the gap dimensions on the one hand, and the elegant screw covers on the other, which are easy to attach and remove if necessary. The zero position is adjustable with this fitting, the load capacity is 50 kilograms and door widths up to one meter.
Como series
Como is a classic single action hinge, packed in a modern, angular design. Here, too, the covers plates elegantly cover the screws on both the wall and the hinge side and create a very high-quality overall impression. Large-format doors can also be realized with Como: the hinge can carry 50 kilograms and holds doors up to one meter width securely in place.
