See how these Eclisse sliding doors will revolutionise your space 

You don’t need a group of architectural ironmongers to tell you that space in London and the South East is at a premium, or that it’s only going to get worse. But we can tell you about one of the smartest and most stylish ways to tackle the issue head on.

Eclisse Sliding Doors are, in our opinion, the answer to many of the overcrowding problems faced by people at home and at work. And at a time when we are all crying out for a little more storage, or space for an extra desk, these door systems give you the chance to free up those wasted corners and corridors, whilst making your interiors look fantastic.

A pocket door with a difference

Unlike the rickety sliding doors you may remember from childhood, Eclisse offers a reliable and robust alternative to traditional internal doors. In short, they won’t threaten to become an eyesore over time. They have a unique steel frame pocket system that is inserted into your wall cavity, and the doors glide in and out without the danger of becoming loose or warped.

This also means that the doors shut tight creating a proper barrier between one room and the next. With proper installation there will be no more light or draught pollution than from any traditional door design.

How much space will you really save?

According to Eclisse, use of their sliding door systems can save you a whopping 8% - or 8 square metres in every 100 – of internal space. This is thanks to the fact that there is no intrusion into rooms and corridors caused by more traditional door dimensions. Therefore your rooms’ capacity for extra furniture increases dramatically without having to compromise on comfort or design. This is great news for all space deprived city dwellers.

Stylish design with a practical purpose

Beyond those important practical considerations, Eclisse doors can also transform the internal look and feel of a building into a much more beautiful and functional space.

Eclisse uses an anti-warp profile track that sits underneath the actual door itself. This creates a threshold barrier that disappears when the door is open, meaning a smooth and seamless transition from one room to the next.

It not only opens up a whole new world of exciting contemporary flooring possibilities, but creates a ‘flow’ that just feels more natural and efficient when compared to the usual barriers we have standing in our way as we move from one room to the next.

Increased accessibility

They also make it much easier for people with limited mobility to move between rooms and are especially practical for wheelchair users. This is because there’s no need for any awkward movements when transitioning between rooms.

They can even be bought with a motorised remote control system so they glide open and shut at the push of a button.

How are Eclisse doors installed?

The Eclisse pocket sliding door can be fitted in existing stud or solid walls.

Removing the amount of wall to incorporate the frame is a pretty straightforward job that can be carried out by a builder or even competent DIY enthusiast. If you would prefer to install it alongside your existing wall you can also do that.

If you’re looking to incorporate them into a new build project then head over to our architectural scheduling services section – or just call us on the number above – and we will happily create a schedule from your architectural  drawings for the builders to work with.
