Glazed Sliding Leaves and Concealed Wall Pockets
Two Telescoping Glazed Leaves
The default door uses two slim aluminum-framed glazed leaves running on parallel tracks. Both leaves retract together into the left wall pocket, opening the passage across the coordinated 3000 mm-wide opening.
Thermally Broken Frame and 28 mm Glazing
The frame construction incorporates a thermal break. The glazing requirement is 6 mm glass, a 16 mm sealed cavity and 6 mm glass, giving a 28 mm insulating unit within each leaf.
Running Hardware, Guides and Seals
Matched running carriers and upper guides coordinate the two leaves and their interlock. The frame package includes the scheduled locking points, seals and sill drainage, with removable pocket access for hardware service.
Left, Right and Opposed Pocket Door Layouts
Right-Pocket Two-Leaf Layout
The mirrored layout places the same 1650 mm parking zone to the right of the opening. The viewing side, pull positions and locking arrangement are carried with the handed door reference.
Opposed-Pocket Four-Leaf Layout
The wider configuration uses a 6000 × 2400 mm opening requirement and two leaves at each side. Two 1650 mm parking zones flank the passage, with the center meeting detail scheduled as part of the complete set.

Wall Parking, Running Tracks and Drainage
Reserve the Complete Wall Run
A 3000 mm opening plus 1650 mm parking length allocates 4650 mm along the wall. The opposed layout allocates 9300 mm from two 1650 mm pockets and the 6000 mm opening. Frame, support and finish zones are added on the coordinated wall detail.
Coordinate the 220 mm Pocket Cavity
The pocket uses a 220 mm clear cavity-depth requirement across the running tracks. Structural framing, wall faces and the removable service opening are detailed around that clear space.
Bring Sill and Wall Water Management Together
The exterior sill, drainage route, finished inside/outside levels and perimeter seals follow one door/wall interface. The opening detail also locates running support, head fixing and the actual clear passage at the travel stops.
