Floor-to-ceiling concealed doors without architraves – tall interior doors up to 320 cm
Concealed, hidden, architrave-free – these are the names given to doors with a plaster-in frame and no architraves, where the door sits flush with the wall. We make such EGD-LUXUS doors right up to the ceiling: hinged doors up to 3200 mm, sliding doors up to 3600 mm.

Before you choose
Why tall timber doors warp
Conventional tall timber doors warp over time due to changes in temperature or humidity between different rooms – they have to be readjusted constantly.
Concealed doors with a plaster-in frame are not easily replaced: changing the door means redoing the wall finish. That is why tall doors should be chosen with care.
In EGD-LUXUS doors, not only the frame but the entire door leaf frame (core structure) is made of aluminium. As a result, the doors retain their geometry and do not warp.
What to consider
01
Different rooms
A humid bathroom or a cold garage on one side of the door, and a warm room on the other.
02
Finishes of different weight
Heavy tiles on one side of the door, a light MDF board on the other when the door is painted in the wall colour.
03
Heavy finishes
Tiles, quartz or granite slab, mirror – the hinges must carry the door leaf.
04
Replacement
Replacing a door with a plaster-in frame means redoing the wall finish.
Solution
Aluminium frame and aluminium leaf frame
Leaf core structure – aluminium profiles around the entire perimeter; frame – aluminium, plaster-in. The finish is recessed into the leaf frame, so the door sits flush with the wall.

Doors with the same appearance can be acoustic, smoke-tight (LINE 50S – Sa3, S200) and fire-rated (LINE 50F – E 30, EW 30, EI2 30).
Aluminium leaf frame
Leaf core structure – aluminium profiles around the entire perimeter.
Concealed hinges
JNF IN.05.062 with 3D adjustment. The hinges fitted to all EGD-LUXUS doors withstood more than 200 000 opening cycles with an 80 kg door leaf in a laboratory test (GTC, LST EN 1191) – without damage and without additional adjustment.
Aluminium edging
The 4 mm finish is recessed into the leaf frame, and a 3 mm aluminium edge strip protects its edge. Core – Stadur multi-layer thermal insulation board.
Wall finish at the frame
On masonry and plasterboard walls, the finish is brought to approximately 0.5 mm from the frame edge; with wall panels, approximately 2 mm.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about concealed doors
Didn’t find an answer? Write to us.
What is the difference between concealed, hidden and architrave-free doors?
These are different names for the same solution: the frame is plastered in, there are no architraves, and the door sits flush with the wall. EGD-LUXUS doors are made without architraves.
Can the doors reach right up to the ceiling?
Yes. There is a standard frame solution for floor-to-ceiling doors and a non-standard one – for when the leaf reaches the ceiling between rooms and the ceiling is at one level. Details have been developed for plasterboard and concrete ceilings.
How tall can concealed doors be?
Hinged – up to 3200 mm, sliding – up to 3600 mm, acoustic – up to 3200 mm. The height limit works together with the weight limit: the taller the leaf, the narrower it can be.
Why do tall EGD-LUXUS doors not warp?
Not only the frame but the entire door leaf frame (core structure) is made of aluminium. As a result, the doors retain their geometry regardless of whether there is a humid bathroom or a cold garage on one side.
Can the door be painted in the wall colour or covered with wallpaper?
Yes. The primed MDF board is painted in the wall colour – any colour from the RAL palette. Wallpaper, decorative or clay plaster, microcement and tiles are also possible.
Can tiles or a mirror be applied to concealed doors?
Yes, mirror, tiles, quartz and granite slabs are on the list of finishes. According to the manufacturer’s data, for a 900 mm wide leaf, 2 hinges carry 80 kg and 3 hinges carry 120 kg.
Can concealed doors be fire-rated or smoke-tight?
Yes. LINE 50F – fire resistance E 30, EW 30, EI2 30 and smoke tightness Sa3, S200; LINE 50S – smoke tightness Sa3, S200. Both have been assigned self-closing durability class C5. They look the same as the other doors.
