We were commissioned to supply bespoke doors for the new ‘Schlafapfelbaum’ secondary school in Eglisau. Lessons have been taking place in this new building since 18 August 2025.

The project involved the installation of interior doors, smoke and fire protection doors, and escape route doors from the second basement level up to the second floor. Numerous batten doors with fix-glazed panels ensure transparency and security. All surfaces are veneered with oak. Continuous veneer extends throughout the classrooms, creating a calm, robust appearance.

A partially open, wood-veneered door in a frame built into the wall; a large glass wall on the right; a red-and-white chequerboard tile pattern on the floor; behind it, a window leading to a balcony and an exposed concrete wall.

Veneer doors combine modern door design with the natural look of real wood. A thin layer of high-quality veneer is applied to stable substrates and finished with oils, stains, glazes, etc. This gives each door a unique grain and feel - from calm and harmonious to lively and striking.
