Choosing concealed door frames is a decision that can significantly impact the aesthetics and functionality of your interior.Concealed frames not only support a clean, minimalist look, but also allow for a seamless connection between rooms. In this article, we’ll share practical advice and tips on how to choose the ideal concealed frames that suit both your space and style..
Different types of concealed door frames and their uses.
Concealed door frames come in various designs, each suited to different types of spaces and purposes. When choosing the right frame, it’s important to consider both the aesthetic demands and the functional requirements of the room.
Here are four main types of concealed door frames and their optimal use:
Frames with a head jamb
This type of concealed frame includes a top frame element that encloses the door from above, providing additional stability and strength. It’s ideal for spaces where door structure needs reinforcement or where durability is a priority. Commonly used in commercial environments or in rooms with taller doors.
Headless frames
Headless concealed frames allow for a continuous wall line without interruption from a top frame, creating a clean, ultra-minimalist look. These are best suited for interiors where maximum visual simplicity is desired.
Reversed frames
These frames are designed for doors that are flush with the wall on a specific side while opening into the room. Reverse opening provides a visually clean appearance from one side, helping the door blend more seamlessly into the space. Recommended for minimalist residential interiors or office spaces where visual harmony is key.
Standard concealed frames
Standard concealed frames without reversed opening are a great option when you want the door to open towards you and align flush with the wall on the front-facing side.
The importance of correct dimensions and compatibility with different door thicknesses
When choosing concealed door frames, it is essential to consider the dimensions and compatibility with specific doors:
Frame dimensions: Standard frame height ranges between 1970 mm and 3000 mm, with the width being variable depending on the door size. Always verify that the frame matches the dimensions of the door opening.
Door thickness: Some frames are only compatible with doors of a specific thickness. For example, 4DOORS40 frames are designed for doors with a thickness of 40 mm, while 4DOORS50 are suitable for doors with a thickness of 50 mm.
For 4DOORS40 and 4DOORS50 profiles, the construction opening must be prepared 60 mm higher and 120 mm wider than the door dimensions. This space allows for easy installation and proper anchoring of the frame into the wall, achieving a clean and stable result consistent with a minimalist look.
Color and material harmony with the interior
Another important factor is the choice of material and color to match the interior:
Materials
Aluminum is a versatile and durable material suitable for both modern and industrial interiors. It can be matched with plaster, ceramic cladding, concrete finishes, wallpaper, or even wooden panels.
Color finishes
Concealed frames should remain subtle. Choose neutral tones that blend with the surrounding wall or opt for a contrasting shade to create an interesting visual effect.
Choosing concealed door frames can significantly enhance your interior not only aesthetically but also functionally. Whether it's about selecting the right material, proper dimensions, or maintenance, pay attention to the details that will ensure their long-lasting durability and beauty.
