Design in Steel

Design • Function • Efficiency Wall, frame, door – one surface

Door frames have diverse technical and aesthetic tasks: they accommodate the door leaf and fittings and provide a connection to the wall. At the same time they make sure the wall opening is covered in a visually appealing way. Whereas in the past door frames were ornamentally decorated, today the emphasis is on a clear, pure, functional design: fully reflected in flush mounted solutions.

Modern architecture is becoming increasingly dominated by flush mounted door elements – the focus being on a reduction to essentials. The wall, frame and door leaf merge into one unit appealing to purists and those inspired by design. Simple elegance or cool sobriety – the demands on design can best be met using flush mounted elements. The character of a room is established at the entrance area – door frames in steel are an indispensable part of modern interior design.

Design oriented frames from BOS stand out because of their clear lines matching the interior. The technology is integrated, becoming part of the architecture.

BOS Best Of Steel combines frame-design and sustainable building. In the product database of greenbuildingproducts.eu, BOS frames in various designs can be found, which have been evaluated according to the LEED and DGNB criteria.

Frames with shadow groove

Frames with a shadow groove are a timeless classic representing puristic design. According to the installation situation or the visual effect, a U,V or Z form can be chosen.

In combination with concealed hinges, entrance areas can have an elegant yet unobtrusive design. The shadow groove ensures a modest and flush mounted transition from the frame to the wall.

The use of a stainless steel striking plate protects the latch entry case from wear and tear.

Planar soffit frames

Door and frame flush with the corridor wall – the Planar soffit frame makes this possible even if the door opens into the room.

In long (office) corridors with doors opening in different directions, a uniform and serene appearance can be achieved with the Planar soffit frame.

The Planar soffit frame can also be supplied with top-lights and side parts to make rooms and corridors bright and airy.

Sino – frames ´without architraves`

The modern and filigree Sino frame is particularly characterized by its extremely narrow frame architrave of just 4mm.

The entrance area can be designed to be both exclusive and modest. When used in combination with concealed hinges and flush door leaves, the element is virtually invisible, perfectly matching the wall in a similar way to a concealed door.

Sino frames can also be designed as ceiling-high elements, e.g. with a timber infill above the door leaf.

LineaSino – sliding door frames ´without architraves`

The sliding door frame LineaSino is the ideal solution where space is limited, as the room required for opening an active leaf door is rendered unnecessary. An exclusive and yet inconspicuous combination of function and design is achieved through the extremely narrow frame architrave.

The frame and the entry case are completely pre-mounted, allowing a fast and easy installation. The door leaf runs inside the wall.

The sliding door case LineaBox is particularly suitable for entrance areas where an unobtrusively designed through-way is required.

Due to the filigree design, only the door leaf and narrow soffit are actually perceived.
