With triple glazing attracting more and more attention in the industry it comes as no surprise to the Trojan Group that sales of their Mega Egress hinges have more than doubled in the last twelve months.   The long established Mega Egress hinges can carry up to 40kg which is more than sufficient for the additional weight of the triple glazed unit.

Like all Trojan products, the Mega Egress offers a wealth of benefits. Aside from being triple glazing-compatible, it also offers a true full 90 degree opening, so it easily meets egress compliance requirements. The innovative patented mechanical design also solves frequent gasket compression problems traditionally associated with conventional hinges.  Because of its patented design, it does not move inwards on opening and consequently restrict the window aperture, as with conventional scissor type hinges. The Mega Egress hinge is available in two lengths 220mm and 345mm with two stack heights, 13.5mm and 16.5mm and is a genuinely versatile hardware product as its weight carrying capacity means you need minimal hinges in stock.

Tony Chadwick, Managing Director of the Trojan Group comments, “One of the impacts of triple glazing is the need for heavier duty hardware to be able to cope with the additional weight of the units. The Mega Egress hinge can be used on all side hung applications up to a maximum sash width of 900mm but more importantly it can carry up to 40kg, making it ideal for all heavy duty applications, including triple glazed windows.   The hinge also achieves high security (PAS 24 as part of a window system) and offers excellent compression characteristics.”

It is the intelligent-design and multi-purpose nature of the Mega Egress that caters for both double and triple glazed units without tying up excessive capital in stock that demonstrates why Trojan’s sales of the product have more than doubled!
