The desire to make a unique and inimitable design led to the creation unusual doors. These are hidden doors without platbands. This design completely merges with the wall. Unusual solution allows you to visually expand the space. The absence of a classic door gives the interior an exceptional look, allowing it to maintain an unrivaled design.
The difference between doors without platbands and traditional ones
Classic door blocks have clearly defined frames. They precisely mark the boundary of the entrance in the wall. The joint between the frame and the wall is covered with platbands. Even if you select the canvas and trim to match the color of the wall, they will stand out noticeably. This significantly limits design possibilities, since in this case the door is one of the main elements of the interior and is difficult to hide if desired.
However, a modern interior requires a minimum of details. This led to the creation of jambs without platbands.
Door designs for the bathroom or, for example, entrance doors can be installed independently if you take into account our recommendations. Metal structures It is best to secure it with special nails.
Invisible doors
A block installed flush with the wall, without a box or trim, even makes classic design unique. With this solution, only a small gap in the wall is visible, which can be painted to match the color of the walls. To install the door in the same plane as the wall, a special hidden box is used, which is not visually visible. The only fragment that remains noticeable is the small gap between the canvas and the box. Door panel You can choose any color, it can also become a continuation of the picture on the wall. Thanks to the use of hidden loops and the absence of the usual door frames it is located in the same plane as the wall.
This solution is suitable for both modern and classic interiors. The space visually expands, you can resort to an elegant, subtle style. Such blocks have also gained popularity in the loft style. The door leaf can be covered with wallpaper or photo wallpaper, ideally fitting into a single plane with industrial design.
If it is necessary to make the passage unnoticeable on both sides, double-sided hidden doors are used. And if the one-sided one is not visible in one room, then the double-sided one is installed flush with the walls in both rooms.
The thickness of the canvas in this case is equal to the thickness of the wall. In this case, the panel is made of a frame or low-density solid wood, which makes the structure quite lightweight.
Scope of application
Let's consider in what cases it is necessary to install doors without platbands.

The box is installed in 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.
Preparing walls for installation
The required condition for installing a hidden frame is a wall thickness of at least 10 cm. This allows assembly in most types load-bearing walls and partitions.

Features of doors with a hidden frame without platband
Nowadays, minimalism is popular, which has also reached the design of doors. A door located in the same plane with the wall is one of current solutions. This design looks strict, with “clean” lines that only emphasize the interior.

Important! There are hidden sliding doors, but they look less impressive due to the special niche formed during installation.
Relatively recently, hidden panels were installed to hide a secret room, but nowadays doors without platbands are assigned a different task. As a rule, such a design is installed if the homeowner wants to veil a large number of doors in the room. Most often, hidden canvases without platbands are installed on the openings of the following rooms: toilets, pantries, dining rooms, kitchens, adjacent rooms, and so on.

