LUXE MINIMALISM: HAWK + CO

September 10, 2025

The genius Southern California interior designer Hawk + Co just relocated to a new facility in Laguna Beach.  

HAWK + CO WEBSITE

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 looks forward to publishing more of our collaboration as the year progresses.

NEW : FLUSH HANDLES

September 7, 2025

MINIMAL DESIGN

Linear, coplanar, essential: Our S0800 handle enhances the design of the minimal door and widens the horizons of the interior designer. Design is no longer just a function as the standard lever is.

The S0800 handle offers a secure and comfortable grip. The handle design always remains coherent with the available possibilities of closing: without a key, for the bathroom with a coplanar knob and with a European profile cylinder.

PRE-INSTALLED

Like all Insensation doors, we specialize in making installation as easy as possible. If you order the S0800 on your doors, it will be pre-installed in our factory, saving you hours of work.

MAXIMUM FREEDOM

The S0800 is the first handle that creates a continuity of shape both for swinging, sliding and pocket doors, which have been always very different from the other, and allows the transversality of the handle on all doors of a house.  Like our magnetic locks and 3D concealed hinges, the S0800 is available in silver, black and white.

ALPI WOOD BY DESIGN

August 27, 2025

Insensation is pleased to announce a new line of Italian real wood veneers from ALPI for large-scale, exclusive projects. Made of real wood, ALPIlignum is a non-printed, designable product made by disassembling and reassembling the raw material in infinite ways, creating a limitless number of wood types, finishes and patterns for veneer. The company creates its woods, offering different and novel textural effects inspired by the world of nature and that of design par excellence. A precise design approach hones every phase to transform the material, surpassing conventional parameters of development to achieve true Wood by Design.

ALPIlignum is the base element of production at ALPI. Assiduous research and development combined with technological innovation and artisanship have resulted in a reconstituted wood that is the heart and symbol of the ALPI universe.

The exclusive ALPI veneers are available on all Insensation doors immediately.

PREMIUM OAK DOORS

August 7, 2025

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 $135 more per door over our lacquered white 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.

UPDATED : FS2 FRAMELESS DOORS

July 7, 2025

Our existing advanced FS1 frameless doors are pre-assembled and pre-hung and have 2” thick slabs, Intact Intelligent Installation™, a huge integration of hardware and surface finishes, Slam-Side Protection™ and are being chosen by architects building top quality homes across the USA. The new improved doors and frames are a quantum improvement over all other frames on the US market. We are pleased to release FS2, which costs less than half of any comparable high-end frameless door.

 

New innovative flush handles for both frameless pocket and frameless swing doors.

 

ADVANTAGES

1. Re-designed frames and doors which further eliminate structural problems seen in steel-frame and thin frame products.

2. More tolerance for skim coating and taping, enabling the strongest frameless doors on the market.

3. Integration of new hardware options: advanced flush locks and handles for swing doors and pocket doors.

 

4. Includes One-Person™ installation brackets. One person can easily install these doors, without a video, without a complex instruction guide. Contractors in every state install our doors. For contractors who want to outsource this work, we offer installation services in Florida and New York.

5. Includes pre-assembled door and frame – all components are pre-milled and pre-installed before delivery. Other frameless doors are trying to copy the pre-assembly we have been doing for 5 years, but their doors are thin (poor acoustic) and their pre-assembly usually means all in one box, but not completely pre-milled and pre-assembled like Insensation doors.

 

The new 5/8” version of our Frameless Swing doors also enables the integration of wood panels up to 18 mm.

 

FS2 is now available in both our unique 1/2” and 5/8” drywall versions. Frameless doors have never been so easy to install, so durable, and have so many features for architects and interior designers to express their individuality.

You will enjoy implementing FS2. Better design, faster installations.

SWISS CDF | COMPACT STRENGTH

January 10, 2025

Insensation Frameless Doors lead the market due to our superior thickness, universal-engineered door frame, wide spectrum of hardware and our unique INtact Installation which saves significant time and money on building sites.   10 years ago we introduced the American market to our innovative high-performance door cores.  Now we further innovate the door outer layers with a state-of-the-art material to serve the exclusive needs of our clients.

Our standard door structure is comprised of 2 outer layers of 7 mm MDF and a variable-width high-tech core.   This construction has proven to be superior for longevity, ease of installation and provide unique integration capabilities with emerging components. Other manufacturers typically have 2 or 3 mm outer layers, making for a very weak door construction.  In addition to our already excellent engineering, we are pleased to announce the integration of Swiss CDF (Compact Density Fibreboard) in all our unique frameless doors.

CDF refers to the compactly compressed fibreboard (> 1,000 kg/m3) that gives the product such enormous stability. Thanks to its multi-ply construction, SWISSCDF is predestined for complex and filigree milled structures. SWISSCDF complies with the fire classification according to EN 13501-1 and therefore is also suitable for use in “flame-retardant” areas.

Swiss CDF is the future of modern door construction and is now available as an option on all Insensation doors.

NEW MAGNETIC PERFECTION

November 6, 2023

Insensation’s use of magnetic lockcases in frameless doors goes way back to 2002 when we implemented the first frameless doors in Switzerland. The lack of a visible strike plate was a novelty at that time. Today, Insensation implements magnetic technology across a wide spectrum of functionality.

Magnetic Lockcases come in several versions for passage, privacy and security locks.

Magnetic Rollers are used to hold closet doors shut, and are recessed into our frames and doors.

Magnetic NoHa (No Handle) is used when clients want absolute minimalism with no levers.

Magnetic Stoppers are sunk into floors and doors to hold them from hitting the walls.
