The advantages of rebate doors
A rebate door gives you the steel-look you want with the least amount of fuss. Because it works with the frame you already have, it turns a dated interior into a modern one. This without the building work that other doors often bring. Discover the main advantages of rebate doors, so you can see whether this is the right steel-look door for your home.
Skip the building work
The biggest advantage of a rebate door is that you can skip the building work. Your existing frame stays in place, so there is no need to break open the wall, and no need to replaster or redecorate. Where a hinged door arrives with its own frame, a rebate door uses the existing one. This keeps the change quick and the mess to a minimum.
This makes a rebate door a strong choice if you want to refresh a room over a weekend rather than plan a full renovation.
You get a neat, closed look
A rebate door closes over the frame instead of fitting inside it, so the edge of the door overlaps slightly when shut. That overlap covers the gap between the door and the frame, which gives a tidy, finished look when the door is closed.
It also means the door closes firmly against the frame, so it shuts tightly and feels solid every time you use it.
Use the steel-look throughout your home
An Emezzi rebate door lets you carry the same steel-look into your whole home, even in rooms where replacing door frames would be too much work. Fit a hinged door or a pivot door where it suits, and use a rebate door elsewhere, so the whole home shares one consistent style. The slim 30 millimetre profile looks identical on both sides, so the door is just as elegant in either room.
Choose the colour and glass yourself
Like every Emezzi door, a rebate door is made to measure, so it fits your interior exactly. Choose the door in the RAL colour that suits your room. The standard finish is black (RAL 9005), but almost any RAL colour is possible. For the glass, pick clear glass or a tinted option such as bronze, grey or matt, depending on how much light and privacy you want.
Go for a light, low-maintenance door
A rebate door is made from aluminium rather than steel, around 15 percent lighter, so it opens and closes with ease. Aluminium also does not rust, so the door keeps its look for years, with little effort. The only maintenance a door needs is an occasional clean with a mild cleaning product.
Is a rebate door the right one for your home?
A rebate door works the best when your existing frame is in good condition and you want a modern door without the upheaval. Keep in mind that a rebate door is only available as a single door, so for a wider door opening, a hinged door is the better option.
