Push, pull or push? - A small question that has a major influence on the overall interior design, room utilisation and living comfort.
The decision is often in favour of sliding doors when it comes to access solutions for smaller rooms. And these are multiplying, as the population and economic growth in cities means that areas are becoming denser and living and office spaces are becoming smaller. As a result, urban tiny houses and modern micro-apartments are increasingly being built, posing new challenges for interior design. Sliding doors can be particularly helpful in these small and angled living situations: they create space! While the opening radius of classic interior doors still needs to be taken into account in the interior design, sliding doors offer much more flexibility in this respect. They can be opened along the wall or even slide into the wall.
It is precisely these dynamic solutions that provide structure and living comfort in minimalist living situations, such as micro-apartments. GARANT fulfils the desire for a little more privacy in bedrooms or wet rooms. Whether it's sliding doors for offices, flats, angled old buildings or classic living spaces, GARANT has the right solution.

Create structures!
Sliding doors are not only useful for dividing up small rooms, but also large rooms. Without visual partitions, a large room can quickly appear lost and unstructured. Sliding door elements are perfect here as a modern room divider. For example, they can be used as a partition between the kitchen and living room or to visually separate the home office workspace from the living room.
Enlarge rooms visually
- More light enters the mostly smaller rooms behind.
- From the outside, it is immediately clear when a meeting is taking place without any annoying knocking.
- The room is visually enlarged. Even with several people in a small room, you don't feel cramped.
GARANT's practical vestibule elements for floor-to-ceiling interior doors allow even more light to enter. Sliding doors with glass cut-outs can also be a design highlight in living rooms. For example, dark corridors can be flooded with natural light from other rooms.
Hidden or visible?
When open, a sliding door can be a design element in its own right or emphasise the rest of the interior design. How does this work? With GARANT's special internal track mechanism, the sliding door can slide into the wall when opened. This leaves the adjacent wall free for further interior design. The classic sliding door fittings, on the other hand, guide the sliding doors along the wall. This also has a unique effect on the living atmosphere! The running box fitted on the outside can be matched to the colours and decor of the door elements. The focus is therefore on the design of the sliding door. Both the inside track mechanism and the classic design can be operated quietly thanks to the soft-closing mechanism
Barrier-free with the sliding door
Harmonious design
GARANT sliding doors are available in a variety of versions and designs. For a combination of classic doors and sliding doors, GARANT offers harmonious solutions with many individual components. As with all other interior doors, there is a choice of closed door leaves, doors with glass cut-outs or all-glass doors.
Quick tips: You should consider these criteria when choosing a sliding door
- How much space does the living situation offer?
- Is the overall design harmonious? Coordinate the design of your interior doors and the sliding doors.
- How loud can it be? Sliding doors with soft-close mechanisms are particularly suitable for sensitive hearing and neighbours with good hearing.
- How bright are the rooms? Glass elements or all-glass sliding doors make your room brighter and make it appear larger.
- Do you have individual requirements? Remote control, motion detectors and the like increase living comfort.
