The Value & The Costs of
Concealed Window & Door Frames
The Value
Traditional window and door systems are often surrounded by a track, trim, and/or casing. In contrast, minimal window and door frames can be designed to be entirely concealed. Meaning, the interior finish material and exterior material completely hide the enclosures. This modern design feature minimizes the amount of materials visible and enhances the aesthetic of the home.
When this technique is designed for window-walls or glass sliding doors, it can provide unobstructed views and reduce tripping hazards. With interior doors, this design strategy can allow rooms to either close off for privacy or completely open up the floor plan, depending on the adapting needs of the space. Whatever the scenario, the use minimal and concealed windows/doors provide clean, modern uninterrupted views and lines.
The Costs
The cost of concealed windows and doors is dependent upon installation requirements, but typically requires our team to plan for complex detailing which will perfectly align with the specified windows or doors.
Additionally, construction details must be well thought out to integrate drainage systems, so water cannot find its way into the home. Our team or architects and designers is well equipped to navigate the challenges of designing pristine minimal frame systems that will truly enhance the aesthetics of your new modern home.
