Pocket Doors

13 years ago
How were the external pocket doors developed? They're a perfect solution to this home and hopefully to ours, as well.

    Hi -
    The doors are manufactured by Fleetwood - the series is Norwood -- they are biparting sliding doors which are ordered, for this application with double the track length so that when they are open they slide fully out of view. They slide on the bottom track and are restrained with a small top track which is concealed by the head jamb.
    We used a steel angle to extend the small roof cover and the doors slide over the exterior of the building walls. The exterior walls that you can see were built beyond the house walls. The Fleetwood folks can likely talk you through some of the details and or you could ask them to send you details of their piece.
    Hope this helps.
    It is a solution that works well.
    Thanks,

    Thank you ever so much for the information. That was very kind of you. We truly love the look of your work, and hope to incorporate the same sense of openness into our project.

    Have a great day and thanks again.

    Hi Patrick,

    Thank you so much for contacting me. That was very kind of you. As it turns out we went in another direction. But I will say, your doors look fantastic.