Advantages and disadvantages of hidden doors without platbands
The key advantage of canvases with a hidden box is versatility. Such models are installed on openings with different dimensions and geometry. Since there are no platbands in the design, the system is suitable for those places where it is not possible to install a classic door model.
The door acts as important element interior But it is not at all necessary that it “catch” the eye. Hidden installation helps to cope with both tasks: when proper finishing the canvas can be easily hidden or, conversely, visually highlighted. Partially, models without platbands are considered part of the wall. It’s better not to place a shelf on it, but you can hang a picture.
Doors without platbands with a hidden frame and their advantages:
- save free space;
- there is no need to select platbands of the same color as the canvas;
- unusual appearance;
- door with hidden frame – good decision, if you need to “hide” the room from prying eyes;
- increased burglary resistance (hidden hinges cannot be pryed from the outside);
- maintaining the integrity of the interior design of the premises.
The main disadvantage of canvases without platbands with hidden installation is their price. Compared to classic models, they are an order of magnitude more expensive, even if the material, design and other characteristics are similar. If the size or geometry of the opening is non-standard, then the price is even higher. You will also need to pay for the installation of doors with a hidden frame - you must invite a highly qualified specialist. It is better to install such hidden models before starting finishing, that is, at an early stage of repair (this is necessary so that the dimensions of the finished product correspond to the parameters of the opening).
Among the disadvantages, they also note that the door with a hidden frame is noticeable on the back side. The front side is located in the same plane with the wall, but back surface“recessed” into the opening.
Important! If you approach the design issue wisely, the reverse side of such a door can be integrated into the interior of the adjacent room.
Types of hidden invisible doors
Manufacturers presented only a few varieties of canvases without platbands with a hidden box. All types can be divided into two classifications:
- Single sided or double sided. Products are made invisible on both sides or only on one. It is rare that a doorway is hidden on both sides at the same time - the installed structures are small in thickness. Compared to one-sided ones, double-sided ones are made based on the parameters interior partition– usually the opening depth reaches from 75 to 100 mm. Many people believe that models without platbands with a hidden box are quite heavy, but this is not true, because they are made from lightweight materials. In addition, on the one hand they can be decorated with decor, and on the other - made for finishing.
- Opening system. In total, there are several varieties available to choose from: standard swing models with a hidden box, pendulum and rotary doors. The first type is considered budgetary. Pendulum ones are more convenient to use, but are more expensive. Although the third option is called optimal, its price is too high, even if it is simple door, not hidden.
This also includes sliding models, but they do not create the effect of secrecy due to the installed niche.
Materials for making invisible doors with a hidden frame
A wide variety of materials are used for their manufacture: glass, acrylic, PVC, plasterboard, wood, and so on. Each option has both advantages and disadvantages:
- hidden PVC models are difficult to install so that they are not noticeable in the interior;
- Aluminum products are difficult to process and paint;
- glass structures are practical and durable, but in terms of secrecy they are controversial, because the material is transparent and quite noticeable.
Hidden models should be hidden from view in the interior. To implement the idea, several options for covering the canvases are provided:
- under the shade of the walls. Such products are covered with a primer layer, on top of which it is easy to glue wallpaper;
- with finishing. This is an acceptable option if two different rooms have different designs from each other. For example, on one side the canvas is treated with a primer, and on the other with veneer;
- with acrylic or mirror. A mirrored hidden structure without platbands is often installed in a bathroom or small room. For an interior designed in a minimalist style, would be better suited invisible door with acrylic coating.
Types of profiles for invisible doors
As for the hidden box, it is made of two materials: aluminum (more popular) and wood (less popular). Canvases for hidden structures without steel platbands wooden frames, which are covered with chipboard or MDF boards. Another option is solid wood doors. Wood is an excellent material that provides sound insulation and has a long service life. Available analogues are MDF or chipboard. Chipboard boards do not withstand moisture and other negative factors well.
Aluminum profiles exist in two types:
- Type A. It is massive and durable. Width – 76 x 43 mm. A 40 mm thick sheet is installed on it. The ends are even. Opening type: outward. A side will be visible in the door frame, receding by 9 mm.
- Type U. Suitable for opening the leaf both outward and inward. Width – 50 mm. The sheets used must have a thickness of 50 mm. The indentation of the visible side of the box is only 0.3 mm, so this option is more suitable as a “hidden box”.
Important! If necessary, manufacturers can produce doors without trims with non-standard dimensions.

For greater clarity, photos of invisible doors in the interior are presented. Products, despite high price, are quite popular and allow you to transform the premises. They are installed with the aim of visually “unloading” the room, or creating a “secret” passage hidden from prying eyes.
It is possible to purchase interior doors without frames from any large company. GOSTs allow the sale of structures in incomplete sets if the consumer does not need a load-bearing element. For example, to save money and simplify the process assemblies and installation will be helped by fastening the canvas in old frame. In addition, the absence of a box may be explained by the design features of a particular opening system, or it may be an illusion skillfully created by engineers.
Models that do not require framing
The loot as part of the block performs several functions. It holds the sash, taking on its weight, is responsible for a strong connection with the wall, forms an opening with the correct geometry, and gives it decorative integrity. But some engineering solutions are designed in such a way that there is no need to install this component. For example, it makes sense to buy an interior door without a frame when:
- It is planned to install a compartment product outside the aisle. In this case, the rail is fixed in the wall and takes on a load-bearing role. The section does not need additional support. True, the frame in this case can be used for aesthetic reasons. But it is not at all necessary to assemble and install it, wasting time and putting in effort - it’s easy to sheathe the slopes using additional strips. They will emphasize the solidity of the structure and make the opening more neat;
- The system has a folding structure. Such an interior door is made to order without a frame or does not initially require the presence of a full frame. Instead, special bars are often used. The upper element is used for inserting the guide profile. The side ones allow you to secure the blade on one side and install the counter part of the lock on the other.

In combination with an invisible frame, any product looks relevant and laconic. Or you can go the other way and give preference to a smooth canvas primed for painting. With his participation, unique design effects are created. For example, a model can easily be turned into part of a wall by covering it with wallpaper, painting it or hiding it behind ceramic tiles. In addition, interior doors without frames and trim will cope with the role of a picture or mirror;
- hidden hinges internal fastening, which do not affect the appearance of the product, as well as a laconic and functional magnetic lock.

