Security FR hinge
22nd May 2018

MILA, which recently brought the Axor range of European tilt and turn hardware to the UK, has followed with the launch of Aura, an enhanced security hinge for fully reversible windows, developed in partnership with Spilka.

Managing Director Richard Gyde said: “Tilt and turn windows typically only account for around 8% of the total window market and fully reversible windows around 4%, but, for fabricators specialising in the social housing market in particular, it can be a significant part of their business, so we’re investing in bringing new hardware products to the market which give them access to a much wider choice.”

The Aura fully reversible hinges are available with profile specific head slides to suit any standard PVC-U, timber and aluminium fully reversible profiles with 12mm x 32mm fitting grooves.

All have been independently tested to current European and British Standards and meet the requirements of Secured by Design.

They can be used with window heights from 500mm to 1600mm and with a maximum sash weight of 80kg. There are 21 module sizes available from M6 to M16 in 50mm steps.

The hinges feature a press and hold release mechanism which enables the window to move from the 80-100mm safety position, through the 150-290mm ventilation position and then to the reversed position. This mechanism can be locked for safety, restricting the opening to the 100mm maximum.
