| Ditec automatically opens the doors in Il Gatto Nero restaurant  Perched on the hill above Cernobbio, in the locality famous worldwide for being home to the renowned Villa d'Este, the charming restaurant called Il Gatto Nero has been open for more than twenty years. Apart from the enchanting and magnificent view over the lake and the city of Como, it also prides itself on being a recognised, sought-after destination for many international guests and VIPs due to its fine dining, its wine cellar and to the friendly welcome extended by owner Fausto Fontana. In this warm, welcoming setting, it is easy to come across international actors, sports stars and key business personalities.The first welcome to greet diners is guaranteed by an efficient TEN model, Ditec sliding door, mounted on a wooden frame crafted by a local carpenter. The choice of the TEN automation is strictly connected to the installation situation. In fact, the light aluminium casing and the small size of only 100 mm ensure that TEN adapts and almost invisibly fits in to the other structural elements. This was a particularly important condition in this case both to conserve the aesthetic impact, since it is mounted on a special wooden frame and because of the small size of the entrance. Il Gatto Nero is located in an old, traditional local home. Obviously the building has undergone very refined restoration works. But the architect decided not to change the particular characteristics of the Como lake homes that were built by stealing what little space was available on the steep hills, with the resulting small entrances. In this case, the lower height of the automation made it possible to install an automatic door without taking away room and comfort from the actual entrance. Ten can also be adjusted vertically thanks to a possible movement of 15 mm. This way it can offset possible non-alignments of floor and supporting beam. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
