Sliding Door Ideas

Personalize or remodel your home by adding a sliding door. Sliding doors don't just have to lead outside. You can incorporate sliding doors into your closets or you can create an elegant divide between two rooms. Whatever your design choice, there are many sliding door options. Does this Spark an idea?


Doors for Small Spaces


When space is limited consider installing two paneled sliding doors or folding sliding doors. There are several styles of the paneled sliding door or the folding sliding door that can really spice up a room. Consider a light wooden glaze or color of the door to keep the room light. You also may want to have glazed glass sliding panels or mirrors on the panels to increase the efficiency of the sliding doors.


Doors with Class


Classy sliding doors never go out of fashion. The best way to personalize your home may be to install Shoji doors, the sliding panel doors from Japan. The opaque panels of the Shoji doors can give you the privacy you need while adding some culture to your room. The elegant panels and glass of French and Acadian doors can open up a room instantly, letting in plenty of light.


Doors from the Future


There are new types of sliding doors that will undoubtedly catch anyone's eye. Several companies have created custom-made, straight or curved glass sliding doors that when shut have an air- and water-tight seal. These doors slide on a custom track that can go wherever the house owner designed it to go. PVC doors are made of plastic, which gives them incredible strength and durability but also allows for different designs than traditional glass or wood doors. PVC doors will add a modern, trendy edge to your home.
