Flush mounted doors: new design ideas (24 photos)

The traditional door unit in sight (platbands, planks) lacks visual lightness, and flush-mounted doors are elegant, concise, consistent with the principle of minimalism.

Appointment

Many hundreds of years ago, similar designs were already used to create secret moves. Today, other relevant goals are being pursued:

• creation of original design solutions;
• creating the illusion of expanding space;
• practicality in equipping auxiliary rooms.

With flush-mounted structures, the room acquires a stylish, original appearance. The door leaf merges with the wall, the inconspicuous arrangement of the hinges does not give it out. The room is increasing visually due to the lack of platbands. When properly mounted, the structures are virtually invisible against the background of the walls surrounding them.

The special design of the hinges (they are hidden in a box) and the door trim identical to the surrounding walls (in texture, color) contribute to the creation of the design effect of invisibility of the door.

Features

Doors have an invisible effect due to a hidden duct. They are distinguished by the following features:

• high quality performance;
• diverse style decisions;
• visual expansion of space;
• different ways of decorating in the style of the interior.

The design can be hidden by installing the web on hidden hinges, special mounting of the frame in the opening.

Doors with hidden effects are different:

• Ready for use designs. However, often with a factory-finished kit, the installation boundary is guessed.
• With the need for decoration. They are only primed. If desired, they can subsequently be painted, decorated with stucco or wallpapered at will.

Like any product, such doors have characteristics with a plus and minus signs, and the first ones are much larger:

• stealth, merging with the wall;
• space saving, provided by the lack of platband, the ability to install in narrower places;
• ease of use in non-standard openings (under the stairs, in places with a sloping ceiling, in the attic);
• expansion of the light opening;
• the possibility of non-standard dimensions and shapes (the configuration is not only rectangular);
• the versatility of the decoration options, up to the location of the picture on it;
• reliability, strength, durability of the structure;
• convenience and ease of installation.

Disadvantages:

• Visibility of some models of interior doors from the back. Although the latest design uses a door that is invisible on both sides.
• The need for early installation. It is necessary to foresee everything, prepare the walls in the initial stages, so the type and size of the structure should be determined before repair.
• The relative high cost. Both the price and the installation cost are higher than in the case of a traditional door (rotor doors are considered the most expensive).

Operation methods

The principles of internal and external opening (push or open to oneself) apply. There are sliding doors. In some systems, the discovery is made, for example, by touching in a certain area with a light touch.Hidden handle can be represented by a vertical section.

Elements of the interior door

Canvas treated with white primer. The following actions are performed with it:

• wall-style painting;
• wallpapering;
• decoration;
• disguise behind ceramic tiles;
• artistic emphasis on the general background.

A special box that provides the door leaf in the same plane with the wall. The wall decoration completely hides it. Hinges that are not visible in different positions of the doors (closed, open). Some options can open 180 degrees.

All of these elements contribute to disguise.

Invisible doors for painting

The most common and attractive in quality and price are precisely such doors. They can not always be noticed. Ways to achieve this effect:

• installation without platbands with putty after installation;
• use of latent loops;
• fabric manufacture from a special material;
• the possibility of mounting hidden handles.

Such doors not only share space, but also update the interior design.

Variety of models

There are designs for painting, invisible on one or both sides. On one-sided structures, the web is thinner. By the method of opening are distinguished:

• swing models;
• pendulum;
• space-saving rotor doors (expensive option).

Picking

The set of structures for painting includes:

• hidden aluminum box;
• white sealant;
• hidden loops (closed);
• mesh for plastering;
• canvas (which can be painted, putty, wallpapering);
• special fittings;
• mechanisms for movement.

The kit may include a magnetic lock.

Design Secrets for Invisibility

• To create a positive aesthetic impression, the advice of designers is important.
• The texture and color scheme should match the wall option.
• It is possible to decorate the doors and walls with decorative panels.
• For painting, it is convenient to mask the doors using rectangular panels.
• The cardinal difference between the two sides of the canvas is applied depending on the difference in the interior of the adjacent rooms.
• A special design technique is the exact opposite of finishing a door with a wall material.

Installation of flush mounted doors

With proper installation and professionalism of the installer, none of the elements should not protrude. For the doors, quality material, selection of shades is important. You will need: a false box, drywall, aluminum box, mounting foam, mounting screws, putty.

Process flow

Installation of flush mounted doors takes place in several stages.

1. Training. Processing of the opening for the door, high-quality elimination of bumps, defects. Plaster, putty should not reach the opening by 5 cm. The dimensions of the opening should correspond to the model. Ensures evenness, verticality of the wall (it should be no thinner than 80 mm). Calculate the clearance between the finishing floor and the canvas (4 mm).
2. Installation of the box with the exact observance of the parameters. Screws, bushings or anchors are used for installation. The assembly seam is filled with polyurethane foam. Then, gypsum plasterboard strips are applied and putty is applied.
3. Adjustment of installation of hinges, ensuring the concealment of all cracks Coating the door leaf with primer.
4. Finishing.

Installation is not delayed in time, practically without dust. All openings are factory.

The uniformity of doors is a thing of the past. The operation of flush-mounted doors is a relatively new design trend in interior design. Installation of doors of this type in spaces of small area disproportionate is relevant. The process is not very costly and time consuming. The result improves everyday life, pleases the eye and promotes positive emotions.
