opening doors to the future

There is a big change happening to doors right now throughout the design world

Doors used to be a designer’s nightmare, the last design item to be resolved. You’ve just finished a fantastic room design, contemporary, modernistic, great looking and then, a compromise… how to find a door design that fits in with the overall room design.

This problem has been solved by the use of flush finished doors, a trend that is taking markets by storm.

Using a door panel that is flush to the wall means it can be completely incorporated into the room design, whatever that design is. No longer does the door design have to compromise the overall look.

The door can now be painted exactly the same colour as the walls and in effect ‘disappears’ into the wall. Alternatively it can be painted the perfect contrasting colour for a stunning effect that adds to the overall picture (shown top).

Ideas don’t stop there; any wall design or trend could be included and ‘run’ over

the door surface, effectively completely integrating it into the design (shown right and middle).

So the door’s role in the design has changed, with no more compromises and a complete 100% result.

Rocket Door Frames are at the forefront of this interesting trend, having developed a galvanised steel door frame with invisible hinges that cannot be seen at all but is three-way adjustable for a perfect fit every time. There’s no need to compromise on the door as they are designed to fit UK standard-size doors, so you can choose a designer door or just a flush door and make your design complete.

The frame has perforated edges for plastering perfectly flush with the wall and can be adjusted to fit a wall width from 88mm to 125mm finished wall thickness. With a pull left or pull right opening, you have the flexibility to achieve the result you are looking for (see above, right).

Need a 30-minute fire door approval? The Rocket Door Frame has been fully tested and approved for use with a wide range of FD30 door panels with the simple addition of the Rocket Fire Door Kit. This includes the intumescent strips which are applied to the framework to save you time and effort as there is no need to route out the door edges.
