Small kitchen: choose counterframes for concealed sliding doors
We know that counterframes are a fixed structure that you put on the wall that remains anchored to a
fixed frame of the window frame. This creates a space between the wall and the window frame where you
can put concealed sliding doors.
The latter are the ideal solution when the kitchen is small. We can give you two suggestions, if the kitchen
is dislocated but is only a few square meters, so you cannot install a door, then the ideal solution is a sliding
door.
Or if you have kitchen and living room together, it might be appropriate to divide the area with a similar
door.
To help you in this process, specific counterframes for retractable sliding doors can be installed. We have
two solutions for you:
  • The new age base model: available for sliding doors with one leaf, so there will be little space allocated to
    the counterframe, but it allows you to recover without any doubt, valuable square meters.
  • The new age duet model: suitable for opposing sliding doors, they give more brightness to the spaces, so
    they could be a good solution for those who have in the same room kitchen and living room.
  • The new age tandem model: good for those who choose parallel sliding pocket doors. You will have two
    openings with the installation of a single counterframe.
For the kitchen, can you choose counterframes for drywall?

Counterframes are used to keep concealed sliding doors of different types anchored to the wall; they
originated long ago for masonry walls and exist in different materials.
