Renovating Design Dilemma DIY

Angled pocket door??

2 years ago

Has anyone bought or had custom made, a pocket (fire) door for a loft conversion with an angled corner like the below? Struggling to find anything or any examples online and am wondering if it can actually be done or not?

I see no practical reason why it can't be done, the issue might just be finding someone willing to do it, I imagine if it wasn't a fire door most would be willing to do it no question but with the regs it might be putting some off.

Probably the best option is if you can get a pre made door and have a joiner customize it to fit.

#minimalwindows were installed to this property extension with a #pocketdoor that allows all the sliding panes to be hidden within a cavity in the construction of the building when the sliding doors are open. This creates a completely #openaperture. The beauty of the minimal windows system with a pocket door, is that the frames can be hidden within the finishes of the wall which accentuates the minimalistic and frameless aesthetic.

I think we actually have a larger gap than you do! Definitely get sound leakage, however tbh we don't shut them that often. We have a brush edging between the frame and the doors on both sides, but not between the doors themselves. I think the issue would be attaching it now that the doors are in (unless you can take the doors off easily still. as it'd either need to be at the front edge of the door that stays nearest the walls, or the back of the one that meet in the middle. Definitely worth trying to add if you're able to. other thing to consider if sound insulation is very important, we had the handles.. we had the finger pulls that sit on the ends of the doors? but i'm not entirely sure if it's just how they were inserted, but they dont sit 100% flush, meaning when shut there's a slight gap in the middle as well. We said about trying to change it, to get them more flush, but they'd have essentially damaged the doors trying to pry them out by that point! 🤦🏻‍♀️
