Häfele sliding doors make rooms more flexible and functional

Elizabeth Briggs, Category Manager for Sliding, Room & Building at Häfele, shares what’s emerging in her area to help make rooms more flexible and functional, and what the company will be displaying at the upcoming kbb show.

“As consumers look to make the most of limited space in the home, the need for clever space optimising solutions is increasing.

“Häfele is one of the top five manufacturers and suppliers of sliding door gear in the country and it’s an area where we’re investing hugely. We offer a wide range of sliding gear, with products that can hold up to one tonne in weight, and everything in between. As you might expect, manufacturers are a big customer of ours and they range from those creating bespoke, artisan designs to major caravan manufacturers.

“Alongside sliding doors, Häfele offers locking and office furniture, as well as our Smart Spaces range. A lot of the innovation in this area is driven by space becoming an increasing premium for the UK homeowner, but also greater multi-generational living. With more families now having several generations under one roof, homes need to be flexible and adapt as households grow and mature. Equally, there’s still a desire for open plan living and creating a clean aesthetic.

“With that in mind, at kbb we’ll be displaying lots of products for the future, encouraging customers to think about the styles and types of solutions for the next 3, 5 and 10 years. This includes our pocket door range; these products are proving incredibly popular at the moment. Concealed within existing walls – and therefore saving space compared to swing doors or exposed sliding solutions – they allow a user to easily create larger, open plan areas for family occasions and socialising, before breaking up spaces to allow different generations to achieve privacy and a space to call their own.

“With a variety of styles available, closed pocket doors become a design feature in themselves, and when not in use those using the space would be none-the-wiser.

“We’re also seeing a growth in technology use in sliding doors, with e-drive wardrobe systems becoming more popular. At kbb, visitors will be able to see how this technology can integrate with our Loox lighting for a really sleek and intelligent finish that sets a new standard for wardrobe design.”
