A pivot door in the kitchen and living room!

A door that makes a difference

What makes these steel doors different than usual? Well, the big difference is in the non-traditional way of 'hanging' .. There are no hinges on the side of the door, but on the top and bottom .. So it rotates on a vertical axis. This allows you, for example, to determine the pivot point of the door and you also do not need frames, which looks incredibly sleek and fits into any interior! The door can also open inwards and outwards and the doors close automatically with soft close: ideal with children! Here the doors are no longer beaten and it no longer takes place in the house after such a small dribbler visited the toilet / picked up a toy from the kitchen design / is playing hide and seek !!! This way no heat escapes to the hall, nice and warm!

New in old ..

Of course, (as with most basic interior parts) it is most ideal to include such a door in your building plans. The doors do not need frames, but it must be possible to drill into the floor and ceiling, for example. If there is underfloor heating at all then that is, a challenge that requires more extensive attention. In our farmhouse we also have to deal with existing construction. An advice conversation is very nice!

All options open (and luckily closed 😜)

Fortunately came to us personally to see what the possibilities are in our house. Because we already had a frame in the wall, we agreed that we would (let) update the things in the frame itself. Furthermore, we were able to put our doors together according to our wishes, because there are many options possible! The dimensions of the doors are, of course, completely exactly to measure, but also consider the division of the surface, the finish of the glass, whether the frame may be provided with boxwork, which corner profile, or putty, the color of the steel, visible or sanded weld seams. and the type of handle. The price is calculated on the basis of all these options.

Completely satisfied!

I find the result very beautiful and practical. The doors between the hallway and our living space were quite a bit of a dislike in our house, because in such an old high building you simply suffer from drafts and heat loss faster. Solving that in a stylish way has turned out to be a lot easier than expected with the arrival of our new acquisitions !!!

Kitchen orientation

A practical layout


You see a beautiful kitchen in a magazine and you feel it immediately. This is going to be him! Be careful with this. Something can look great, but there is another side. Chances are that the kitchen is not suitable for your available space. Then you want to start thinking quickly, that one practical minus ... that makes up for the beauty of the kitchen. 9 out of 10 people regret it. Always put the functional aspect of your kitchen first.

Good ergonomics
Speaking of the practical side of the kitchen, think about your ergonomics too. If a kitchen is not well designed to your personal wishes, this will go wrong. You don't want to walk with a huge backache after six months because you have to bend far forward every time to work on the counter top. Always ask your Kitchen Designers Auckland advisor for advice. It then adjusts all heights to your personal preference. In kitchen orientation, the ergonomic side of a kitchen is often expressed because it is not attractive to put it in a kitchen magazine.
