Pocster Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Considering this for an ensuite . Any recommendations ? Assume a glass door that locks ? ta
vivienz Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Why does it need to be glass? We've got a pocket door to our main bathroom and it's a standard door but with sliding kit into a twin stud wall.

Bitpipe Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 We have ensuite pocket doors (and similar to bathrooms and dressing room). All are 44mm solid doors using Eclisse ironmongry and a haefle pocket door system. I'm guessing a glass door would need to be custom made - how would you fit it to the runners above? The pocket door systems are fairly fixed width so you'll need brushes either side to hide the gaps. 1

Pocster Posted October 8, 2019 Author Posted October 8, 2019 Probably a dumb question but ... Is there any etiquette of what you see when you open a bathroom door ? I was always under the impression it was ‘bad form’ that you see the toilet ..... Perhaps I was brought up wrong !

In ours, loos are to side of door so if it's open you see sink / bath - only exception is the downstairs WC which is long & narrow so WC is at opposite side to door (also meets the BRs) 1 1

Shower is in the corner.

Temp Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 It's been mentioned before but the problem with a pocket door is they take longer to open and close. We have one but it's on a door that's not used frequently. The door and opening may also need to be wider because the handle doesn't disappear into the pocket. Can't even come close as it may trap your hand between handle and frame. Go play with one in a show room. 1

Temp Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 We have a Eclisee with wood door. If you follow the instructions it goes fine. Watch out you don't overtighten the screws holding plasterboard to the frame. If they go in too far they can scratch the door. 1

We fitted it about seven years ago so the designs have probably changed but the install was straightforward. Eclisse quality is good. Sorry about the dirty door and photo quality. 1
Miek Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 I've found that pocket doors can be noisy to operate compared to a hinged door which is a consideration for an en-suite. Perhaps there are quiet ones but mine aren't.
