Overview

Odette by NUMAEX

Odette is a flush-to-wall pivot door. The leaf sits in the same plane as the wall on the approach side, with no architrave, no visible frame and no shadow gap, so the opening reads as part of the wall until it moves.

The leaf can be finished to disappear or to declare itself: veneer, laminate, tile, back-painted glass, wood, wall texture, metal skin or wallpaper, factory finished or finished on site to match the wall it sits in. Glass inserts, Tactile and Numartis faces are available where the door should carry light.

Pivots sit at the top and bottom of the leaf rather than in the floor, so there is no floor cutout. Jambs are flush on both sides, so a single profile serves inswing, outswing, push and pull, on plasterboard or brickwork. The leaf is balanced on its pivots, so it needs no door closer. A concealed magnetic catch, a drop seal and a perimeter gasket keep sound, light and conditioned air where they belong.

ODETTE doors sit flush with the wall because the frame is engineered into the masonry, a pre-cast architectural condition, not a post-fit accessory. Hardware is sized to the door, the door to the opening, and the opening to the room. The closer behaves the same after a thousand cycles as after the first.

Installation sequence

Built in, layer by layer.

Every Odette is set into the wall in four stages: sub-frame, cladding, jamb, door. The sub-frame goes in first, the contractor finishes the wall level and plumb around it, then our technicians hang the jamb and the leaf. The drawings below are the ones our site teams work from.

Engineering

What is inside a Odette

01

Hold-Open & Soft-Close Pivots

Pivot hardware is specified by door weight, not door size. Hold-open positions are fixed at 90° and 180° — the door stays where you leave it. Soft-close draws it to the frame in the final 20° of travel. From 100KG to 500KG, the mechanism behaves the same.

02

Clean Verticals

The pivot axis sits entirely within the floor and ceiling fittings. Nothing breaks the vertical glass edge — no hinge knuckle, no plate, no fastener. From either side, the door reads as a single uninterrupted plane.

03

Opens Both Ways

Odette opens inward and outward from the same pivot point. There is no preferred direction — the door belongs equally to both sides of the threshold. A single door serves both rooms.

04

Balanced for Anyone

Setting the pivot 100–150mm from the stile edge offsets the door’s mass across both sides. A 300KG door opens with a single finger — for a child as readily as for a resident in their eighties. No door closer. No overhead mechanism.

05

Drop Seal

A drop seal engages at close, pressing a neoprene blade against the floor. The gap beneath the door — the most direct path for sound, conditioned air, and draughts — closes completely. No dragging against the surface as the door moves.

06

Finishes & Cladding

The aluminium frame is offered in powder coat, anodised, and wood-finish foil. The door leaf accepts tile, laminate, veneer, figured wood, glass, or panel cladding on either face — and the front need not match the reverse. Most things that can be applied to a wall can be applied to an Odette door.

Living Room to Dining Room

Where an open-plan home needs a boundary that can be drawn and erased without architectural consequence, an ODETTE flush pivot door sits precisely within the wall plane and disappears when open. No visible frame, no shadow gap, no reveal interrupting the ceiling line. The door face takes veneer, laminate, tile, or paint to match the surrounding wall exactly — closed, it defines two rooms; open, it ceases to exist as an object. The threshold reads as part of the wall, not an interruption to it.

The door that disappears

A wall, interrupted only when necessary.

Odette allows the wall and opening to become a single architectural composition. Concealed engineering, flush surfaces and precise movement remove visual interruption, leaving only space, light and proportion. The top pivot transfers rotational force without visible hardware; the bottom pivot carries structural load directly into the floor, allowing larger, heavier door leaves with minimal visual hardware. Flush alignment from the approach side.

Schematic, key dimensions and the four-stage sequence.

Heights from 2135 mm to 3658 mm (7 to 12 feet), 2286 mm preferred. Widths from 900 mm to 1200 mm. Sub-frame 56 mm wide by 88 mm deep on each side, entry clear opening 244 mm. The sub-frame is anchored first, the contractor completes the cladding and false ceiling, then our technicians seat the jamb and install the door.
