Last month we launched our PolyBoard hardware packs with new fittings from Blum, Grass and Hettich.

We’re happy to announce that our next pack is now available to download: Salice drawer, door and lift systems.

  • Futura, F70 and Lineabox drawer systems
  • Silentia Plus and Air hinges
  • WIND lift system

More details on our first three packs:

  • Blum: larger range of LEGRABOX and MERIVOBOX drawer systems covering more drawer depths
  • Blum: expanded range of AVENTOS HKi and HL lift systems
  • Grass: addition of the Dynapro drawer system
  • Grass: expanded range of Vionaro and Nova Pro Scala drawer configurations
  • Grass: new Kinvaro flap system
  • Grass: new Nexis and Tiomos hinges
  • Hettich: larger range of cam configurations
  • Hettich: expanded range of Sensys hinges

On a regular basis we will be adding new packs from other popular suppliers, and adding to existing packs as new hardware is released.

We’ll watch out for new releases so you don’t have to, and let you know as soon as they are available!

See the pinned post at the top for details on how to access your new hardware.
