Selo through Faura

Faura specifies and orders Selo doorsets for residential projects, coordinated with the joinery, ironmongery and wall finishes of each scheme.

What Selo makes

Selo describes its vision as simplifying bespoke and complex building methods. Its doorsets are supplied as complete systems, with frames designed to disappear into the wall so that the door reads as part of the surface.

• Innova+: concealed frameless timber doors on pivot hinges, opening inwards or outwards.
• Enigma: sliding pocket doors, launched in 2009 and now presented through Selo's sister website.
• Modulo: adaptable internal timber doorsets, designed to be quick to specify and simple to install.
• Quadra+ and Ligna: fire-rated riser doors that conceal service cupboards; Ligna accepts tiles or decorative plaster for a flush finish.
• Via: concealed access panels, fire rated up to E120 and acoustically rated up to 41 dB.

Innova+ concealed pivot doors

Innova+ uses a split frame that clips around the finished wall, such as stud and plasterboard. Once installed, the wall and jamb are plastered or jointed over for a continuous surface up to the door. The stainless-steel pivot hinge is pre-fitted to the head of the frame and the floor pin is fully concealed, with no floor box needed.

• Sizes: door widths from 400 to 1,100 mm and heights from 1,500 to 2,700 mm.
• Performance: EI30Sa fire rated to BS EN 1634-1, with 28 dB acoustic attenuation for single doors and 32 dB for doubles.
• Door leaf finishes: textured and primed for painting on site, pre-painted to a standard RAL colour, timber veneer or laminate.
• Frame finishes: polyester powder-coated to a RAL colour, or unfinished for site painting.
• Skirting: traditional skirting, or flush skirting for a minimal detail when specified.

Ligna: doors that disappear into tile or plaster

Ligna is a concealed riser doorset for walls finished with tiles or decorative plaster. It arrives as a pre-hung, four-sided doorset with a quick-release pivot hinge, ready to fit into the partition and finish with the chosen wall covering. It accepts tiles up to 12 mm thick, comes with smoke seals as standard and is fire rated up to E60 when tiled and E120 when plastered, with acoustic ratings of 32 to 36 dB.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I see or buy Selo doors in London?

Trade professionals can specify and order Selo through Faura at the Faura Interior Design Residency in Westminster, SW1, by appointment.

Where is Selo based and where are its doors made?

Selo's head office is Selo House in Milton Keynes. Its website describes its products as made in Britain, and its factory moved to Atherstone in 2018.

What is a concealed-frame door?

A door whose frame is hidden within the wall. With Selo's Innova+, the split frame clips around the finished wall and is plastered or jointed over, so the wall surface runs right up to the door leaf.

Can Selo doors be fire rated?

Yes. Innova+ is EI30Sa fire rated to BS EN 1634-1, Ligna riser doors are rated up to E60 when tiled and E120 when plastered, and Via access panels are rated up to E120.

Can a Selo door be tiled or plastered to match the wall?

Yes. Ligna is designed to accept tiles up to 12 mm thick or decorative plaster, so a service cupboard door can disappear into a tiled bathroom or a plastered hallway.

What finishes are available for Innova+ doors?

Door leaves can be textured and primed for site painting, pre-painted to a standard RAL colour, veneered in any timber species or laminated. Frames are powder-coated to a RAL colour or left unfinished for site painting.

Can I get Selo CAD or BIM files?

Yes. Selo publishes CAD drawings, BIM objects, datasheets and installation guides on its website and lists its systems on NBS Source. Faura can collect these into a specification pack for the project.

How much do Selo doors cost?

It depends on the system, size, finish and fire or acoustic performance of each door. Faura prepares trade quotations for each project.

What are the lead times for Selo doors?

Faura confirms timing with Selo for each order, as doorsets are made to suit the size, quantity and finish specified.
