At SWS Hardware, we supply a range of concealed hinge systems (also known as invisible or European hinges) to help you achieve a seamless finish across your premium interior projects.

In the spotlight today is the Air range of hinges by Italian manufacturer Salice – a globally recognised leader in furniture hardware. This truly concealed hinge solution offers both design minimalism and cutting-edge performance. Whether you're fitting bedroom cabinetry, display units, or full-height doors, the Salice Air Hinge delivers exceptional aesthetics with dependable functionality.

How Salice Air Hinges work

Unlike traditional cup-and-arm hinges, the Salice Air Hinge is morticed into the top and bottom of both the cabinet and the door. This creates a completely concealed system with no visible hardware when the door is closed – perfect for uninterrupted sightlines and contemporary design schemes.

Each hinge includes an integrated Smove soft-close damper and offers three-way adjustability (height, side-to-side and depth) for easy alignment and a flush finish.

For even faster installation and added stability, optional aluminium mounting profiles are available, eliminating the need for additional cabinet modifications.

The Air advantage

Salice Air is a revolutionary concealed door-hinge system, engineered for ultimate discretion.

Here’s why it stands out:

Ultra-compact: inserted into the top and bottom of the cabinet and the door, Salice Air Hinges are virtually invisible when the door is closed.
High-performing: despite their small size, Air Hinges offer 105° opening and support doors up to 25 kg in weight and 2700 mm in height.
Versatile: suitable for wooden- and aluminium-framed doors across kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, and display cabinets (minimum thickness: 18mm).
Integrated soft-close: features a built-in Smove decelerating mechanism for smooth, silent closure.
Easy to align: 3D adjustment makes fine-tuning quick and accurate.
Optional mounting profile: streamlines installation and boosts strength – ideal for oversized doors.

Salice Air FAQs

Can I create handleless designs with Air Hinges?

Yes – Salice Air Push offers Push-to-Open functionality via a small spring that allows effortless opening of handleless doors.

Is Salice Air easy to install?

Very! For added ease, Salice offers optional holders and aluminium mounting profiles. These streamline installation, conceal any machining marks and provide additional support for larger or heavier doors.

How many hinges do I need per door?

Most standard doors require two Salice Air Hinges, but the exact number depends on the door’s weight, height and width. For taller or heavier doors, an additional hinge may be needed to ensure smooth, stable operation. Always refer to the manufacturer’s load capacity guidance for your specific project before installation.

What tools do I need to install Salice Air Hinges?

To install Salice Air Hinges, you’ll typically need a precision drill with a Forstner bit to create the mortice for the hinge cup, a screwdriver for secure fixing, and a measuring jig or template for accurate alignment. If you’re using the optional aluminium profile, standard cutting tools may be required to size the profile to fit.

Are Salice Air hinges available in different finishes?

Yes – choose between titanium and nickel Air hinges to complement your hardware scheme perfectly.
