Minimalism has always been a source of aesthetic purity and rigor - both in large architecture and in interior decoration. Straight lines blend with white, while strokes of glass and metal bring life and clarity to the linear geometry of the planes. The restraint of style leaves room for a variety of experiments, emphasizing the sophistication of elegant solutions.
Minimalist trends have introduced and firmly fixed the fashion on doors with a hidden frame, without platbands, with hidden hinges of various types, with canvases, the plane of which is displayed flush with the wall. Aluminum profile door frames are built into the wall, the door can be without an upper cross-beam, being reinforced only on two vertical posts, with the upper edge of the leaf resting against the line of the ceiling.
Leading factories are actively looking for design solutions that allow you to hide the door handle, fit it into the plane of the wall and sash, in order to achieve a complete and absolute fusion of the door with the wall. There are interesting solutions, when, for example, a part of the sash plays the role of a lever handle (Lualdi factory, Rasotouch model), but the most practical is still the classic "ashtray handle" shape.
A sophisticated aesthetic solution of high design was born in the utilitarian quality of a service door that hides passages to secret rooms. Later it turned out that the secret chameleon doors, which do not protrude beyond the plane of the wall, carry a much greater aesthetic load than it was supposed.
The very continuity of the planes of the walls became a style-forming element of design, as soon as it became technically possible to hide the door in the most visible place. The door, as a generalized philosophical category, symbolizes a certain transition, a jump from one state (in space it is a room) to another, and at the moment when it is possible to hide it, completely inscribing it into the adjacent surface, we get a qualitatively different understanding of the surrounding space, which turns from broken to continuous.
The Filomuro di Garofoli collection of doors with hidden frames has developed and harmoniously merged into the stylistic direction of minimalism, which is appreciated and willingly used by young designers, significantly enriching it with new possibilities.
Nowadays, the Filomuro hidden-frame door has been adapted to most of the traditional Garofloli collections, even in the most unusual versions: it can be a sliding door, a swing door, with two leaves, right up to a beveled "mansard" door. Garofoli fits into concealed aluminum frames any flat doors - wood, glass, painted or primed for painting.
The latter type of doors is especially in demand by modern designers, since it allows you to completely disguise the door in the wall, covering it with paint, wallpaper or fabric, wall graphics or painting. Filomuro di Garofoli doors, primed for painting, can be purchased from a warehouse in Moscow, without waiting, as usual, for a personal delivery from Italy. This is especially important since doors with a hidden frame are installed at the stage of wall construction and plastering, much earlier than traditional doors, which are usually needed at the final stage of finishing a room.
Another interesting new design solution is the Filomuro concealed frame door, completely sheathed with wooden wall panels, exactly the same as the adjoining walls.
The wall can also be extended with built-in wardrobes. The narrow metal profiles that frame the doors of such dressing rooms are almost invisible. Well-developed technical details make it possible to combine three dissimilar elements of the interior (door, wall and cabinet) into one continuous plane. The naturalness and brevity of such a solution is based on a solid technical basis, since the elements that have to be connected in one plane have different thicknesses and methods of fastening.
The mirrored door to the dressing room - a convenient and beautiful solution - is implemented in the Filomuro door modification. Two models in an aluminum profile framing the sash - Biglass (glass on both sides) or Panvi (glass-wood panel).
Let's briefly touch on the technical side of the issue. For the production of doors that allow the sash to be flush with the wall, different types of hidden hinges are used. Let's dwell on some of the most popular solutions.
Furniture hinges (Koblenz) are completely hidden, very durable. Features - expensive, heavy, difficult to install outside in the factory, since the installation of such hinges requires milling of deep cavities of complex shape.
Pin - not completely hidden, fastening is possible at two points of the canvas - upper and lower, therefore such hinges are not suitable for high and heavy sashes. The disadvantages also include a large gap between the end of the sash and the wall, which becomes visible when the door is opened.
Speaking of doors with hidden hinges, heavy front doors cannot be ignored. There are unique "space" hinges for them, developed and patented by the Bauxt factory - the manufacturer of original armored entrance doors. Space hinges allow you to adjust the position of the sash along three axes, they are very strong, massive, provide the sash opening completely wide open - by 180 g, while all similar developments of competitors allow you to open the sash only 90-120 degrees, which is extremely inconvenient in door operation. Armored entrance doors can be brought out flush with the wall when opening inward, when opening outward the sash will protrude 10-12 mm beyond the plane of the wall, but even with this type of installation, the absence of visible heavy hinges is a noticeable aesthetic advantage. Aesthetics even in door hinges! This is what distinguishes quality products from consumer goods.
