Begin with the room
Look at furniture, circulation and the space around the opening. Gather dimensions and photographs to discuss the arrangement with our team.

The way it opens.
The way you live.
Different movements. Different connections.

01 — Single / Opening style
One door.
An everyday connection.
One hinged leaf creates a simple connection between two spaces.
Start with the everyday rhythm of the room. A single door gives you a familiar opening arrangement, while the collection, surface and hardware shape its character. Consider the opening direction alongside furniture, circulation and the surrounding wall.
- The movement
- A single leaf swings on hinges.
- Worth considering
- Allow room for the swing and choose the opening direction.
02 — Double / Opening style
A broader opening.
A balanced impression.
A pair of door leaves brings balance and a broader connection to adjoining spaces.
Think about what you want the opening to frame. Double doors can become a focal point between a hallway and living room, or between two adjoining rooms. Consider the proportions of both leaves and the space needed for them to open comfortably.
- The movement
- Two hinged leaves form one opening.
- Worth considering
- Consider the swing of both leaves and the usable opening.
03 — Sliding / Opening style
A different movement.
A different flow.
A sliding door moves along a track, changing how you use the space around the doorway.
Consider the wall beside the opening as part of the design. A surface sliding arrangement allows the leaf to move along it, so its travel path needs to stay clear. The door, track and hardware can become a considered part of the room’s composition.
- The movement
- The leaf travels along a track.
- Worth considering
- Keep the travel path and adjacent wall area clear.
04 — Glazed / Design option
Separate the spaces.
Keep the connection.
Glass changes the relationship between rooms, allowing you to consider light, views and texture together.
Start with the atmosphere you want to create. A clear view, a softer division or a textured surface each gives the opening a different character. Glazing is a design option that can be considered alongside different opening styles, depending on the selected door system.
- The movement
- Defined by the chosen opening style.
- Worth considering
- Consider light, privacy and the appropriate glass specification.
05 — Pivot / Opening style
An architectural gesture.
A considered rotation.
A pivot arrangement brings a different movement and presence to the doorway.
Think about the whole opening, including the space on both sides of the leaf. The pivot position influences how the door moves and how much clear opening remains. Discuss the proportions, hardware and installation requirements as part of the design.
- The movement
- The leaf rotates around a pivot axis.
- Worth considering
- Consider clearance on both sides and the pivot position.
06 — Pocket / Opening style
Open up the room.
Let the door disappear.
A pocket arrangement lets the leaf slide into the wall rather than remain visible beside the opening.
Plan the wall as well as the door. A pocket system needs space within the wall construction for the leaf to retract, making early coordination useful. Discuss the wall build-up, services and access to the system before finalising the opening.
- The movement
- The leaf slides into a wall pocket.
- Worth considering
- Coordinate the wall cavity and installation requirements.
02 — Bring the room into the decision
A choice of movement.
A sense of belonging.
The opening style is one part of the design. Consider it alongside the room’s layout, the collection and the finishing details.
