PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: TILA ALUMINIUM PROFILE HINGE

Seamless, High-Performance Hinging for Premium Enclosures

In applications such as mobile service bodies, truck compartments, trailer doors, access flaps, canopies or vehicle bodies, you face a recurring set of hinge-related challenges:

• Doors or lids that operate freely but lack precision alignment or sealing.External hinge protrusions that snag in walkways or interfere with vehicle clearance.
  
  
• Hinges that degrade in outdoor or transport exposure—especially when vibration, moisture or changes in temperature are involved.
  
  
• Limited hinge coverage (e.g., single-leaf or short hinge lengths) that results in uneven movement or fatigue over time.
  

In short: you need a hinge solution that delivers continuous support, low profile, weather resilience, and full-length performance — all with professional-grade materials and specification readiness.

The Solution: TILA Aluminium Profile Hinge

The TILA Aluminium Profile Hinge provides exactly this — a continuous aluminium-profile hinge (sometimes called a “piano” or “continuous seal hinge”) designed for full-length installation on doors, lids and frames.

With pre-drilled holes, high-quality materials, and a design range from 1.8 m to 2.7 m, it suits modern industrial, marine and vehicle-build applications. 

Key Features and Benefits

• Continuous Profile Design: The hinge forms a full-length bearing between panel and frame, enabling smoother motion, better seal alignment and distributed load rather than relying on discrete hinge pivots.
  
  
• Low External Profile and Minimal Protrusion: Designed to sit flush and reduce snag risk in high-traffic or vehicle applications.
  
  
• Weather and Wear-Resistant Construction:Aluminium profile: AlMgSi 0.5, anodised E6 EV1, matt silver finish. Polyurethane elastomer polymer hinge/seal profile: permanently elastic and high tear-resistance. Operating temperature range: –40 °C to +80 °C, with short exposure up to +120 °C.
  
  
• Pre-Drilled for Fast Installation: Supplied with pre-drilled Ø4 mm holes spaced at 100 mm intervals, saving on panel preparation. 
  
  
• Extended Length Options: Available in lengths of 1,800 mm, 2,200 mm, 2,400 mm and 2,700 mm—suitable for long lids, full-height doors or service body compartments.
  
  
• Security by Design: The interlocking aluminium profiles in closed position make forced entry via hinge removal more difficult — the hinge must be accessed only when the door is open.

Technical Snapshot

Pro Tip: Because lengths are available up to 2.7 m, you can use one continuous hinge for full-door assemblies instead of multiple short pivots — simplifying alignment and increasing durability.
