Ordering glass and hardware has never been easier. FHC’s INSTAQUOTE® offers an innovative next generation web-based configurator that will allow all FHC’s B2B customers to design, quote, and order custom Architectural Hardware fast and easy from the FHC website! The program accurately calculates finished glass sizes from field dimensions, accounts for out-of-plumb/level conditions to correctly draw the glass out-of-square. It then exports DXF files for CNC integration while eliminating the the need to manually draw every piece of glass for fabrication.
FHC Vacuum Cups are traditional hand-held vacuum cups combined with one-handed operation. The new vacuum cup features an automatic, integrated battery-operated pump, eliminating thumb fatigue from manual pumping. The vacuum is continually monitored and automatically reactivates the pump to provide a continuous hold in case of vacuum loss.
