In Pordenone, a great innovation for living spaces
From 14 to 17 October, Sicam Pordenone is once again confirmed as the unmissable event to discover the innovations that will change the future of furnishing and components for the furniture industry. This year, Cernierificio Valtoce brings to the fair something revolutionary that promises to radically transform the way we conceive interior doors: the K180 system.
In a real estate market where every square meter is worth thousands of euros, continuing to accept solutions that waste precious space no longer makes sense. The K180 system was born from this awareness: each opened traditional door takes one square meter of living space, representing a lost real estate value of over 14,000 euros in large cities, in an average home.
“We are not simply presenting a new door,” explains Thomas Clerici of Cernierificio Valtoce. “We are proposing a new way of conceiving living spaces. K180 is not just a door; it is a system that frees up space and even creates tangible value.”
The heart of the K180 revolution lies in its patented sliding-folding movement, which combines the practicality of a sliding door with the elegance of a door leaf that perfectly integrates into the wall. When opened, the leaf bends and slides, becoming completely coplanar with the wall, regaining 50% of the opening space compared to a traditional door. But the most revolutionary aspect of the K180 system is its universal compatibility: it works with any existing frame, both traditional and rasomuro kind, without requiring expensive masonry work. This feature makes it perfect for new constructions, but, above all, for the renovation market, which represents 70% of the sector.
Cernierificio Valtoce has identified a unique opportunity in the premium rasomuro style market, as K180 is the only folding solution compatible with aluminium frames. In the urban micro living segment, the system meets the needs of increasingly compact metropolitan homes, where recovering 2 square meters can mean an added value of 7,000 euros. Finally, the smart retrofit market is aimed at those who want to renovate without facing invasive and expensive masonry work.
At the Cernierificio Valtoce stand, visitors will be able to enjoy live demonstrations of the K180 system scheduled every two hours. It will be possible to touch the millimetric precision of the compass hinge and watch live the fluid and silent movement that has already fascinated architects and designers in the first pilot installations. The company will also offer technical training sessions for professionals, providing all the necessary tools to fully understand the commercial potential of this innovation. A special opportunity will be offered to fair visitors: a 20% launch discount for all orders placed during the four days of the event.
With an ambitious expansion plan that includes 100 certified installations by December 2025, Cernierificio Valtoce aims to quickly position itself as a national reference for high-end space-saving solutions. The company is already developing a network of partner showrooms throughout Italy and preparing for participation in the Big 5 in Dubai in November, for expansion into international markets.
“The market is ripe for this innovation,” concludes Clerici. “Whoever starts now will dominate their territory. K180 will become the industry standard within three years, and we want Italian professionals to be the first to seize this opportunity. The future of interior doors begins at Sicam 2025: The K180 system is waiting for you to appreciate that we do not just sell doors: we free up space and create value”.
