With the door partially open, the space behind is revealed, a room with a window. This is one indication why translucent glass is a good choice here — even when the door is closed, the living room borrows some light from the window.Note how the horizontal rail (at about chair rail height) works as the handle for sliding the door.
DON'T LIKE THIS DOOR, HOWEVER, POSSIBILITY OF USING SLIDERS FOR OUR BATHROOM AND LAUNDRY AREA SINCE EXISTING POCKET DOOR DOES NOT OPENS FULLY AND SCRATCHES
idea of sliding divider to give zach some privacy in the lower level TV room. use sliding wood divider that you can move all the way to the east into the dining room when you don't want the space ALL open.
