When it comes to fitted furniture, the drawer is the big pull according to Hettich, even if it sometimes hides from view.
Fitted-furniture styles and finishes might evolve or retreat, inspire or reassure, but for quality the only way is forward. In the kitchen, bedroom and other areas of the home, the sensation of opening and closing a door or drawer is the differentiating factor which continues to delight long after the fitters have left the building.
Likewise, sharply-defined, even gaps between drawers are the mark of quality cabinetry, and Hettich’s Quadro V6 full-extension drawer runner has become the acknowledged way to achieve this visual perfection. The addition of Quadro has always given a meaningful uplift to a range of furniture without adding significant cost. As soon as the customer uses or sees the drawer with Quadro as opposed to a more basic alternative, the added value is immediately apparent and that can make all the difference.
Add Quadro, add value
But Hettich has now set the bar even higher for drawer system performance with Quadro V6 5D, which has a loading capacity up to 30 kg and uses slide-on assembly. It comes with Silent System and Push to Open, with Push to Open Silent being optional. The significant difference is that Quadro 5D is adjustable in five dimensions as opposed to four. The new plane of adjustment is radial, which is fine-tuned using the drawer-box adjuster on the runner, in addition to tilt. Vertical and horizontal movement remain adjustable in the catch, while depth is determined in the plug.
With quick and easy tool-less adjustment in five dimensions – horizontal, vertical, depth, tilt and radial – Quadro V6 5D provides the best route yet to dependable and accurate alignment.
Flexible, interchangeable
With slide-on assembly and quick-release, Quadro’s ease of installation belies its sophistication. Its design even removes the need for a door damper: simply minimise the drawer front gap without letting the front panel contact the carcass.
In the Quadro range, you’ll find further universal benefits such as the option to use in conjunction with up to 18mm wood or fibreboard in applications where KA runners fitted to the side of the drawer box would more typically have been used. For a small uplift in price, manufacturers can offer the superior performance of Quadro, plus the fact that it is concealed under the drawer box.
Quadro features high-precision, maintenance-free steel ball bearings, and the whole assembly is made from galvanised steel and therefore suitable for rooms exposed to moisture. Its profile geometry makes for high tracking stability and strength. The result is a well-balanced, smooth-running action which is bound to impress end-users.
Quadro also benefits from Hettich’s platform concept, providing many options for differentiating furniture using the same drawer and carcass. Choices include partial and full-extension runners, plus soft close and the innovative synchronised Push-to-open silent mechanism for handleless furniture.
For highly-distinctive furniture design, with narrow reveals and large front panels, Hettich also has the answer in the Actro 5D drawer runner. As with Quadro V6 5D, Actro 5D adjusts in five directions, but with the distinction of providing extremely narrow reveals with large drawer fronts, with smooth, synchronised running, incredible stability and capacity up to 70 kg.
