Where to Use Stacking Doors in Your Home

Stacking doors are a brilliant invention, not just for homes around the world, but for businesses, too. Stacking doors allow you to create a much more flowing space than you’d be able to with regular or sliding doors, and come in such a vast range of styles and materials that everyone is bound to find the right design to suit their home perfectly.

What exactly are stacking doors?

Thinking about the term itself, you might be a little bit confused. Stacking doors do not stack vertically, one on top of the other, like you’d usually imagine with stacking, but one behind the other, like how you would slide one glass pane across to open a sliding door. Stacking doors can do this in more than one panel, sliding back multiple panels to allow a room or house to really open up.

They may also stack together in a folded configuration, like you’ll see in many cafes and restaurants, which can free up the space completely.



 

Where is the best place to put stacking doors in the home?

Like you see in the cafes and restaurants, the number one spot to put in stacking doors is between your indoor and outdoor spaces, especially if you have a big back veranda or an outdoor paved area. This way, you can merge your indoor and outdoor living areas which makes for a breath of fresh air (literally!), especially in the summer months.

Another great place to put stacking doors is if you have rooms that you want to have as open plan living, but you’d also like to separate them at times, too. This might be the case, for example, if you have a kitchen and dining area, that leads on to a living room. If you have kids, you can have them in the living room making noise, while you’re up in the kitchen and dining just relaxing, working, or making dinner.

Or how about the tropical style, where you have stacking doors opening to your bedroom from your living space, opening right in onto your beautiful canopy bed? Combined with some heavy hanging curtains, this can give you a little getaway that also allows you to open your bedroom up if the need arises.
