As an internationally trusted supplier, we’re proud to have supplied components for a range of prestigious, high-end renovation projects across the globe.Here are just some of the places where you can see how our sliding door gear systems were used to create partitions:

The Garden Museum, London

As part of the redevelopment project of central London’s famous Garden Museum, we provided Hawa Variofold 80/H Sliding Door Systems to Icklesham Joinery, who were carrying out the project.

As the museum was situated next to the Lambeth Palace, it was often misunderstood to be a part of the palace and the entrance was overlooked. The aim of the project was to create a new public face for the building by creating a visible separation from the palace. It was also crucial that the doors used offered the best possible views of the gardens. The new entrance does just that, providing a fresh, urban presence, extending the museum using a cluster of copper clad pavilions that form a Cloister garden.

The V and A Museum, London

Our Hawa Super 500/A sliding door systems can be seen supporting the access solutions for the V&A’s new exhibition space.We were asked to specify a system that was simultaneously heavy-load bearing and aesthetically appealing and the Hawa Super 500/A can support doors weighing up to 500kg. The system also has the benefit of supporting various fitting options with the upper track being wall mounted or ceiling mounted.

We have a very varied range and you can see below some of our handpicked solutions that are ideal for creating different kinds of internal or external partitions.

Internal sliding door systems

Interior sliding doors are ideal for sectioning off areas, opening and merging areas and ultimately giving the user complete control of room boundaries. Perfect for set ups that need maximum flexibility, such as meeting rooms, these solutions provide versatility and are an extremely popular design choice within both commercial and domestic settings.
