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.
