Pocket Glass Doors FAQ
What makes a door a pocket door?
Pocket doors are sliding patio doors that slide into an opening – or “pocket” – in the wall when they’re open. The slim pockets hide the door when the homeowner is entertaining or bringing a little fresh into their space.
Are there different sizes for pocket doors?
Yes. Companies make pocket doors in a variety of configurations. Two-panel and three-panel pocket doors are standard, but many manufacturers offer models that are even larger.
Are pocket doors difficult to replace?
Not at all. In fact, due to the growing popularity of pocket doors, more and more manufacturers are offering them as part of their product line. This will make pocket doors easier to replace when it’s time for your next renovation project.
What if I currently have a sliding glass door? Can I still get a pocket door?
Yes. Contractors make this type of replacement all the time. The pocket can be created by removing the existing drywall to create space. It’s also possible to construct a faux wall next to the existing wall, creating a pocket for the door to slide into.
Are pocket doors popular because of how they look?
Pocket doors are popular for a variety of reasons. Because the doors disappear in the pockets, they’re able to “bring the outside in” and truly merge your interior space with the outside world. What’s more, they offer all the functionality and energy efficiency that’s essential for patio doors in the 21st century.
