SLIDING DOORS IN A NARROOW HALLWAY

3 years ago

Our 60's home has a long narrow hallway which has little light. The utility room/garage is off to one s ide followed by the stairs on the other side of the hall is a door to the cloakroom (to be extended to include a shower) a large cupboard for boiler and washing machine At the end of the hall is a wall and a door to the kitchen. Between that and the stairs in an under stairs cupboard where we put shoes etc. All these have doors which open into an already narrow hallway and it is driving me mad. I am proposing to have a new glazed front door and a glazed door to the kitchen to maximise and light available . The other doors I want to be sliding- either barn style or pocket doors. I have had a few builders in who frankly are not keen. This area seems very poorly supplied by trades people prepared to do anything outside their convenience. Any suggestions? Moving is not an option for a few years yet.

The door to the garage will need to be fire rated and slightly up off the floor so probably not wise to try to get a slider there, unless its a decorative door sliding over the fire door - but that seems a tad excessive. ( and a pain to open when you have hands full )

Hi Claire, Was it one like this you were looking for? If so, you can get in touch with the Pro who designed the above room to ask about the door here. Even if it's not that one you want specifically, they would probably be able to direct you to suppliers. Maybe someone else has direct experience buying this kind of item?

Fiona - I’ve been looking into replacing some doors with Crittal style and have contacted loads of suppliers and companies. The one that I’ve been most impressed with is the company mentioned above by Lou Valdini - Merlin Windows in Yorkshire. (I’m in the East Midlands). They gave me a competitive quote really quickly and then I got a quote from the fitter mentioned. (They fit across the UK and they link in with Merlin to ensure timings etc). It’s likely that we will go ahead in the next few months. (Just need to convince husband as he prefers chunky timber 😂)

For anyone else reading this thread, you can now get aluminium internal sliding doors either frame or surface fixed. These come fully glazed, in the steel look and even as frameless glass sliding doors. Happy to help with product advice and suppliers if you'd like to get in touch. Hope this helps Kind regards, Nick

Hi, The grey doors on the end, are they bifolds? I think if you match the style of these then it will look great. I don't mind mixing modern with traditional and actually it may look better to match the grey rather than leaving those end doors as the odd ones out. Do what suits your interior style.
