Invisible door system for compartment doors

Xinnix offers solutions for the invisible integration of compartmentation doors. The doors visually look like their other double doors, but also meet all fire safety requirements. Indeed, the company obtained certification (EI1 30) for fire-resistant interior doors in combination with a wide variety of door hardware.

As a specialist, Xinnix has been designing, creating and manufacturing patented door systems for years, which are completely flush with the wall, with no frames, hinges or other unevenness visible. To do this, they use pre-painted aluminum frames that are mounted in the wall. They come standard with 3D independently adjustable hinges and can be combined with access control, built-in door closers and various types of locks. These systems are used in homes, apartments and offices, but are also ideally suited for integration in public buildings, hospitals, schools and hotels.

"In such buildings, however, it is necessary to compartmentalize, which limits the spread of fire and smoke. This involves dividing the space into different volumes to limit the fire to a particular area, allowing time for evacuation. In this process, the walls and floors of the various compartments must meet a minimum legal level corresponding to the type of building or its function. But partition walls, hatches and doors must also be fireproof sealed," says Xinnix sales manager Laurens Vermeulen. 

"This is why we offer systems that can be perfectly integrated into such demanding applications. Indeed, our frames passed multiple fire resistance tests according to European standards. They are available according to European standards EI130, EI145 and EI260 for single doors and EI130 and EI145 for double doors and this in combination with a wide range of tested hardware. In addition, these hardware underwent durability tests with cycles of 200,000 opening and closing movements according to the EN1191 standard so that the service life of the building elements is guaranteed."

Fire-resistant door system for double doors

These Xinnix compartment doors provide a certain visual tranquility in a long narrow corridor. This is because the walls merge seamlessly into the door surfaces, so the doors with their specific functional properties (fireproof, self-closing and controlled) nevertheless also add aesthetic value to a project. 

"These fire-resistant double doors are visually identical to other interior doors. With Xinnix, these doors do not have door needles because they do not fall in line with the walls. They are equipped with a recessed stop, resulting in a minimalist and sleek design," Vermeulen explains. 

"This door system is equipped with an integrated door closer with closing sequence control, which ensures that the wicket door is held in waiting position until the upright door is closed. An electromagnetic hold-open arm makes built-up electromagnets unnecessary. Thanks to the opening damping, forcefully opened doors are slowed down, while the hydraulic end stop ensures that the door accelerates just before closing." 

With this expansion of the range, the specialist in invisible door systems once again gives designers and architects a new, innovative solution to combine aesthetics and functionality.
