Doors that will maximise space

Cavity door solutions comprise of three key components, the cavity frame, the door and the track upon which the door retracts into the cavity, disappearing from view. Unlike swing doors which take up valuable floor space when opening and closing, a cavity door solution does not impede floor and wall space or obstruct furniture or fittings. 

“When space is at a premium, cavity door solutions allow you to regain floor space,” says Athina Solomou, Director of Marketing at Corinthian Doors. 

“With high density living becoming more apparent in our cities, designers are looking for ways to separate rooms without compromising space. Cavity door solutions are increasingly being specified in many homes and apartments where space is at a premium, areas such as the laundry, bathroom, ensuite, and pantries are taking advantage of the space gained with cavity door solutions.”

However cavity door solutions are not just for confined spaces; they are highly functional and can make a statement in a home.

“Cavity units give homeowners the advantage of separating living spaces or creating open-plan living areas. For example, using a cavity unit between rooms creates the perception of more space,” Athina said.

“From separating an open plan living space into distinct living and dining areas, shutting off an ensuite from a bedroom, or separating a study nook from the kitchen for privacy cavity units allow flexibility for homeowners.

“Cavity units are suitable for any room of the house. For wet areas, such as the laundry or bathroom, choose a cavity unit with full steel construction such as Corinthian’s Platinum Cavity unit which eliminates issues with moisture,”  Athina said.

Internal doors are often overlooked as a design feature, but they can be both functional and add unique style to the home. Plus, furniture can be placed in the space that would usually be taken up by a door that swings out. Details: www.corinthian.com.au.
