Flat-Strap FS35 pivots for glass


Flat-Strap FS35 pivots are ideal for framed and frameless glass applications.  These small concealed pivots sets are a low cost, low profile product, ideal for internal domestic glazing applications. 

Flat-Strap pivots can be fitted into a 30mm x 30mm glazing channel.  There are lots of interesting applications for museum display cases, shop-fitting work, illuminated signs and lighting using clear, transluscent, tinted or mirrored glass.

The initial prototypes have been assembled in the Canberra workshop of the Flat-Strap designer Howard Styles who believes that all adventures into experimental architectural detailing should also include the fabrication of prototypes constructed by the designer to iron out all the wrinkles as a neccesary part of the creative process.
