Benefits of sliding pocket door systems

Single Pocket Door Kits

Whenever your clients need a high-quality, space-saving alternative to traditional hinged doors, sliding pocket doors are just one of the recommendations you can make to help them achieve their interior design goals.

Being easy to use and install, and slotting seamlessly into any space, it’s easy to see why they’re a go-to option for many homeowners when upgrading their space – but what exactly are the benefits of sliding pocket door systems?

Discover all you need to know about pocket doors for your next installation in this post with the expert team at Runners.

 

What are pocket doors?

Pocket doors are stunningly stylish and highly practical. They are a great solution to help your clients make the best use of limited floor space and make the most of their home.

Compared to traditional hinged doors that swing outwards when opened, pocket doors slide seamlessly into a hidden wall cavity, thanks to a horizontal runner that continues into this opening.

They can be single or double doors, and at Runners, we supply a range of both single and double pocket door kits to suit whatever project you’re working on. Being easy to fit and incredibly durable, you can be confident they’re the best choice for whatever project you’re working on.

Our single and double Glide adjustable pocket door kits, for example, are designed specifically for use with bespoke pocket doors to meet your clients’ requirements.

Being smooth rolling, simple to install and fully adjustable, these kits can be used with a range of different-sized timber, metal or glass panel doors, and are the ideal choice for your clients seeking a safe, long-lasting solution.

Where can pocket doors be used?

Sliding pocket doors can be used, and look great, in any area of the home, but they’re a particularly popular choice for:

  • Dining rooms

For those who want to create a large area for dining and entertaining, but also want the option to divide their living space, pocket doors are an excellent choice.

  • Bathrooms

If a client wants to separate their en-suite bathroom from their sleeping space, a pocket door is the ideal solution. They can also be used in smaller main bathrooms to help save space.

  • Dressing rooms

For your clients that have dedicated dressing rooms, a pocket door makes a glamorous addition to the area, helping them make the most of available square footage while keeping the area closed off when not in use.

  • Home office spaces

The work-from-home lifestyle is still as popular as ever, and a pocket door could be the thing to help your clients achieve the perfect work-life balance.

Disappearing into the wall when open and not in use, and gliding quietly closed when peace and quiet is needed during virtual meetings or to keep work out of sight and out of mind when logging off for the weekend. Pocket doors make the ideal addition to any home office space.

  • Wardrobes

Built-in wardrobes combined with pocket doors are the ultimate space-saving solution for smaller bedrooms. Wardrobe pocket doors are also much more practical as opposed to traditional outward swinging doors.

Double Pocket Door Kits

How can your clients benefit from having pocket doors installed?

There are many ways your clients can benefit from having pocked doors installed, including:

  • Increased floor space

As we’ve touched on previously, sliding pocket doors are the ideal solution to help customers dealing with limited space make the most of their available square footage. They may even make a space feel larger, by creating an open-concept feel. 

  • Convenient connections

Speaking of open-concepts, pocket doors act as a seamless transition between any two spaces – be it from the kitchen to the dining room, or the bedroom to the en-suite bathroom – improving the flow of an entire home and making it feel much more spacious.

  • Enhanced privacy

For areas where physical privacy is non-negotiable – like the bathroom, dressing room or home office – a pocket door is the perfect choice.

They can separate any space, and provide privacy when it is needed, as well as conceal anything your clients want to be hidden from view of guests and visitors.

  • Easy installation

All Runners products, including our pocket door kits, are designed to be as easy to install as possible.

Our kits come complete with all the parts you need, as well as a set of detailed, step-by-step instructions to help you complete an expert installation for your clients every time.
