A pocket door is a sliding door that disappears into a cavity in the wall framing when open, allowing for clear space on both sides of the connecting rooms.
Pocket doors are particularly versatile and tend to be used where space is at a premium, a swing door could be inconvenient, or in narrow hallways and small bathrooms where it is difficult to open the door inwards. They are also a great way to separate larger, open plan spaces to create privacy.
Architrave-free doors have become a strong focus of modern interior designs that dictate clean lines and seamless finishes. As creators of the trusted INVI Jamb® flush door jamb system for swing doors, INVI Concept offer two solutions for achieving flush pocket doors to perfectly complement this trimless look across all internal doors.
So, let’s compare which flush pocket door solution is right for your project…
INVI CavKit: Flush Pocket Door Trims
The INVI CavKit system is made up of steel sections that replace traditional architraves by capping the drywall around the door penetration and are plastered in with the drywall to create a flush finish.
This system would be best to use if you wish to transform a traditional pocket door system in to a flush architrave-free door.
As shown below, INVI CavKit is available with two capping options:
Standard Closer Cap: The door closes into a shallow rebate in the door jamb when closed, to block light and provide complete privacy.
Optional INVI Cap: Similar to traditional pocket door systems, the door butts up against the flat door jamb. This option is best for doors that are often kept open.
INVI SlideSet: Flush Pocket Door System
INVI SlideSet creates a similar flush finished door, but is a full system including wall framing, concealed hardware, mounting plates for ‘lift-up’ installation, stoppers with retention device, INVI CavKit and ifloor guide.
