Modular partitions
The most important revolution in domestic space. At the end of the 20th century was undoubtedly the “open space” concept. An undivided space perfectly suited to contemporary lifestyles. That focused on flexibility of environments and of furnishings. It is a well-known fact that open spaces give an airier appeal to home environments. But the dispersion of odors from the kitchen to the living room remains a problem to solve. Rafael has designed a “Home system” that allows you to organize the day area in various ways. If necessary, it can be partially divided. While, still maintaining that visual open-space appeal. The Rafael “Home system” includes:
- Modular partitions that separate the kitchen from the lounge.
And that are often transparent (sliding or mounted panels) or full (wall panels). - Sliding glass panels to enclose the cooking area.
- Cupboard units with sliding glass doors. That can accommodate both kitchen units and household appliances.
Equipped Wall
Double panel fitted on both sides that can also contain plumbing and electric connections.
The “Rafael home system” includes a panel system. That divides the kitchen from the living room. And that fits on one side with base units, shelves, and drawers. And on the other side with kitchen elements. Water pipes and electric cables are concealed inside the panel. The 2.6 cm thick Rafael wall panel are fitted with small shelves. While the 6 cm thick panel can also support wall, base and tower units. If, these elements are more than 36 cm deep. It is a good idea to add feet for extra support. An adjustment with a back section welded on a steel top. Must be used preferably on perfectly even walls. To avoid making their unevenness more obvious. Alternatively, fit a back panel to conceal any imperfections in the wall.

Rafael has designed a panel system. That can be used in the kitchen or in the living room or that can divide the two areas. In this case, it fits with a glass panel that runs on a track and that. When necessary, can completely divide the two areas. The panel guarantees utmost flexibility of arrangement.
It is standard in height(it is floor-standing or raised) and width to cover any space.
It fits with accessories that are suitable for the kitchen or for the living room. This panel leaves you free to furnish with coordinated materials and finishes. And to mix functional and aesthetic elements together for rational space-planning.
Fixed Glass

The kitchen is the room where most of the accidents in the home take place. It can be very dangerous place, especially for children. This is why, in addition to the precautions mentioned in the preceding sections. It would be handy to plan a play area for the youngest members of the family. Divided by means of transparent panels that allow you to check up on them while you do your kitchen chores. The glass panels must necessary be impact-resistant. And use a tested ceiling and floor (or wall) fixing system. All the glass used by Rafael is impact-resistant.
Sliding Glass
Sliding glass panels that enclose the whole cooking area.
It is a well-known fact that even the best hoods on the market are not capable of absorbing 100% odors. Rafael has designed an “ideal anti-odor system” that uses sliding glass panels. To completely isolate the cooking area and to stop the odors from escaping. This system even allows you to use a hotplate barbecue in your kitchen. Onfalos is an exclusive furnishing object created entirely from stainless-steel. And featuring a set of original design solutions that have transformed. Even structural elements, that are not usually aesthetically pleasing, into decorative elements. Onfalos is usually fitted near a wall-hung extractor hood. Even capable of capturing the fumes and odors coming from an oven installed facing it.

If, the space available is large enough. It is possible to fit some kitchen elements. In a purpose-made niche enclosed by sliding glass doors. If, the fridge is installed in the niche. It will be necessary to make some openings at the top of the panel above the glass doors. To allow the hot air generated by refrigeration to escape. The aeration holes must have a total minimum surface of 400 cm. To avoid interfering with the efficiency and durability of the refrigerator. And for greater energy-saving. Install, it at a certain distance from heat sources such as radiators, ovens, and hobs.

For the architectural planning of small apartment flats, but also of important villas.
Nowadays, large multi-functional rooms has replaced, formal rooms like the living room and the kitchen.In which it is possible to interact. With the family and friend, eat and cook, relax or spend your spare time in various activities. The need to create partial spaces that at the same time preserve an open, luminous appearance. Is satisfied by using large floor-to-ceiling glass panels. That slide in runners fixed to the ceiling.
