Cavity door pockets to suit 2040mm and 2340mm refer to components used in the installation of cavity sliding doors, which are doors that slide into a concealed pocket within the wall rather than swinging open like traditional hinged doors.

• Cavity Door Pockets: These are metal frames or kits designed to create the structural framework within a wall cavity to accommodate a sliding door. They are installed during the construction or renovation phase to allow the door to slide smoothly into and out of the wall pocket.
• Suitability for 2040mm and 2340mm Doors:
  • 2040mm: Refers to standard door height dimensions of 2040mm (approximately 6 feet 8 inches).
  • 2340mm: Refers to taller door height dimensions of 2340mm (approximately 7 feet 8 inches).

  The cavity door pockets are specified to accommodate doors of these heights, ensuring that the pocket is appropriately sized to fit the door and allow for smooth operation.

We have the solution you need, whether you want a sliding door that blends into the background quietly or a feature opening to make a statement.

Internal and external doors serve distinct purposes in building design, each tailored to specific functional and aesthetic requirements.

Internal Doors: Internal doors are primarily used within the interior of buildings to delineate spaces, provide privacy, and enhance sound insulation between rooms. They come in various styles, materials, and designs to complement the overall interior decor. Common materials for internal doors include wood (such as oak, pine, or mahogany), composite materials, and sometimes glass panels for a more open feel or to allow light transmission between rooms.

External Doors: External doors, also known as entry doors or exterior doors, are designed to provide security, weather protection, and aesthetic appeal for the main entry points of buildings. They are constructed to withstand outdoor elements such as rain, wind, and temperature fluctuations. External doors are often thicker and more robust than internal ones, commonly made from solid wood (such as oak or mahogany), fibreglass, steel, or aluminium. These materials offer durability, security features (such as reinforced cores and sturdy locks), and insulation properties to maintain energy efficiency within the building. External doors may feature decorative elements, glass panels for natural light, and weatherstripping to prevent drafts and water ingress.

Meranti door and window Stiles refer to components used in constructing doors and windows, particularly those made from Meranti timber.

• Meranti Timber: Meranti is a versatile hardwood species native to Southeast Asia, commonly used in construction and woodworking due to its durability, stability, and attractive appearance. It belongs to the Shorea genus and encompasses several species that vary in color and grain pattern.
• Stiles Definition: In door and window construction, stiles are the vertical or upright components that form the sides of the frame. They provide structural support and contribute to the overall stability of the door or window.
• Usage: Meranti door and window stiles are used primarily for:
  • Door Frames: Stiles form the vertical sides of door frames, providing support and structure for the door.
  • Window Frames: Stiles are also used in window frames to support the glass and window sash, ensuring stability and functionality.
• Characteristics:
  • Durability: Meranti is known for its natural resistance to decay and insect attack, making it suitable for exterior applications such as doors and windows.
  • Appearance: Meranti timber has a generally uniform texture with a moderate to coarse grain pattern. It ranges in colour from pale pink to reddish-brown, often with darker streaks or veins.
