They say the best way to see if you like something new to the market is to analyze the product’s highest quality example. Although I’ve recently been doing this with over-the-knee boots, I’ve found it a useful tip for analyzing and understanding everything from different trends to new interior design elements. If you’ve ever wondered how to beautifully divide your space and are unsure if a solid pane of glass will look tacky, take a tip from designer Massimo Luca of Albed.

Clear out the Competition with a Quadra Sliding Door or Wall System by Albed

In their technical approach to dividing a space with a door or wall of transparent glass or wood, Quadra stands above its competition not only due to its aesthetics, but also due to the company rooted in tradition. Albed is a division of the esteemed aluminum producer, Delmonte, and their history of industrial manufacturing in Italy. Attending the biggest design show each year in Milan, Albed is a force (in partitions) to be reckoned with.

Choose between sliding doors, normal swinging doors, or walls, the Quadra offers a complete collection of high class doors for every situation. The sliding doors – also known as the Quadra Scorrevole – is a system that comes with tracks and adjustable carriages, allowing the doors to glide along smoothly and silently. The Quadra Scorrevole reintroduces separate structural elements, giving each of them what they call “a leading role, from the handles to the new sliding system mechanics”. Combine this technical information with their gorgeous mirrored, colored, or etched surfaces, as well as clear glass, and you’ve got yourself a state-of-the art door.

On the other hand, the Quadra Parete is the wall system “intended to separate spaces and create surroundings with contrasting glass elements, wood finishes and complanar corners with sliding or hinged openings” says Albed about the wall option. A myriad of choices for what looks to be a simple solution that reinvents your space, the Quadra Parete is fully customizable and is suitable for the home or office space.
