ECLISSE at the Homebuilding & Renovating Show London 2026
ECLISSE UK was delighted to exhibit at the Homebuilding & Renovating Show London 2026, bringing innovative pocket door and concealed door solutions to homeowners, self-builders, architects, designers and trade professionals at ExCeL London.
Held from 18–20 September 2026, the London Homebuilding & Renovating Show provided three days of inspiration, expert advice and the latest products for anyone planning a home renovation, extension, self-build or interior transformation. ECLISSE was proud to be part of the event at stand F149, where visitors could discover how clever door systems can help maximise space and create a seamless, contemporary interior.
A successful weekend at HBR Show London
The Homebuilding & Renovating Show is an important event in the UK home improvement calendar, bringing together thousands of people looking for ideas, expert guidance and practical solutions for their projects.
For ECLISSE, the show was a fantastic opportunity to meet people face-to-face and demonstrate the benefits of pocket doors, flush doors and concealed door systems.
Rather than simply looking at a product in a brochure or online, visitors to the ECLISSE stand could see how our systems work and explore the design possibilities available for modern homes.
From homeowners considering a renovation to architects, interior designers, builders and installers, the conversations at the show highlighted the growing interest in making better use of available space without compromising on style.
Discovering the benefits of pocket doors
One of the key areas of interest at the ECLISSE stand was the use of pocket doors as a space-saving solution.
Unlike a traditional hinged door, a pocket door slides into a concealed pocket within the wall when opened. This removes the need for the door swing area, helping to free up valuable floor and wall space.
For homeowners, this can make a noticeable difference in areas such as:
- Open-plan living spaces
- Kitchens and dining areas
- En-suites and bathrooms
- Bedrooms
- Home offices
- Utility rooms
- Walk-in wardrobes
- Extensions and new-build homes
Pocket doors can also help create greater flexibility between rooms. A space can be opened up when required and then separated again simply by closing the door.
Creating a cleaner, more contemporary interior
Alongside space saving, the appearance of a door can have a significant impact on an interior.
ECLISSE offers a range of solutions designed to create everything from a more traditional architectural finish to a minimalist, almost seamless appearance.
The ECLISSE Syntesis Flush Collection, for example, provides architrave-free pocket and concealed hinged door solutions for interiors where clean lines and minimal detailing are important.
This type of concealed door design can be particularly effective in contemporary homes, where the aim is to create a calm and uncluttered aesthetic.
For projects where a more traditional appearance is preferred, the ECLISSE Classic Collection provides pocket door systems with architraves.
With different systems and door options available, pocket doors can be incorporated into a wide variety of architectural and interior design styles.
Advice for homeowners, architects and installers
One of the biggest benefits of an exhibition such as the Homebuilding & Renovating Show is the opportunity to speak directly with specialists.
The ECLISSE team was on hand throughout the show to answer questions about pocket door systems, including choosing the right system, planning requirements and installation.
This is particularly useful when considering a pocket door at the early stages of a project. Including the door system in the design from the beginning can help ensure that the necessary wall construction, dimensions and finishing details are properly considered.
For builders and installers, understanding how a pocket door frame integrates into the wall is equally important. ECLISSE has dedicated training facilities and resources available to support professionals working with its systems.
Space-saving design for modern homes
The conversations at HBR Show London reflected a wider interest in making every part of a home work harder.
With many homeowners looking to improve existing properties rather than simply increase their footprint, thoughtful space planning is becoming increasingly important.
A pocket door is a relatively simple design decision that can help achieve this.
By moving the door into the wall rather than across the room, previously unusable space around a doorway can become available for furniture, storage or simply improved circulation.
This can be especially valuable in smaller rooms, where every square metre matters.