The appearance of the doorway largely depends on the presence of platbands. This decorative element can be represented by straight, rounded, or curly planks. These planks can have various sizes and their main task is to block the junction door frame and walls. It is believed that popular doors without platbands do not have the same integrity or aesthetics. But the designers who create unique interiors, they think differently.
The use of door blocks without platbands
It would seem, where can such a new product be used? It turns out that you can use a hidden box anywhere. There are a lot of styles where these designs look very trendy.
Many items in the interior may not spoil general view premises, however, significantly limit visual perception. The more doors there are in a room, the more limited the room looks. That's why designers came up with door leaves with hidden box. This design simply blends with the interior. As a result, it is possible to create a stylish and unconventional appearance.
Classic interiors
IN classic interiors Quite often you can see hidden doors. Moreover, without platbands the canvas looks very respectable and conveys majesty. In classic interiors, columns, cornices, portals are used as an alternative to these decorative elements - everything that is a luxurious alternative to platbands.
Modern interior design
IN modern interiors there is no pretentiousness and luxury that is often observed in the classics. Modern styles– this is simplicity and conciseness. Here the platbands are superfluous. The fewer different decorations and decorative elements, the better. Less details– more style.
Fashionable today canvases with a hidden box can be seen in modern office premises, in the interiors of city apartments and houses. Since there is nothing superfluous on doors without platbands, they can be used to create a huge number of the most interesting and impressive design solutions. Hidden type door structures can also have different way openings – sliding, swing systems, rotary doors.
Hidden door - visual lightness
Choosing such doors will give the opening a more weightless look. This is the reason for the popularity of such products in modern and classic interiors. For example, such models are purchased if it is necessary to equip them with doors. small rooms. The canvas performs two functions at once. The first is functional, and the second is a visual expansion of space.
Invisible door
These canvases, completely devoid of any frame, are equipped with a hidden box, which is securely hidden behind the wall decoration. For such models, special fittings are also used. These are special screwed-in hinges that cannot be seen from the outside or from the outside. inside door block.
This design allows you to turn the door into a wall. The canvas is almost invisible against the background of the wall decoration. When decorating interiors, many designers try to ensure that the door is finished in the same style as the wall.
Types of hidden doors
So, there can be one-sided or two-sided models. The invisibility of such doors without platbands can be only on one or both sides. Often there is a need to hide only the very presence of a passage on one side. Therefore, one-sided designs are more popular, and one-sided fabric has a smaller thickness.
Double-sided models are produced according to the thickness of the interior partition. There are designs whose thickness can be even 75 and 100 mm. It may seem that such thick canvases are very heavy. But in reality this is not the case. The material from which the doors are made is quite light and the weight of the structure is approximately the same as that of a solid wood product. In addition, the production technology may be different - the canvas may have decorative treatment on one or both sides, and may be intended for further finishing.
There are only a few ways to open it. Thus, there are standard swing mechanisms on hidden canopies, pendulum structures, as well as rotary doors. Swing systems are considered the most affordable. A door with a pendulum design is much more convenient to use. But its price is significantly more expensive. Roto-doors are the most convenient solution, but the cost of such systems is very high. Such interior doors without platbands, even in the simplest configuration, can be quite expensive.
Design Features
Minimalism is now manifested in everything, and this trend is already quite firmly entrenched in door design. The plane of the door structure on the same surface as the wall looks relevant. Strictness is important, as well as clean lines, which can emphasize the sophistication of the design.
In general, as already mentioned, the canvas is installed on hidden or secret hinges. It is thanks to them that we can create such lightweight and elegant designs. The box is fixed to the ceiling without the use of external jumpers, which allows you to increase the space many times over.
There are also sliding structures. However, to get good effect secrecy, sliding systems won't fit. You can use cassette sliding products, but their presence will be revealed by a special niche that is formed during the installation process.
Functional Features
Previously, secret doors were necessary to create some kind of secret room, but today a door without platbands faces other tasks.
Often, such a design is purchased if they want to hide a large number of doors in one room. These can be openings of toilets, pantries, dining rooms, kitchens, adjacent rooms and other premises.
With the help of special fittings and unique handles, you can completely eliminate the risk of household injuries. As for the doors themselves, the main functions are visual expansion or brightening of the room, solving the problem of cluttered rooms, and increasing safety in an apartment with children.
Installation features
Unlike conventional traditional door systems, doors without trims are installed before construction is completed. final finishing wall surfaces. This is convenient when working with a hidden box. The ideal situation is when the walls are already plastered and puttied, but the finishing does not reach the edges of the opening. The dimensions of the opening must fully comply with the manufacturer's recommendations. When installing such structures, there are no large tolerances, and the maximum deviation is up to 10 mm.
It is very important that the wall is as flat as possible. Verticality is also important. Deviations are permissible, but they are a maximum of 1 mm per 1 m of wall. The box is installed in such a way that it can merge with the wall. The canvas is hung on hidden loops. The design of the box provides for maximum ease of installation, high reliability, and the absence of any cracks on the surface of the plaster.
