Innovative Pocket & Sliding Doors For Any Home
Pocket doors, as well as sliding pocket doors, function by sliding into a pocket in the wall, creating an unobstructed opening that makes entering and exiting a room seamless and are an affordable design solution! Sliding doors bring innovative design features to a variety of homes, while pocket systems maximise the space your home holds, ensuring you have a spacious, retractable door system that doesn’t compromise your interior’s style.
The doors slide on an extended track into a pocket that can be found hidden inside of your wall. This allows you to create a completely seamless opening that can connect one room to another, particularly effective where you wish to retain the option of open-plan living but with the ability to close areas off if desired.

Differences Between Pocket & Sliding Doors
We supply both pocket and sliding doors which can be installed in any home. The difference between an internal pocket door and a sliding door system is through their main functions.
They can be installed onto existing walls, but they are most often installed in new construction because they require the cavity wall to be built around the track and framework. The pocket system can be constructed against an existing wall, with the new wall built-out on one side.
A pocket door slides into a hidden compartment that is concealed by a plasterboard wall. A sliding door, however, does not have these mechanisms and is simply a sliding door that travels across the face of a wall, remaining visible at all times.

When it comes to deciding when to use a pocket door, there are several factors to consider. Pocket doors are ideal for areas where space is limited, such as small apartments or hallways. They can also be used in larger spaces to create an open plan living area or to separate two rooms without compromising on style. Additionally, pocket doors can be used in bathrooms and bedrooms for added privacy and convenience
Theoretically yes, you can put a pocket door onto any wall. However a new wall must always be built - but it can be fixed onto an existing wall. It is important to ensure that if you are going to place the new 'pocket wall' against an existing wall that the existing wall is strong enough. Additionally you will need to make sure that there are no electrical wires or plumbing pipes running through the existing wall cavity at places where you would tie the pocket system onto this wall.
