Surface-mounted sliding doors are great for spaces where ease of use and style is paramount. Whether it’s rustic-style barn doors or a contemporary wall mounted door in a commercial space, the options are wide-ranging with wood, metal, aluminium and glass options available.

Soundproof Sliding Doors (Wall Mounted)

New technology has allowed for the specification of surface mounted sliding doors in applications where previously only hinged doors were possible. That’s due to the ability for sliding doors (including barn doors) to create a soundproof barrier between rooms. 

Barn doors

Barn-style doors are a popular contemporary addition to homes and offices alike, introducing a rustic element and a natural feel with a nod to the charm of country residences of days gone by. Moving well beyond the barn, this unique style of the door creates a defining aesthetic and can work well within both the ultra-contemporary and more traditional settings. With barn doors now available in a huge range of materials from the classic timber door right through to aluminium options, there is also a large choice of fittings and hardware from bespoke, statement pieces to designer options in metal and aluminium. 

With the ability to create a soundproof barrier with barn-style sliding doors, the design possibilities for this popular style of the door have increased significantly, and their specification in spaces from retailers to hospitality settings and everything in between is in line with the appeal of natural, classic designs. 

Surface Mounted Sliding Doors

The surface mounted sliding door has long been specified in offices and commercial settings, with statement doors and systems available for everything from large wall-to-ceiling installations right through to the bespoke, small applications where character and definitive design is the key consideration. 

In the home, surface mounted sliding doors can create a seamless contemporary appeal. Often used to separate open plan areas of the house, and for wardrobes and bathroom doors, the surface mounted sliding door is a versatile, space-saving option. 

Depending on the hardware and track systems chosen, sliding doors can also be an effective and elegant solution for exterior applications, particularly opening up living areas to outdoor decking or entertainment spaces.
