Replacing doors with sliding walls
In the majority of projects, sliding walls can be specified either when space is tight, or when a floorplan needs more flexibility than the permanence of a stud wall. Wardrobes and other storage systems, for example, need enough access space to allow for the curve of a swinging door, plus additional standing room. But sliding doors can solve the spatial dilemma by removing the door’s opening curve completely.
Even in larger spaces, connecting two together into an open plan brings more light and sociability to both, but can also upset the senses by disturbing visual, acoustic and odour privacy. The simple adjustability of a sliding wall brings the best of both worlds, and the best of both spaces, together.
Replacing walls with sliding walls
Another use for sliding partitions is as wall coverings. Walls offer essential presentation space in contract areas such as schools and offices, so a wall that slides to either hide or reveal another wall behind, allows multiple presentation formats at once. Blackboards, whiteboards, noticeboards, posters, digital screens and projector screens can all be accessed and alternated with the flick of a wrist.

Depending on the project, there’s always space for a sliding wall, and with just as much choice on materials, colour, texture and finish as standard wall coverings, the choices are just as flexible. More detailed specifics and imagery can be found on the individual sliding walls product pages, while specifiers can request further details, catalogues and dealer information from the manufacturers on Architonic.
