Interior doors are both functional and decorative, essential for dividing spaces and defining the style of a room. Sometimes a simple hinged opening isn’t feasible for various reasons, primarily lack of space.
To address these issues, Piquadro Porte offers several alternative opening solutions to the traditional hinged opening: Double-door or folding door (symmetrical or asymmetrical); Pocket sliding door (internal wall casing); Sliding door with pelmet (with external wall track); Invisible door (with a completely invisible track embedded in the panel); Swing-and-slide door (thanks to its combined rotation and translation mechanism, it significantly reduces the space required compared to traditional doors).
