Looking for a sliding door for your home? The sliding door has an undeniable advantage over a classic door: space saving. Indeed, the sliding door glides via a rail while a standard door needs space for its swing.

Thanks to sliding doors, you can also arrange different rooms as desired. It is common to install them between a kitchen and another room; but you can also install one between a bedroom and a closet or dressing room. This helps limit odors from one room to another! When open, it also gives an impression of enlargement. Vary the ambiance with a sliding door on rail. Live in a home that's adaptable to your wishes thanks to all our quality sliding door models. Choose the one that meets your needs with Vente-unique.

What are the different types of interior sliding doors?

As they become increasingly popular in our homes, they come in several technologies. On one hand, there is the surface-mounted sliding door. Simple to install, it slides along a partition. Therefore, you don't need major renovation work. You can choose between leaving the rail visible or using a casing to cover it. On the other hand, there is the pocket sliding door.

What is the difference between a surface-mounted sliding door and a pocket door?

The difference between a surface-mounted sliding door and a pocket sliding door lies mainly in their integration into your interior and particularly into your walls. This difference is related to their installation system. The first one is, as its name suggests, fixed to your wall thanks to a surface-mounted system: a suspended rail that allows you to slide it. Thus, when it is open, a surface-mounted sliding door is always visible on one side or the other of the wall to which it is attached. While for the pocket door, its sliding system is partially hidden. And when opened, it slides into the wall to become invisible. The pocket door facilitates circulation from one room to another. Indeed, it eliminates door swings to streamline coming and going discreetly.

Height, width, and thickness: what is the standard size of a sliding door?

The standard dimensions of a single panel sliding door are generally 204 cm in height with a width ranging between 60 and 100 cm. These sizes adapt perfectly to most modern living spaces. For larger openings, double panel models offer widths up to 200 cm, creating an elegant separation between two large spaces. Regarding thickness, it varies according to the materials chosen: from 29 to 40 mm for classic doors.

How to choose your sliding door kit in harmony with your interior and decoration?

Practical as we have seen, they are also aesthetic. Play with materials and Colours to create an ambiance and decoration that reflects your style. Each has its advantages.

Determine your needs: do you need a sliding door that lets light through even when closed? Or are you looking to create some privacy in one of the rooms that the door will separate?

Single or double sliding door?

The choice between a single or double sliding door depends on the available space and the size of the opening you want your door to close.

A single sliding door is ideal for small spaces or to replace a traditional door. It offers sufficient opening while preserving space.

While a double sliding door is perfect for large openings or to create a sense of grandeur.

Glass and workshop-style sliding doors

The tempered glass sliding door offers a modern style thanks to the light it allows through: it creates a contemporary and modern style. It can be translucent or smoked. The latter is perfect for bathrooms where privacy is needed without compromising light passage.

Glass sliding doors are available in different styles, ranging from fully glazed panels in frosted glass for a modern and sleek interior, to workshop-style sliding doors for a more industrial look.

Solid sliding doors in wood or aluminum

The wooden sliding door offers greater opacity: it harmonizes beautifully with an authentic and natural Scandinavian interior. You can also opt for an aluminum sliding door, a lightweight, modern material that is easy to maintain for excellent longevity.

There are also more original sliding doors to match specific interiors; or simply to bring a touch of cheerfulness to a more traditional room. What a pleasure to redecorate your home in the most beautiful way!
