Open steel pivot door with glass between two living spaces

Steel doors

Pivot doors

A pivot door does not hang on hinges in the frame but turns on a pivot point in the floor and at the top. That allows the door to be wider and taller than an ordinary door, and when open it stands as a plane in the room.

Overview

A door that turns on its own axis

When the pivot sits some way in from the side, part of the leaf swings into one room and part into the other, and when open there are passages on both sides. The door becomes part of the layout, even when it stands open. Where the pivot goes is decided per opening.

In steel and glass a pivot door stays light in appearance, even at large sizes. The division of the glass and the position of the pivot are designed per opening.

The bottom pivot is set into the floor. With a new floor, such as a poured floor, we coordinate its position and height with the floor build-up, so that the floor runs on uninterrupted up to the door.
