Ok, you've heard the words "pocket doors" mentioned but have no idea what it means, so what is a pocket door?
Let's do the mind-boggling jargon bit first, it's fairly easy to understand once you grasp the basics
What is a pocket door?
A pocket door is a single or double door and sometimes 4 doors in a range of styles that slides into a steel framework known as a cassette concealed within your wall when the door is in the open position, it saves a huge amount of space and has lots more benefits for your home.
What's a pocket door cassette?
This is where the magic happens, the cassette is in kit form or as fully constructed and sits within the wall, the doors sit inside the cassette when they are fully open.
What is a pocket door Jamb?
The jamb (where required) is what you would think of when a traditional door is hinged, simply explained it is the door frame and will require architraves or facings.
Are there different types of pocket doors?
There are so here are some ideas,
- Evokit Classic - high quality single or double pocket doors with wooden jambs and architraves, the latter is not included.
- Absolute Evokit - No jambs or architraves required, plaster finish almost up to the door.
- Unilateral - two doors sliding from left and right in to a central cassette
- Telescopic - two doors sliding from the left or right in to a single cassette on the left or right but also available as a four door version with two doors going to the left and two to the right and residing when open in a cassette at either side of the opening, great for the largest of rooms.
- Fire rated pocket door kits all tried and tested in the UK to fully comply with all current legislation.

The telescopic - the telescopic is hugely popular, it's where two doors slide in the same direction, to the left or to the right and again reside within one cassette within the wall or for larger rooms we can supply the double version with four doors - two going left and two going right.
