A modern home in Ilford, Essex, recently underwent a stylish transformation with the installation of AluSpace internal sliding doors. Here at Chigwell Window Centre, we worked closely with the homeowners to provide a flexible solution that would separate their lounge from the kitchen and dining area without losing the bright, open feel.
Our customer wanted to divide their two rooms, with a set of doors, but that would meet their criteria. They wanted the doors not to take up any space when open, as well as letting light flow between the rooms when closed and providing the necessary division of the two rooms. The solution was Aluspace internal sliding doors. A sleek and practical space division that also enhances the home’s contemporary décor.
Why AluSpace internal sliding doors?
AluSpace is an innovative internal screening system designed and extruded in the UK. It is ideal for creating distinct areas in open-plan environments without sacrificing natural light or style.
- Elegant, Slim Frames: The system’s slender sightlines help maintain a light, airy atmosphere while offering a modern, industrial-chic look.
- Versatile Design Options: Configurations include hinged, pivot, sliding, or fixed screens in multiple colours and finishes, making AluSpace adaptable to any interior aesthetic.
- Minimal Maintenance: Expert engineering, high-quality materials, and precise manufacturing mean these doors are both robust and easy to care for over many years.
Transforming the Home in Ilford
For this particular project, we installed a biparting set of sliding doors in the centre, flanked by fixed side panels. The frames were finished in a desirable matt black, giving a cool industrial vibe that perfectly complements the property’s chic furniture, marble flooring, and overall contemporary design.
By choosing flush integral handles, the doors maintain a minimalist appearance while remaining effortless to operate.
This sleek installation now acts as a functional partition, offering privacy when needed but also allowing the homeowners to enjoy a sense of openness and cohesion between the lounge and kitchen-dining areas. With AluSpace’s acoustic barrier, conversation and television noise can be contained, yet natural light still flows throughout the space.
