FRAMELESS SLIDE

June 3, 2020

New York, 3 June 2020

Living in a busy world requires reduction – explicitly reduced living and work environments, where sensual overload is no longer desired or required.

Insensation has been specialized in frameless door technologies for over 15 years.    Our experience has shown us how to implement outstanding, reliable and easily-installed doors using state-of-the-art technology, locking, cores and frame design.   We don’t add bits of wood or leave the contractor with a pile of parts.  Our solutions are thought out, evolved and affordable.

We are proud to round out our complete frameless line of doors, SWING, POCKET and now SLIDE.    The new FSL1 Frameless Slide uses an invisible guide system.  The soft-closing features are standard and the door leafs are 2” thick – we’ve always believed a heavy door makes a better impression in high-end real estate.

Enjoy our new FSL1 Frameless Slide doors in your next project.

MINIMALISM IN NEW YORK

December 28, 2019

This 19th Century Italianate brick row house, located in Ft Greene, Brooklyn, was stripped down to its brick shell and re-built with a 400 square foot, full width, two story rear extension for a young, growing family.

The clients were interested in maintaining the historic character of the street façade but completely recreating the interior environment with a humanist approach to modernism. They requested the house feel like “a jewel in a cardboard box”.

Finishes throughout were selected to complement the owner’s interest in creating a warm, modern environment. The floors are white oak finished for a natural appearance. The walls and various curves are plastered smooth and coated with matte paint to enhance the effect of sunlight and shadows on the various surfaces. Throughout the main floor, arched openings and high baseboards reference the historic townhouse character but are reinterpreted with minimalist, modern detailing. Frameless doors by Insensation were used throughout the house to compliment the discreet minimalist architecture.

FRAMELESS CONSULTING

Insensation is known for its expertise in the use of sustainable aluminum in construction, particularly in the areas of frameless doors. Our 20 year existence, with over 5000 client projects around the world makes us a good choice when considering the cost savings/benefit of implementing aluminum over steel or wood in these areas.

INNOVATION IS THE ONLY WAY TO WIN

January 28, 2018

<< Innovation is the only way to win. >> Steve Jobs

It was an awesome, thrilling and successful 20th year of business for Insensation in 2017. Our third year of servicing North America granted us many opportunities to display our innovation. Our unique staircases were featured in the 2017 New American Home near Orlando, Florida- a high-tech house showcasing the best of new construction products, and were shown for the first time in Interior Design magazine. Talented architects implemented our products in new construction and renovation projects from San Francisco to New York and from Texas to Wisconsin.

Insensation pushed new boundaries in 2017. We launched stairplane®, the first color-anodised, high-grade aluminum staircase with integrated lighting options. We innovated with FS1, a high-end frameless door system specifically designed for US drywall and we engineered a new frameless, accoustic-performing pocket door kit called FP1 which eliminates many of the typical drywall pocket construction problems, while also saving time and complexity during construction. Our interior door product lines were expanded with additional design options, new hardware and new finishes. At the ICFF design show in May, we launched a high-quality collection of European door hardware, which pushes the price envelope in black, white, chrome, copper and nickel door hardware design. Also in 2017, we expanded our North American presence with new operations in Denver, Colorado and we built new demo centres in New York and in Basel, Switzerland, We are proud to now have three centres of excellence in New York | Denver | Basel.

We thank each of our talented clients, architects, contractors and designers, as well as our managers, engineers, manufacturing partners and sales specialists for an unforgettable 20th year. In 2018, you can count on more solid innovation and progress from Insensation. In January 2018, we already launched a unique Order Management System called D3: ‘Design, Define, Deliver’ to provide further comfort and speed in the delivery process for our clients, and we are currently building a very special, new showroom in the New York Design District. This and more coming soon.
