Window Hinges: Spilka Classic™

Since the 1970s, Spilka Classic has been the leading topswing hinge in the Scandinavian market and remains the main product for Spilka Industri.

Areas of application
Spilka Classic™ hinges are used in horizontal top hung fully reversible windows.

The most widely used window profile is made of timber, but additionally there are profiles in aluminum/timber, vinyl (PVCu) and GRP. Profile details are available in our Construction Manual.

Useful functions
The window is opened by a handle on the lower part of the casement which operates an espagnolette system, this also allows for secure ventilation. Spilka Classic™ hinges incorporate a child safety lock as a standard. This limits the initial opening of the window to a maximum of 100 mm and re-engages when the sash reverses 180 degrees to allow the outside pane of glass to be cleaned. This is done without intrusion into the room - leaving curtains, blinds and ornaments undisturbed.

Functional benefits
Outward opening windows have a weather performance advantage as the sash is made tighter against the weather gaskets in the frame by increased wind pressure. The hinge is fitted in a 'routing' in the side of the frame and this allows a minimal gap between sash and frame.

Handling the window is easy in all positions. The design and construction ensures the sash is perfectly balanced even when the sash is reversed 180 degrees.

The hinge system allows the design of high performance, secure windows with excellent insulation qualities; the hinge rivets are precisely produced with in-built lubrication requiring no maintenance and ensuring a long service life.

Spilka Classic™ sizes
The hinges are available in 7 sizes (S1-S7) in a range of standard and non-standard colours, allowing windows up to 388 mm high and maximum of 1588 mm wide.

In addition, we have Spilka Classic™ HD, for frame weight up to 80 kg, a new hinge option for larger and heavier windows.
