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

With the panels of the doors sliding on an extended track into a pocket on the internal side of the wall, it is possible to create a complete 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 remain perfect for letting in light when closed.

Not only can pocket sliding doors help you save space, but they can also add an element of flexibility to your home.

These types of doors can help bring numerous rooms together – instead of separating them into their individual areas. For example, installing pocket sliding doors between the kitchen and dining room, or lounge and conservatory can add a sense of togetherness to the home – especially if people are sitting in different rooms.
