Hi , we recently had renovation done to the bedroom upstairs and have made an ensuite and installed a pocket door which we bought the kit from eclipse.it looks great now but the only problem was the builder found it s bit tricky to install it and despite showing him the youtube videos it was a mission for him. He got it at the end and it looks good.

If you do opt for a glass fire rated door the below fire rated door is the most minimal I have ever come across. No frame, the only profile is an 18mm back painted band around the perimeter of the glass door to protect the fire rated intumescent seal and can be made to a fire rating of up to 60/60. Frameless Fire Rated Doors We have one of these doors on show at our showroom in Amersham. Let me know if you want any other information or if you want to arrange a visit to the showroom.

Hi, I agree with Arc. They can be a great space divider, closing off a room or opening up the space with the doors out of sight. You can match the doors with those in the rest of the house too. It is worth considering that a structural opening just over twice the desired door opening will be required for the full system to be installed. Alternatively you can fit the pocket door system on one side of a wall (in effect thickening the wall) but this will take a little space of a room. Check out Eclisse, their website is reasonably informative - http://www.eclisse.co.uk/ 

My sister’s extension is almost complete. Outside she has had the patio raised up to meet the sliding doors (no step) and at the end of the patio she has had a set of steps leading down to another seating area. It’s all plain concrete at the moment until she has it paved. So in effect there are no awkward steps immediately from the house door. Hope that make sense?
