Frameless Minimalism, Compact Versatility: The Original Invisible Pivot Hinge
Transform lightweight to medium interior doors up to 45kg with a completely concealed, frame-free pivot solution—100% safe for underfloor heating.
Redefining Lightweight Architectural Doors
Modern minimalist interiors rely on clean, uninterrupted lines and frameless door openings. Traditional butt hinges create visual clutter with exposed knuckles and frames, while standard pivot hardware often requires invasive slab cutouts that ruin finished floors.
Enter the Arlu® (Argenta) Pivotica (45kg) Floor Mounted.
Engineered in Europe, the compact Pivotica hinge mounts entirely inside the door leaf, rendering it completely invisible when the door is closed. Designed specifically for timber and composite interior doors weighing up to 45kg, it gives architects, joiners, and interior designers maximum creative freedom without requiring deep floor box excavation.
What Makes the Pivotica 45kg System Unique?
- In-Door Integration: The compact pivot mechanism fits entirely within a bottom cutout in the door leaf, leaving only a sleek surface-mounted floor plate on the ground.
- Underfloor Heating Safe: Installed via a shallow floor-mounted footplate, making it 100% safe for floors with embedded underfloor heating.
- Flexible Hold Positions: Built-in mechanical hold positions at 90° (+90° / -90°) and 0° keep the door securely aligned and convenient for daily room transitions.
Core Features & Benefits
