Innovative pocket sliding doors

Aluminium sliding doors that slide into a pocket in the wall to create a completely unobstructed opening are the latest trend for those completing extensions or building modern new homes.

The traditional drawback of sliding doors has been that, because the doors slide behind a fixed panel at one (or either) end, you do not get a completely unobstructed opening like you do with bi-folding doors.
Pocket sliding doors change all that because the door panels slide on an extended track into a pocket on the inside of the wall, it's possible to create a full opening that allows you to seamlessly connect your home and garden when the doors are slid into the pocket, while large glass panels and slim aluminium frames are perfect for letting in light when closed.

An extended track is available for all our SVG20, SVG30 and SVG83 aluminium sliding door systems, giving you complete flexibility for your project.

Pocket sliding doors bring flexibility to your home.

The biggest advantage of sliding doors

They help you make the most of the space in your home. Traditional doors that swing outward often take up a lot of space. Installing a sliding door is therefore an innovative solution to counteract this and create more space.

This is especially true for smaller rooms such as bathrooms, en-suites, utility rooms and storage rooms, as installing pocket sliding doors can help save space for appliances.
If your home has narrow corridors or passageways, it's even more important to save as much space as possible. Again, pocket sliding doors can help, sliding into sections of wall and giving you unobstructed passage.

Make the most of your space.

Not only can pocket sliding doors help you save space, but they also bring more flexibility to your home.
This type of door can help to connect several rooms together, rather than separating them into their individual areas. For example, if you install sliding doors between the kitchen and dining room, or living room and sun-room or conservatory, it can create a sense of togetherness - especially if people are sitting in different rooms.
If you're a fan of open-plan design, these doors can also help with that, because when they're fully open, they create large open spaces - ideal for social occasions.

Sliding doors look great.

Sliding doors aren't just practical, they also  look aesthetically pleasing. Regardless of which material you opt for they bring an element of modernisation to any home.
Different materials also suit different rooms: aluminium sliding doors, for example, are a popular choice for a terrace, sun-room or conservatory leading to the garden.
If you like, you can also tailor the design of each door to the room it's in, or even incorporate the look of the sliding doors into the overall theme of your home.

Sliding doors can also help when you need peace & quiet to work or study, because many of the materials used are suitable for reducing noise to a minimum.
