What is a Pocket Door?

A Pocket Door is one that slides back inside the wall. The system is made up of a steel pocket which replaces the stud work and is plasterboarded over to form the wall. The running track is at the top and there are no tracks on the floor.

They achieve this by creating an ‘envelope’ that the door slides into, allowing the door to hide within the wall cavity. This effortless system brings adjoining rooms together with no hassle.
