SecretDoors veneered concealed doors on an aluminium frame (Veneered Aluminium Frame Flush Doors) are an innovative engineering solution from ET GROUP that unites the warmth of natural timber grain with the highest degree of structural reliability that metal can offer. Created for premium villas, residences and penthouses in the UAE, these doors deliver flawless leaf geometry and complete integration into a single plane with wall panels.
Engineering excellence and a structural aluminium core
The load-bearing core of the leaf is built from a rigid anodised aluminium profile. The construction has been developed specifically for the intense climatic loads of the Gulf region — the constant contrast with outdoor temperatures, swings in humidity and the uninterrupted operation of air conditioning systems:
- Zero deformation and stable geometry: The aluminium frame completely rules out sagging, bowing and linear expansion of the leaf, even at extreme dimensions (heights of 3.5+ metres).
- Powder coating of the frame in a heat chamber: The visible aluminium edge of the leaf and the concealed door frame can be finished in polymer powder coating from the RAL / NCS palettes in a dedicated heat chamber. This guarantees maximum adhesion, resistance to chipping and a perfect match with the colour of the veneer or the hardware.
- Acoustic and thermal core: The internal layer, combined with the rigid frame, provides effective acoustic insulation for master bedrooms, studies and private areas.
Premium veneer finishes and lacquering
The aluminium frame is faced with fine timber species selected under strict criteria of grain and density:
• Natural wood veneer: An exclusive cut of timber with a unique, unrepeatable figure and expressive texture;
• ALPI engineered veneer (Italy): Engineered veneer with a 100% guarantee of colour stability and consistent figure within a single batch — indispensable when fitting out large-scale B2B projects and long runs of wall panelling;
• Protective matt finish: A coating of European eco-lacquers in a matt or super-matt sheen level (deep matte) protects the timber from UV radiation, fading and everyday damage. Bespoke tinting to match parquet flooring or interior accents is available.
Specification and B2B project support
Leaves are supplied complete with a concealed aluminium door frame, reinforced adjustable Anselmi hinges (Italy), a silent AGB magnetic latch and a British Q-Lon seal. Interior architects, designers and developers in Dubai and Abu Dhabi receive a full package of technical documentation, including CAD/BIM models and detailed junction drawings.
