Sliding kitchen partition in a terrace house

A clear sliding door keeps the view through from dining to cooking. Check where the leaf parks and leave room for the fridge door and cooking route.

Compare the options

Sliding with fixed panel or wall parking

Show the unobstructed run and head support. Ask how the leaf is guided and where it can be removed for service.

Hinged swing door

Mark the preferred opening direction, door stop and traffic from both sides. Compare a fully glazed or partly glazed leaf with the privacy the room needs.

Folding for a wide connection

Show the panel stack and traffic leaf. Ask whether a floor track, guide or threshold is needed by the selected system.

Measure the opening and parking area

Record the finished floor and ceiling, both jambs, wall thickness and nearby switches. Share a photo of the head and jambs so the installer can assess mounting and frame clearances.

Example for a 1.8 m glazed opening

Draw a slider parked against a fixed panel and a hinged option with a glazed sidelight. For each, mark the reachable handle position and the clear opening. Ask for the measured width before selecting hardware.

Common questions

Which is easier to fit in a narrow opening?

A sliding door needs room for the travelling leaf and overlap. A swing door needs a clear arc. Compare the real opening width once each door is open, including handles, frame and track.
