5 benefits of choosing ECLISSE pocket doors for your home project

Installing ECLISSE pocket doors can help self-builders and homeowners that are renovating, or extending, to make the most of their space while adding wow factor.

Pocket doors slide into a cavity, or pocket, created in the wall. The door panel is top-hung from a sliding 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.

They can be installed where space is at a premium such as in apartments, or simply for improved aesthetics and seamless interior flow that provides unimpeded access. Pocket doors offer a flexible solution where a hinged door would otherwise limit access into a room, and their functional, creative designs makes them an excellent choice for smaller rooms.

Five key benefits of installing pocket doors as part of your project:

1. Maximised space 

Traditional doors swing outward and take up a lot of room, whereas pocket doors slide conveniently into a compartment in the wall helping to reduce wasted space. Pocket doors maximise usable space so they are ideal for smaller spaces, such as utility rooms, ensuites, or storage rooms. An added benefit is the opportunity for enhanced layouts due to space now being unencumbered by the arc of the door. 

2.  Improved aesthetics and the flow of the home 

Traditional hinged doors take up space and impede the natural flow throughout the home, while the use of pocket doors results in spaces that feel better connected with an enhanced flow. Pocket doors can be closed for more intimate events, or opened up for parties. They offer more convenient connections between rooms such as the dining room and the kitchen, or bedrooms to ensuite bathrooms. 

ECLISSE offers a 15-year warranty on its vast range of pocket doors to provide peace of mind, whether you are working on a self-build, renovation or extension. ECLISSE pocket door systems are available in a variety of thicknesses to suit wood and metal stud, and our experts can guide you through which doors systems will be most suitable for your home.

3.  Increased accessibility

Traditional hinged doors can create an obstacle for people that are partially sighted as the leading edge of the door poses a hazard. Pocket doors are also a practical solution for people with limited mobility, including wheelchair users, as they are able to pass through the opening without obstruction. Moving items between rooms, such as furniture, or food, is also easier.

 4. Increased privacy 

ECLISSE offer a range of privacy locks that can be used with their system making pocket doors suitable for bathrooms and ensuites. This also enables the user to close off a room if privacy is required, or to partition off a room when guests are in the home, allowing for personal space.

5.  Suitable for both traditional and modern interiors

The ECLISSE range of Classic Pocket Door Systems, require finishing with architrave and suits both traditional and contemporary interiors. In the past in the UK, pocket doors tended to be associated with grander Victorian properties. The Victorians themselves were masters of invention and recognised the benefit of having doors that slide into pockets in the wall. The Victorians were well known for installing double pocket doors to open up and close off larger living spaces.

The collection features a pocket door system without jambs or architrave, a concealed hinged door frame for a flush finish, a flush riser door system and a flush skirting board adapter.
