INTACT INTELLIGENT INSTALLATION

The client visited our San Francisco showroom and immediately witnessed the outstanding quality and features of Insensation Frameless Doors.  The order was delivered 8 weeks later, and the contractor, who had never installed frameless doors before, excelled in using our pre-assembled doors to achieve amazing results.

Kudos to the contractor and architect for planning and implementing the gorgeous museum finish base.

Insensation is pleased to announce the start of our 30th year in business.

Insensation, the frameless and armored door company known for its minimalist XXL doors, was founded by Richard Gelles, who envisioned the brand and leads its growth. In 30 years, we expanded from our original location in Basel, Switzerland to serve clients in 14 countries in Europe and across the USA with 7 unique showrooms for contractors and architects.

For 30 years, we have developed minimalist products and introduced world-class architects to a wide range of frameless technologies which have subtly altered the course of interior design in everything from tiny woodland homes to massive luxury towers.

For 30 years, we have enjoyed every minute working with exceptional architects, contractors, designers and our own group of engineers and product gurus who have pushed the boundaries of wood, metal and mechanics in door design.

Throughout 2026, we will be releasing new products, new locations and announcing major projects that we have been preparing.

A huge thank you to our families, friends, clients, collaborators, architects, contractors, suppliers, engineers, logistic providers and all who have made our original slogan CREATE A SENSATION a reality in thousands of homes.

Insensation has the honor of working with Hawk + Co and their award-winning designer, Summer Jensen, on a few projects in Southern California this year. Jensen’s work impressed us at first glance with her detailed planning and design and synergy with our own appreciation of luxe minimalism. Thoughtful sustainable materials, white oak floors, polished plaster, dark bronze, ultra modern amenities – are all apparent in her impressive works of art.

Insensation is pleased to announce phenomenal pricing on all our oak frameless doors. While other companies charge hundreds of dollars for oak finishes, Insensation’s 20 real oak finishes are available for $195 more per door over our lacquered doors. In white or wood finishes, Insensation’s pre-assembled doors save time and money in installation costs. Other companies charge $600 plus for real wood veneers and their selection is not half as large as ours.

When manufacturing wood veneer doors, there are several aspects which differentiate Insensation doors from others on the market.

1. Insensation only uses real wood veneers sourced from Italy. Insensation does not manufacture laminate doors. Laminate is plastic, and belongs on cheap furniture, not high-end doors. There is a huge quality difference between real wood and plastic.

2. Most companies manufacturing wood doors create their edges out of edge bands. Edge bands are laminated onto the edge of the door using heat or adhesive tape to apply. Edge banding is an inexpensive way to create door edges. They often de-laminate, or peel off after some time.

3. Insensation wood doors have solid wood edges, made of the same wood as the door surface. These are durable and of significantly higher quality than edge bands. Solid wood adds a premium natural wood finish to doors, improving their look and making it an excellent choice for luxurious interiors.

4. Insensation does not use pine wood like the cheap doors sold at Home Depot and Wayfair. Insensation uses birch or oak for framing – high quality doors require high-quality wood.

SYLVAN ROCK WEBSITE

Sylvan Rock is the first of its kind micro compound luxury residential real estate development, created by S3 Architecture, the first private residential estate designed by Aston Martin.

Sylvan Rock firmly embraces the natural landscape, subscribing to the thesis a residence and the land that it lives in should blend together seamlessly. Located on 55 beautiful acres of land in Rhinebeck, New York, only 90 minutes from Manhattan, the project is a truly visionary example of elegant architecture responding to a re-imagined modern lifestyle.

SYLVAN ROCK X ASTON MARTIN
“The estate is a strong marriage of design sensibilities. Creating a luxury residence with warm textures, bold forms and exceptional privacy is very aligned with Aston Martin’s own vision. We wanted the owner and their guests to experience the three-dimensional feel of the house in an organic way, just like you experience one of our cars – there is no single façade that dominates. Fully integrated into its surroundings and the community, Sylvan Rock is rare example of a complete residential work of art.”
– Cathal Loughnane, Head of Aston Martin Partnerships

S3 ARCHITECTURE AND THE UPSTATE MODERNIST
Blending a distinctly modernist aesthetic with natural materials, warm textures and traditional forms, the Upstate Modernist™ collection of homes by S3 Architecture offers a re-imagined modern lifestyle. Each property starts with a preservation-focused plan maintaining natural spaces and sight lines. Every home is unique and site specific, designed to respond to the natural characteristics of the land on which it sits and built with sustainable and efficient building techniques.
