Why Choose a Sliding Door?

Sliding doors aren’t just a design trend—they’re practical, versatile, and can improve both the look and feel of your home. Here’s why so many Irish homeowners are switching to sliding systems:

1. Space Saving – Because they slide along a track instead of swinging open, sliding doors are ideal for rooms where space is limited.
2. Style Variety – From sleek frosted glass to rustic barn wood, there’s a sliding door to match any décor.
3. Light & Openness – Glass sliding doors let light flow between rooms, making spaces feel bigger and brighter.
4. Customisation – Mix and match different doors with hardware kits to create your own look.
5. Easy Installation – Many come with hardware included, making them DIY-friendly.

How to Choose the Right Sliding Door for Your Space

When picking the perfect sliding door, consider the following:

• Privacy Needs – For bathrooms, go with frosted ESG glass; for open living spaces, clear glass works well.
• Style & Décor – Modern interiors shine with glass & aluminium; rustic or vintage homes suit barn doors.
• Room Size – Small rooms benefit from space-saving single-panel doors; larger rooms can handle double barn doors.
• Durability – For high-traffic areas, choose solid wood or ESG glass for long-lasting performance.
• Ease of Installation – If you want a quick install, pick a set that includes both the door and hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I install a sliding door myself?
Yes. Most of our sliding doors come with hardware kits or are compatible with our hardware products, making DIY installation possible with basic tools.

Q: Are barn doors only for rustic designs?
Not at all. Barn doors can look amazing in modern settings—especially when paired with sleek black hardware for contrast.

Q: What is ESG glass?
ESG glass is a type of toughened safety glass that is much stronger than regular glass. If it does break, it shatters into small, blunt pieces, making it safer.

Q: How do I choose between frosted and clear glass?
Frosted glass is best for privacy, while clear glass maximises light flow and visual openness.
