They open up the retail space so that there is no obvious boundary between inside and outside, while also maximising floor space and removing dead areas. There is a wide choice of styles, shapes and colours available as well as automatic systems to cope with installations where manual handling is not an option. For architects and designers, there are no hindrances at all regarding style – the only major constraint that might be faced with moveable walls is whether or not they will physically fit within the confines of the building. With stacking doors, the size of doors specified is obviously limited by the amount of stacking space available in the parking bays.
