CS Cavity Sliders custom engineering enables this 2m-wide glass panel door to be cleverly concealed in the wall when not in use, providing seamless flow for this Auckland home.
Eboss featured CS Cavity Sliders (CS For Doors) in an article spotlighting this beautiful tropical Kohimarama home. The Auckland home features a made to measure CS New Yorker aluminium glazed door, with a soft close CS SquareFormed cavity slider, a CS Bi-Parting cavity slider in the office and a soft close CS Cavity Slider with CL400 Magnetic privacy handles within the master ensuite.
From the article:
To provide connection between the existing space and the new lounge in the extension, the architects designed a large 2m-wide passageway with a glass panel sliding door to separate the spaces. When open, they wanted the door to be concealed within a pocket, so the wall feels uninterrupted. With the weight of the large glass panel in mind, they also wanted a soft close mechanism to make sure it wouldn’t damage the wall or door.
Peter Zhang, Business Development Manager at CS For Doors worked with the architects and homeowners to find the right solution for the project. “We spent a lot of time considering functionality and how the door could be concealed to create that wow factor when not in use,” explains Peter. “At over 100kg, the door also needed heavy duty aluminium for the extrusion, carriages and mounting plate so that the hardware could carry that heavy weight.”
The CS For Doors team engineered a bespoke solution featuring a made-to-measure New Yorker aluminium glazed door, with a soft close CS SquareFormed cavity slider which combines a full height detail and no closing jamb. The aluminium was custom finished to match the colours of the adjacent window joinery, helping to achieve the seamless, minimal look the clients wanted. This attention to detail has resulted in a solution that perfectly hits the brief — it is subtle when in use, matching the home’s aesthetic, and unnoticeable when hidden away in the cavity.
Another smart solution in the home is a CS Bi-Parting cavity slider used in the office. The architects specified the cavity slider in a two-door bi-parting configuration to increase the sense of space and connect the lounge area to the southern view from the office when opened, which looks onto neighbouring pohutukawa.
