Location

Project Type

Sliding Glass Door System

Scope of Work

Supply, installation & ceiling-recessed system

Objective

Maximise light, create flexible separation, future-proof the space

Project Overview

Ann and Aidan approached Frameless.ie seeking a practical yet elegant solution to partially connect their dining room and living room. The goal was to maintain an open-plan feel that allowed easy visibility of their grandchildren while still having the option to separate the spaces when needed—especially during TV time or when entertaining guests.

Project Objectives

● Create a flexible connection between the dining and living areas.
● Maximise natural light from the home’s south- and west-facing windows.
● Ensure the space can be closed off quickly and silently without compromising aesthetics.
● Future-proof the installation so the doors can be repositioned if the layout changes.

Solutions Delivered

Ceiling-Recessed Soft-Closing Sliding System

We installed a premium recessed sliding mechanism that allows the doors to glide smoothly and discreetly into the ceiling line, maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic.

Combination of Active & Inactive Glass Panels

The system includes two active and two inactive glass doors, striking the ideal balance of usability, visibility, and uninterrupted natural light flow between the two rooms.

Flexible, Reconfigurable Design

The entire installation was designed with versatility in mind, ensuring the doors can be repositioned or adapted should the clients decide to update their living arrangement in the future.

Project Outcomes

Brighter, Airier Home

Light from both sides of the house now flows throughout the space, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere all day.

Open When You Want It, Private When You Need It

The sliding system allows the kitchen/dining area to be closed off from the living room effortlessly—perfect for relaxing evenings or focused TV time.

Premium Look & Effortless Function

The seamless design, smooth operation, and high-quality glass panels elevate both rooms while enhancing everyday practicality.
