The impression nøforce creates is of an object with an elegant lightness that literally floats on air. Based on magnetic levitation, this technological innovation for openings means that doors that weigh as much as a ton are both easy to operate and light in appearance. Carminati introduced the technology to its Skyline Minimal Frames collection, which eventually led to the creation of nøforce.
The nøforce door is a lift-and-slide design made of timber with minimalist looks. It harnesses the properties of passive magnetic levitation for its movement and offers a range of models weighing up to a ton. The striking feature of the technology is that it’s able to keep an object suspended in air without any external energy source acting upon it. Magnetic levitation is created when the repulsion generated by two magnetic fields equalizes the weight of the object it’s used to support.
The performance of nøforce is further enhanced by its patented recessed magnetic slider system developed by IronLev. Its combination of technological innovation and minimalist design means that nøforce has highly versatile applications, from new builds to renovations, to which the product adds a hi-tech touch of elegant modernity.
Making heavy doors light and easy to operate is certainly a key advantage of nøforce for a wide range of people, from children to the elderly and people with reduced mobility. But these aren’t the only benefits of the system, which also offers superior performance in terms of watertightness, insulation, weather resistance, silent operation, and reduced wear resulting from the absence of friction and mechanical components, such as hinges and tracks. The product can also contribute to the overall energy efficiency of a building since it doesn’t require continuous electricity or motors.
It’s also important to note that there’s no dispersion of magnetic fields; that is, the magnetic system only affects the space within the recessed guide, has no negative effects on people’s health, and doesn’t create interference with electronic devices.
Technological innovations in windows and doors play a key role in the future of construction and architecture, opening up new perspectives and new ways of perceiving space. This means that doors and windows are no longer just technical components but essential elements for improving energy efficiency, safety, living comfort, aesthetics, and, last but not least, functionality.
