A Self-Builder’s Guide to Pocket Doors

Hinged doors are a long-standing staple for most properties, but many homeowners are recognising the practical, aesthetic and space-saving capabilities of pocket units. The main boon is that you won’t need to provide any room for a door to be swung open, as pocket designs subtly slide back into in the adjacent wall.

What are the benefits?

Without an open door in the way, every inch of floorspace can be utilised – an essential if you’re self-building. “Space costs money,” says Caroline Clarkson from Eclisse.

“Each m2 of your home will cost £1,000 or more, so it’s well worth making use of every metre. Pocket doors could offer up to 8m2 more usable room in a 100m2 layout in comparison to hinged styles.” You’ll have the freedom to place furniture next to the aperture and views around the space will be uninterrupted, plus light will flow more readily throughout.
