A pivot door offers endless design possibilities, from its dimensions to its applications or its materials. However, the location of a pivot door in a house can also vary infinitely. FritsJurgens has selected the 5 best places in a house to install a pivot door, with the most beautiful pivot door projects.
In the hallway
The hallway is a perfect place for a pivot door. The entrance hall door is often the first door you come across after entering. This door sets the tone for the rest of the interior and, thanks to its location in a transit area, allows many possibilities.
moving through
A corridor is a space through which you move to another space. That is why here you can choose a different style; you can go all out with color and materials or make it a calm and elegant space. This also applies to your pivot door. You can choose all kinds of materials for an interior pivot door, from glass and steel (make sure to check out the colored steel option) to wood, a door with a print or photo, a concrete look, etc.
door movement
A pivot hinge creates a fantastic door movement that is completely different from a normal hinged door. If you include a smooth, controlled movement to your door in your hallway design, a simple step suddenly becomes a warm welcome.

In the living room
Many modern houses have an open kitchen that connects directly to the living room. This offers a feeling of openness and space, but it can also have its drawbacks such as cooking odors, less privacy, and a less welcoming environment.
lights and opening
With a pivot door, or two pivot doors right next to each other, you can retain the openness and light of an open space, while eliminating the drawbacks of that same open space. By choosing a glass pivot door , light continues to flow from room to room while keeping cooking odors and noise out. This also makes it easier to keep the heat in the division.
control and flexibility
One minute you want to create more privacy or comfort in your living room, the next you want to keep the partition open and spacious. A pivot door is the ideal solution to maintain that flexibility. It not only influences the atmosphere in the room, but also determines which hold position the door is in. In this way, you will also have control over the spatial influence of the pivot door in your living room.

In the pantry
The pantry is a great place to install a pivot door in your home. The pantry or closet is often not a place you want to emphasize in your interior. With a pivot door you can easily hide these spaces in the style of the interior.
really hidden
Thanks to the hidden pivot hinge at the top and bottom of the door, no hinges are visible as with a normal door hinge. All you see is a small floor and ceiling plate, available in all sorts of designs. Frameless pivot doors are double-moving and can therefore be opened from both sides without handles. That way, the door will no longer be visible.
just like the wall
You can create a pivot door in all possible materials. That is why you can even opt for the same color or material as the surrounding wall. Because the pivot door requires only minimal space around the door and is perfectly flush with the wall, the door completely disappears in this case.

In the office
More than ever, we work from home. We, too, have known for a long time that the office does not have to be a boring partition in a corner of the house. With a pivot door, you give the partition in which you work a more interesting look that suits the style of the office.
Dual function
In addition to being a beautiful addition to your office interior, a pivot door can also still be a functional application. For example, the passage does not have to be just a passage, it can also function as a library, television or storage unit.

As a room divider
Interior pivot doors can also be perfectly used in large or tall interiors. A pivot wall with several doors is a flexible solution.
Crystal wall
In some cases, a single or double pivot door is not enough and a door in a wall is not a suitable solution. Pivot doors in a glass wall can be the solution that fits almost any interior and creates a bright and open room. Glass and steel are ideal materials for creating large, tall and heavy pivot doors and walls.
360° rotation
The advantage of a pivot wall is that it can be used with or without frames. Without frames, the wall panels can rotate 360°. In this way, it is not only flexible in terms of the impact of the wall on the partition, but also in the design of both sides.
