For clients looking for sleek modern design and the ability to maximise space where needed, Hawa’s NEW Concepta III — available in New Zealand from Hafele — provide a smart, low maintenance and durable solution. 

Applications

Hawa Concepta III is ideal for modern residential kitchens where clients want a more adaptable design. Hawa’s systems give homeowners the ability to quickly and easily convert key areas such as pantries and appliance nooks without cabinet doors getting in the way, and then close off the space again when not in use. 

The Hawa Concepta III Pocket Door system is ideal for standard sized pantries and cupboards, while the Hawa Folding Concepta III system is particularly suitable for wider doors thanks to its folding functionality which ensures larger doors are first folded before sliding flush out of sight.

Away from the kitchen, these systems can also provide flexibility for home offices and work stations, entertainment areas and bars. Hawa Concepta III Pocket Door systems can also help designers bring greater adaptability to commercial spaces, such as at the world-renowned Marina Bay Sands Hotel in Singapore where over 1,000 freestanding breakfast bars have been equipped with Hawa Concepta doors.

Key performance benefits

Easy to use

Hawa Concepta III Pocket Door systems feature movement assistance and soft-closing functionality, so a simple touch is all it takes to transition a cabinet from open to closed.  These features make even heavy doors feel light, allowing every member of the household to operate them effortlessly and comfortably.

Versatile design options

Hawa Concepta III Pocket Door systems feature two operational modes — a PUSH version with movement assistance for handle-less cabinets, and a PULL version without movement assistance for cabinets with handles. They are available in four size variations for cabinets ranging from small to large to meet different project requirements. 

Straightforward installation

Hawa Concepta III Pocket Doors have been designed with cabinet makers in mind. The systems can be easily installed in just a few steps, with no specialist skills required, ensuring flawless quality and functionality.

Design support

Designers and cabinet makers can use Hawa’s online system configurator to generate a complete and customised plan for their specific project. This plan includes detailed drilling and cutting dimensions for all panels and profiles. Additionally, the plan is available as a 3D CAD or BIM file and can be integrated into most CNC programs for automated processing. 

Hawa have also developed software add-ons for Cabinet Vision and Microvellum design software, and are currently working with others to offer the most comprehensive planning options available.

History of use

Hawa's Concepta Pocket Doors have been in the marketplace for more than 15 years and have been used on many high-profile projects. 

Warranty and maintenance

Hawa Concepta III and Hawa Folding Concepta III Pocket Door systems are tested for up to 40,000 cycles. If opened and closed twice times every day, that equates to a life expectancy of over 50 years.

Once installed, the doors require little maintenance apart from the occasional cleaning of tracks to keep them free from dirt and debris. Any adjustments or tweaks needed can be made directly from the front of the cabinet with a 3mm Allen key.

Environmental performance

EPD certificates are readily available from Hawa. The Hawa team has also taken efforts to reduce the environmental impact of the latest iterations of these systems — the Hawa Concepta III and Folding Concepta III — compared to previous systems. This includes reducing the amount of materials used to produce the doors, and greatly reducing packaging. The new Concepta III weighs less than 10kg — including the packaging!
