VARIANT® Compact
Adjustable hinge solutions for elegant frame facings
As a result of the trend to pare down to just the essentials in architectural spaces, the focus is increasingly directed at the elements that define the space, such as the door, frame and the connecting hinge System.
With its 3D receiver installed in the door, VARIANT Compact offers an ideal solution for narrow frame constructions. The VARIANT Compact Planum model version can be used on narrow frame constructions in particular due to its extremely elegant 15-mm hinge knuckle and thereby complete the overall stylistic appearance of the door element. Another application area of VARIANT Compact includes modern door renovations whereby existing steel frames are used again and the new door element is equipped with modern 3D adjusting technology.
Receiver in door
With a maximum knuckle diameter of 22.5 mm, the compact and stable hinge-and-receiver unit can withstand loads of up to 200 kg and is also suitable for use on functional doors for smoke and fire protection. An elegant cover on the receiver in the door provides the finishing touch to this innovative hinge solution.

Ideal for renovating existing doors
The forward-looking focus on renovating existing doors is another area of application for the VARIANT Compact series. Moving the hinge receiver to the door means that existing steel frames can continue to be used, saving both time and money, and the new or modified door leaf can be fitted with modern hinge technology. This means existing building elements can be managed sensitively and in the context of resource-efficient refurbishment, the concept of sustainability can develop with every construction measure, however small.
