"Less is More". The well-known statement emphatically advocated by architect and designer Mies van der Rohe is the perfect way to describe a modern, minimalist and sophisticated approach to architecture. This way of thinking has its roots already at the turn of the century, when in 1908 the Austrian architect Adolf Loos wrote "The absence of ornamentation is a proof of spiritual strength". The art of eliminating the superfluous is still practised today by the best architects, and concerns the design of all architectural elements and furnishings. This does not exclude the entrance door, which can be considered the 'calling card' of any building, an element that reveals its character and that alone is capable of representing an entire architecture.

Following this attitude is Oknoplast, a leading company in the design and manufacture of PVC and aluminium doors and windows, which with its new line of Tenvis Design PRO aluminium doors seeks the perfect mix of security, performance and elegance.

The distinctive feature of the new product is the practical and innovative groove handle, obtained from an elegant recess embedded in the door itself, which guarantees the panel an extremely clean and tidy finish. In fact, the handle, which can sometimes be perceived as a disturbing element, is eliminated, opting for a sophisticated and original handle that can also be backlit with LEDs for a highly suggestive light and shadow effect.

The Design PRO door panels form a solid barrier against all weather conditions. Like the other Tenvis proposals, the Design PRO line is, in fact, equipped with very thick slabs that ensure panel strength from 61 to 76 mm. Its XPS extruded polystyrene thermal cladding also guarantees high fire resistance and also improves the house's energy saving (Ud = 0.84 W/m2K), bringing further benefits in economic terms.

In addition, the Design PRO line is equipped with an automatic lock that allows the door leaf to be locked at three points without the need for a key, with the addition of a ring escutcheon that provides further protection against burglary attempts. All doors can be integrated with the most innovative Smart Home systems that allow opening via smartphone, remote control or fingerprint reader.

To facilitate product choice, so that it is consistent with the style of the home and its façade, Oknoplast offers numerous finishes: from more opaque tones to metallised ones, and even the hyper-realistic wood effect. Tenvis Design Pro is also available with a two-tone effect.
