Wooden sliding doors for your home’s interior

Posted on by admin

Wooden sliding doors are becoming increasingly popular amongst many homeowners. One of the advantages of sliding doors themselves is the fact that they take up far less space than doors that open outwards.

What’s more, wooden doors are slowly losing any reputation of being less durable than UPVC and aluminium doors, becoming even more liked for their luxury, sophisticated appeal and classic edge.

Like our space-saving bi-folding doors, sliding doors are suitable for both interior and exterior use.

All our wooden sliding doors are manufactured to the highest quality and can be made with varying glass panel configurations to provide varying aesthetics in your home.

Some uses of wooden sliding doors for your home’s interior are as follows:

An interior door for a conservatory or orangery

Wooden sliding doors, particularly double-leafed doors, work well when installed in the entrance of an orangery or conservatory. More glass panels in these doors allows even more sunlight into the main areas of your house through conservatory doors.

Room divider

Some property owners choose to have wooden sliding doors installed to simply act as room dividers between rooms in your property. Wooden sliding doors with glass panels, for example, allow much more natural light into a room than a solid wall or a standard solid wooden door. Sliding doors are also a subtler entrance than hinged doors.

Wardrobe doors

Wooden sliding doors are both aesthetically-pleasing and effective when installed for a walk-in wardrobe. Wooden sliding doors save a considerable amount of space in bedrooms and mean there is less of an issue rising as a result of difficulties when aligning furniture with outwards opening doors etc.

Pantry Door

A wooden sliding door can make a great choice of door for a downstairs pantry, or even as the entrance to a toys and games room. The great thing about wooden sliding doors is the fact that they can be made flush with the wall for an entrance that appears almost like a secret room or extra storage space.
