Pocket Doors

If you’re looking to add a unique feature to your home, you may want to consider something you rarely see; pocket doors. These types of doors are housed inside of your wall, mounted on a track system. Pocket doors give you more options in how you utilize the space in your home. When open, they are hidden away and seem to be non-existent in the space, portraying a more open feeling. When closed, they appear to look like any traditional door.
Pocket doors are a great solution for limited space. They eliminate the area required in a room for the door to swing open and closed. This may give you some additional privacy that wouldn’t be possible with a standard swing door.
Some sliding doors are even mounted on the outside of the door opening. This method still has the benefits of your typical pocket door, but it is used in a decorative fashion and allows you to showcase your door in a unique way.
