Why Buy Sliding Doors from Emerald Doors?
Save Floor Space
Sliding doors move along a track rather than swinging open, so you reclaim the floor space a hinged door needs to open into.

Let Light Flow

Smooth, Modern Operation
Quality track and roller systems give a smooth, quiet glide, with a clean, contemporary look that suits modern and period homes.

FAQ About Sliding Doors
What are the different types of sliding doors?
Sliding doors include internal sliding doors between rooms, barn style doors on a surface mounted track, pocket doors that slide into a wall cavity, sliding room dividers, and external aluminium sliding doors for patios. Each saves space in a slightly different way.
How much space do sliding doors save?
Because a sliding door slides along a track instead of swinging, it needs no clearance to open into the room. This can free up around a square metre of usable floor space per door, which is valuable in small or busy rooms.
What is a barn style sliding door?
A barn style door hangs from a track fixed to the wall above the opening and slides across the face of the wall. It gives a rustic or contemporary feature look and suits kitchens, utilities, bedrooms and use as a room divider.
What is a pocket door?
A pocket door slides into a cavity built into the wall, so it disappears completely when open. It is the most space-saving sliding option, ideal for ensuites, utilities and tight spaces, and usually needs a pocket door kit built into the wall.
Can sliding doors be used as room dividers?
Yes. Sliding room dividers use one or more panels on a track to separate an open plan space when needed and open it up again in seconds, keeping light and flow while giving privacy on demand.
Are sliding doors good for outside?
Yes. Our external aluminium sliding doors are double glazed, weatherproof and secure, with slim frames for more glass, making them a sleek way to open a room onto a garden or patio.
Do sliding doors come glazed?
Many do. Glazed sliding doors, with clear or frosted glass, let light pass between rooms or from outside, while solid panels give more privacy. The right choice depends on the room.
What sizes do sliding doors come in, and can they be made to measure?
We stock standard sizes and track kits, and offer made-to-measure and custom options for non-standard openings, wider room dividers, and specific finishes. Check each product for its sizes and track details.
