1. Maximise Light with Glazed Steel-Look Aluminium Sliders

Unlike solid partitions, internal sliding glass doors allow light to flow freely between rooms — keeping your space bright and airy while adding stylish separation. Whether you choose clear, reeded, or frosted glass, you’ll get all the aesthetic of traditional steel doors with the smooth functionality of a modern sliding system.

Our aluminium steel-look frames are ultra-slim but built to last — offering a timeless design with modern performance.

2. Space-Saving Sliding Configurations

Ideal for smaller or open-plan areas, sliding doors don’t require swing clearance like hinged doors. Choose from:

  • Single sliding doors – for utility rooms, pantries, or compact openings
  • Double sliding doors – for symmetrical access or room dividers
  • Sliding + fixed screen setups – for wider walls and larger openings

All systems are fully customisable, with the option to slide left or right depending on your space.

3. Fixing Options: Recess-Fit or Wall-Mounted for Maximum Flexibility

When configuring your Decorio internal sliding door, one of the first decisions is how you want it installed — and that comes down to choosing between two smart headrail fixing options:

Option 1: Standard Recess Fixing (Inside the Opening)

This is the more traditional setup where the sliding headrail is fixed within the structural opening — allowing the doors to glide neatly back and forth across the opening itself. It’s perfect for internal partitions with a large wide opening space like partitions between kitchens and dinning rooms.

Option 2: Wall-Mounted with L-Brackets (Slide Across the Wall)

With this configuration, the headrail is mounted to the face of the wall above the opening using discreet L-plates. This means your sliding doors can travel across the wall when opened — completely clearing the opening, making it perfect for small openings between rooms.

4. Glazing Options for Privacy or Texture

Decorio internal sliding doors can be glazed with:

  • Clear glass – for full transparency and light
  • Frosted glass – for subtle privacy (ideal for offices)
  • Reeded/fluted glass – for a retro twist with texture and character

You can discuss thickness and style with your installer — all glass is safety-toughened as standard.

5. Colour Options to Match Any Interior

Choose from over 150 RAL colours, including:

  • Matt Black (RAL 9005) – industrial and on-trend
  • Anthracite Grey (RAL 7016) – perfect for modern homes
  • Off-white tones – ideal for period properties

Popular colours may be available on shorter lead times — ask your installer about options.

6. Handle Styles and Finishes

Complete the look with hardware that suits your style:

  • Flush pulls – minimalist and space-saving
  • Heritage handles – classic period feel
  • Contemporary knurled designs – bold and tactile (like shown below)

Finishes include black, brushed steel, and antique brass. See the full hardware options here.
