Altro cavity slider systems are engineered for modern residential, commercial and architectural applications requiring concealed sliding doors, minimalist detailing and superior long-term durability.
Also known as cavity sliding doors or pocket doors, cavity sliders allow door panels to slide seamlessly into the wall cavity, maximising floor space while creating clean contemporary interiors.
Altro’s Euro Cav cavity slider systems feature patented aluminium framing technology, premium European hardware and precision-engineered components designed for smooth operation, structural rigidity and perfectly straight finishes.
A Cavity slider is a sliding door system where the door panel slides into a concealed cavity within the wall rather than swinging open into the room. Also commonly referred to as pocket doors or cavity sliding doors, these systems are widely used in residential homes, apartments, office fitouts, healthcare projects and modern architectural interiors where space efficiency and minimalist design are important.
Unlike traditional hinged doors, cavity sliders maximise usable floor space while delivering a clean, streamlined appearance.
Altro cavity slider systems are engineered using commercial-grade aluminium frames and premium European hardware to deliver smoother operation, improved durability and superior long-term performance.
One of the primary benefits of cavity sliders is their ability to increase space efficiency. Traditional hinged doors require a significant amount of swing space, which can be impractical in smaller rooms. Cavity sliders, on the other hand, slide directly into the wall, eliminating the need for swing space and allowing you to make the most of your available area. This is especially beneficial in compact living spaces where every square metre counts.
Cavity sliders are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. Their sleek, modern design can seamlessly blend with various interior styles, from contemporary to minimalist. The absence of visible door panels when the door is open creates a clean and uncluttered look, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the room. Additionally, cavity sliders can be customised with different materials, finishes, and hardware to match your interior décor.
Cavity sliders are incredibly versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications. In residential settings, they are perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms, and living areas. They can also be used to create flexible spaces, such as separating a living room from a dining area or creating a private home office. In commercial spaces, cavity sliders are ideal for office partitions, conference rooms, and reception areas, providing both functionality and style.
Single cavity sliders are the most common type of cavity door system. They consist of a single door panel that slides into a wall cavity on one side. These doors are ideal for smaller openings and are often used in residential settings for bathrooms, bedrooms, and closets. Single cavity sliders are a great option for spaces where a traditional hinged door would be impractical.
Double cavity sliders feature two door panels that slide into cavities on either side of the opening. This design allows for a wider opening, making them perfect for larger spaces such as living rooms, dining rooms, and commercial areas. Double cavity sliders can create an open-plan feel when fully opened, and when closed, they provide privacy and separation.
At Altro, we understand that every space is unique, and that’s why we offer custom cavity sliders. Whether you need a specific size, design, or finish, our custom cavity sliders can be tailored to meet your exact requirements. From unique door materials to specialised hardware, we can create a cavity slider that perfectly fits your space and style.
Installing cavity sliders is a straightforward process, especially when compared to traditional doors. The installation begins with the cavity frame, which is fitted into the wall. This frame includes the track and guides for the door panel. Once the cavity frame is securely installed, the door panel is mounted onto the track and adjusted to ensure smooth operation. The final step involves installing any additional hardware, such as handles and locks.
Professional installation is recommended to ensure that the cavity slider is properly aligned and functions correctly. However, for those with DIY skills, many cavity slider kits come with detailed instructions and all the necessary components for installation.
To ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your cavity sliders, regular maintenance is essential. Here are some tips to keep your cavity sliders in top condition:
Residential Uses
Cavity sliders are incredibly versatile and can be used in various residential applications. In bathrooms, they provide privacy without taking up valuable floor space. In kitchens, cavity sliders can be used to separate the cooking area from the dining area, creating a more open and flexible layout. Bedrooms benefit from cavity sliders by making the best use of space and allowing for more furniture arrangement options. Additionally, cavity sliders can be used in living rooms to create separate zones or to close off the space for a more intimate setting.
Commercial Uses
In commercial settings, cavity sliders offer numerous benefits. They are ideal for office spaces, where they can be used to create private meeting rooms or to separate workstations. In conference rooms, cavity sliders provide a professional and modern look while achieving greater space efficiency. Reception areas and waiting rooms can also benefit from cavity sliders, offering a sleek and functional way to manage space and traffic flow.
