Considering a pocket door for a tiled or clad bathroom wall?

Split finishes

With the Envo Slide system split finishes are possible on the pocket cage, reveal linings, and door leaf. The pocket cage wall can be clad allowing for the weight of tile or stone finishes - even shelves are possible! When a finish with a total thickness greater than 14mm is required, such as stone or marble, we're able to produce the runner spindle with additional length.

Door leaf options

Envo Slide is not only compatible with timber door leaves, we also offer a wide variety of steel glazed options. The Envo Steel range consists of lightweight steel doors ideal for both sliding bathroom doors and shower screens. Offering a sleek and modern look, they also provide exceptional durability and resistance to wear and tear. These doors can withstand the rigors of daily activities, including exposure to moisture, steam, and heat, making them a practical and stylish choice.

Envo Slide is also compatible with glass door leaves, whether you’re installing a single or double pocket system they create a minimal design that slides neatly into the wall.

Soft close / open

For a tranquil bedroom interior, consider our soft close and soft open options for ensuite pocket doors. These premium features guarantee a silent, smooth, and sophisticated opening and closing action.

Space limitations

It’s worth noting that pocket doors are the ideal solution for small spaces including ensuite bathrooms or cloakrooms. Preserving precious floor space, a pocket door slides within the wall rather than opening into a room. This could make all the difference when designing a bathroom or WC layout.
