The door panel is top-hung from a track that allows the door to slide from side to side. ECLISSE systems are made from galvanised steel and aluminium. They have been comprehensively tested for reliability and robustness making them suitable for use anywhere in the home including the bathroom. ECLISSE offer pocket systems to suit 10 standard UK door sizes, the three standard Irish standard door sizes, plus bespoke sizes. They can be used with your choice of timber doors as well as with a wide range of fully tempered frameless glass doors, to add a touch of elegance. Inventive Ways to Create Space and Make Better Use of Available Space ECLISSE pocket door systems are an excellent way to create more usable space. Using a track, doors are top-hung rather than side-hinged to enable the door to slide into a side pocket which frees up the space that would otherwise be taken up by the arc of the door, as well as the wall space behind. As well as enhancing the flow of the property this freeing up of otherwise unusable space also offers opportunities for free-standing shelving or artwork. Without a door encroaching into the room, you will also be able to move furniture closer to the edges of the room – creating more usable space in the centre of the room which will make the room feel more spacious. The functional nature, but creative designs, of glass pocket doors, also makes them an excellent choice for smaller rooms such as utility rooms or ensuites. Additionally, anyone that works from home might consider using a pocket door to partition off a workstation or home office allowing them to create a sense of division between workspace and personal space. Telescopic pocket doors can be used for wider openings, and are a great way to make more inventive use of open plan space allowing areas to be divided off when required such as between a lounge and a dining room, or to partition off a room when guests are in the home. Pocket Doors Offer a Fantastic Return on Investment Apartments and luxury flats can be very restricted in size making it vital that every square metre is utilised to its maximum potential. By installing pocket doors instead of traditional hinged doors 8% of usable space can be gained in a 100m2 layout. In Kensington and Chelsea that equates to a whopping £228,000, whilst even in North East England where property prices are cheapest it still adds up to a very bankable £12,544 – a fantastic return on the comparatively small investment of installing pocket doors.
