THE RISE AND RISE OF POCKET DOORS
Throughout the last 10 years the use of pocket doors in commercial and domestic developments has increased more than 10 fold and the reasons behind this impressive performance are very simple .
The basic philosophy of pocket doors is MORE SPACE . If you consider an apartment of 100 sq . m . using pocket doors instead of hinged doors in effect you create almost 10 % more usable space . All the space behind the door becomes practical , usable space . Chairs , tables , bookshelves etc . can all be placed in the space that was ‘ behind the door ’ and with costs per sq . m . increasing all the time this extra space is available at a relatively small cost .
Pocket Doors are sliding doors and sliding doors have suffered from the bad reputation from many years ago when they were unreliable and jumped off the tracks easily . The development of a specific product for pocket doors made from steel not wood with enclosed runners that can ’ t jump off the rails and with all parts maintenance free have revolutionised the market . The steel structure means the system is strong and not subject to the risk of warping and therefore guaranteeing a great sliding action .
Your design is not compromised when using Pocket Doors as the smart manufacturers offer their systems to fit UK standard door sizes so you can use your choice of door for the project and it works with the pocket door system too !
Finally – PRICE ! The cost of steel pocket door systems with the increase in use and therefore production quantities , has been reduced to very competitive levels . Prices that make them almost a ‘ no brainer ’ when designing new or refurbished areas .
Rocket Door Frames are at the forefront of Pocket Door development offering a steel , maintenance free system to fit UK door sizes with next day availability and prices that will convince you they are currently the best choice in the UK for pocket doors .
