As more and more hotels and commercial buildings specify the Eclisse pocket glass door system, especially for en-suites, it is becoming clear a certain amount of light and shadow to show through from the en-suite to the bedroom is acceptable and desiderable.
Already used widely in the UK this system has recently been specified for the Grosvenor Mansions refurb, Empire Hotels and the future Radisson Hotel in Coventry. These are just some of the latest commercial projects which have chosen Eclisse pocket systems to give more space and light in their interiors without compromising contemporary design.
The Eclisse pocket sliding doors are a real alternative to conventional doors and allow designers to have an extra 10% of space to play with. The result dramatically transforms a room giving a feeling of openness, space and light making a much better place to be.
Using the very latest production technology Eclisse products have rapidly changed the markets ideas of sliding doors. An integrated steel system that is really easy to fit and is complete with all the necessary fittings including a professionally produced wooden jamb kit that ensures the final product looks the part.
Specific design advantages have made Eclisse the favorite with builders, developers and the end users:
• easy to transport to the installation point,
• simple and quick to assemble and fit,
• the strongest of its type on the market
• has an extractable track system
• professionally finishing joinery kit
• tested to more than 150,000 cycles more than 25 years normal use
• anti warp profiles
The doors are made by Karis, a highly respected glass maker near Venice in Italy, from 10mm tempered safety glass that fully complies with the European norms. Frameless glass doors create a much lighter, roomier feel and the Eclisse sliding door system gives rooms extra space.
Can tradition and modern technology get married? Sometimes the answer is yes. It is a case of a perfect union among the Empire Hotel (in Llandudno, North Wales), Eclisse sliding door systems and Karis Venetian glass doors.
Elyse Waddy, manager and owner of the Empire Hotel and of the elegant Osborne House, wants to refurbish thirty en-suites in her Victorian buildings. The hotel is a family business established in 1946, when her grandparents came to North Wales and started their trade.
“The peculiarity of our hotel – she explains – is its Victorian character strengthen by its impressive position in the picturesque seaside resort of Llandudno. We are a traditional hotel but with a boutique feel in style and new bathrooms reflect that newer feel”.
For her ongoing project, she has choosen Eclisse and Karis glass sliding doors as they give a new and modern renovation to the rooms, without compromising the peculiarity of the Victorian style. The glass pocket doors seemlessly disappear into the wall cavities and the glass panels allow light to flood through the room.
The Eclisse system uses an ingenious frame mounted, self-centering guide so there is no threshold to interrup floor surfaces.
Along with the metal frame a finishing joinery kit is supplied which makes the finished product a beautiful and professionally finished sliding door.
