Frequently Asked Questions
What Blum products does Windsor Plywood carry?
Windsor Plywood carries Blum CLIP top hinges with BLUMOTION soft-close technology, TANDEMBOX and MOVENTO full-extension drawer systems, AVENTOS lift systems for overhead cabinet doors, and BLUMOTION dampers. These products support kitchen, bathroom, and custom cabinet builds requiring smooth, quiet, long-lasting hardware performance.
What is Blum BLUMOTION technology?
BLUMOTION is Blum's integrated soft-close damping system built directly into their hinges and drawer runners. The mechanism decelerates doors and drawers in the final degrees of closing, preventing slamming and reducing wear on cabinet boxes and faces. BLUMOTION is built into the hardware rather than added as a separate component, which provides more reliable performance over time.
What size Forstner bit do I need for Blum CLIP top hinges?
Blum CLIP top hinges require a 35mm Forstner bit bored to a depth of approximately 12 to 13mm. This is the standard European hinge cup bore. Use a drill press for consistent depth across all doors in a cabinet run. Confirm the exact depth specification for the specific Blum hinge model you are installing, as it can vary slightly between product lines.
Are Blum products compatible with face-frame cabinets?
Yes. Blum manufactures face-frame adapter plates that allow their CLIP top hinges and other hardware to work correctly with face-frame cabinet construction, in addition to their native compatibility with frameless European cabinets. Confirm the specific adapter plates required for your face-frame cabinet dimensions with Windsor Plywood staff when purchasing.
Can I replace existing cabinet hinges with Blum?
If your existing cabinets have 35mm hinge cup bores, Blum CLIP top hinges will fit directly as a drop-in replacement. If the existing hinge cups are a different size or if your cabinets use surface-mount hinges without a bore, new boring may be required. Bring a door with the existing hinge to your local Windsor Plywood for a fit check before purchasing.
