Features of door designs without platbands with a hidden frame

The desire to make a unique and inimitable design has led to the creation of unusual doors. These are hidden doors without platbands. This design completely merges with the wall. An unusual solution allows you to visually expand the space. The absence of a classic door gives the interior an exceptional look, allowing it to withstand an unrivaled design.

Classic door blocks have clearly defined frames. They accurately mark the boundary of the entrance in the wall. The joint between the frame and the wall is closed with platbands. Even when choosing the canvas and platbands in the color of the wall, they will stand out noticeably. This significantly limits the design possibilities, since in this case the door is one of the main elements of the interior and, if desired, it is difficult to hide it.

However, a modern interior requires a minimum of detail. This led to the creation of jambs without platbands.

Door structures for a bathroom or, for example, entrance doors can be assembled independently, if we take into account our recommendations. Metal structures are best secured with special nails.

The flush-to-wall unit, without a box or trim, makes even a classic design unique. With this solution, only a small gap in the wall is visible, which can be painted in the color of the walls. To install the door in the same plane with the wall, a special hidden box is used, which is not visually visible. The only fragment that remains visible is a small gap between the canvas and the box. The door panel can be chosen in any color, it can also be a continuation of the pattern on the wall. Thanks to the use of hidden hinges and the absence of all the usual door trims, it is located in the same plane with the wall.

This solution will suit both modern and classic interiors. The space visually expands, you can resort to an elegant, subtle style. Such blocks also gained popularity in the loft style. The door leaf can be covered with wallpaper or photo wallpaper, perfectly fitting into a single plane with an industrial design.

The thickness of the canvas in this case is equal to the thickness of the wall. In this case, the panel is made from a frame or from a low density solid mass, which makes the structure rather light.

Let's consider in what cases it is necessary to put doors without platbands.

• If there are many doors in the room, then massive wooden structures with platbands significantly overload the space. Invisible doors will make the walkways more invisible, which will significantly relieve space.
• In the presence of narrow doorways that do not allow the installation of platbands, or openings associated with the wall.
• Rooms with rounded walls or irregular shapes. Non-standard layout requires non-standard solutions.

• When interior design is minimalist or high-tech, requiring a minimum of details and clear lines, they look good in modern style.
• For decorating a nursery. The use of hidden handles and hinges significantly increases injury safety.
• When it is necessary to visually expand the space, especially if the room is small. Decorating a room in an artistic style, the use of secret structures will allow you not to be limited by the space defined by the passage.
• It is necessary to install a door that is invisible or invisible. Blocks without platbands blend in with the surface finish, making them invisible.

The use of invisible doors gives a great advantage in creating a modern original interior design, different from classic solutions. Frames without platbands allow you to design the most unusual projects. This opportunity appeared thanks to the use of hidden door frames. When placed flush with a wall, it becomes almost invisible.

In addition to hidden door frames, a number of elements are used, such as special hidden hinges, magnetic or hidden locks, magnetic seals, hidden handles. This hardware allows you to achieve maximum realism when simulating the surface.

There are many materials and styles of door leaf finishing. The use of non-standard solutions will allow the canvases to be used as wall decoration. Such panels are made from exotic wood species, painted with acrylic paints in the colors of the general palette of the room. Acrylic paints are used both glossy and matte. It is also possible to use exclusive materials such as Swarovski crystals.

The most popular finishing materials:

• covering with acrylic paint;
• ordinary and structural plaster;
• panels with different textures;
• veneer covering;
• mosaic;
• mirror coating;
• leather cover;
• wallpaper.

Blocks with a hidden box have a number of advantages over classic interior doors:

• comfort and functionality;
• implementation of unique projects;
• sound and heat insulation;
• a large selection of finishing materials and colors;
• the ability to completely hide the passage;
• modern individual design;
• robust and reliable construction.

The design of the hidden door frame allows to increase the thickness of the door leaf up to 50 mm. This solution effectively affects the level of noise reduction.

Cloths are made up to 1300x3500 mm in size. Sometimes the height of the panels is equal to the height of the room in which the unit will be installed. The thickness of the blade is 40 to 60 mm. The solid thickness gives a significant increase in sound insulation. This solution is achieved through the use of innovative technologies.

The installation of a hidden structure requires more time and effort than classic interior doors. It is recommended to install a hidden box when building walls, so when planning a renovation, you should think about installation in advance. Depending on the material from which the partitions are made, the installation method may differ.

In brick walls, gas silicate blocks, the installation of the box is carried out before applying the plaster. In plasterboard partitions, installation is carried out on a metal profile frame. The box is installed into the finished walls after removing the plaster near the doorway. After installation, plaster is applied or sheets of drywall are attached, which makes the box hidden.

The prerequisite for the installation of a hidden frame is a wall thickness of at least 10 cm. This allows assembly in most types of load-bearing walls and partitions. It is important that during installation, the dimensions of the passage where the box will be installed do not create difficulties for its installation. And also it is necessary to take into account that the door will be exposed on a horizontal and vertical level.

If you do not have sufficient experience to install concealed interior doors, it is better to resort to the services of experienced craftsmen. Installer services are also offered by the manufacturer or supplier. In this case, the installation is covered by the warranty.

Installation is best done before finishing the floor. The box is installed on special anchors. To level the frame horizontally and horizontally, use a level and mounting wedges. After that, the gap between the box and the wall is filled with two-component assembly foam. Then a special highly elastic solution is applied to the box to prevent the formation of cracks between the plaster or drywall and the frame. The use of a special solution is preferable to reinforced mesh or non-woven fabric, since these materials poorly provide contact during surface vibrations.

Any error in dimensions can lead to the fact that the panel simply will not open completely, the gaps will be too large and form a noticeable gap. If the canvas has become quite massive due to its size, then additional loops are installed.

Hidden doors have appeared relatively recently, while they are already successfully used in modern offices, restaurants and institutions. Wishing to add solidity to the company, using modern trends in interior design, they make the use of blocks without platbands indispensable.

Various applications have led to the creation of various types of structures:

• swing doors with left or right canopy;
• retractable structures with a retractable canvas of the coupe type;
• double-sided opening in both directions;
• double swing structures;
• rotary schemes.

Hidden interior doors combine minimalism and functionality, making them an indispensable attribute of modern interiors, giving them a harmonious and elegant look. The use of an aluminum frame makes the structure more reliable and more durable than the classics. And special fittings such as a magnetic lock, hidden hinges, hidden handles make the door practically invisible against the background of the wall.
