Providing efficient use of space, ease of access, and a stunning modern aesthetic, sliding doors are an excellent addition to almost every setting.
Whilst they’re a popular option for homeowners in need of an alternative to traditional outward-swinging doors to help save precious floor space, they’re also a great choice for various commercial spaces – maximising available square footage and effortlessly enhancing functionality.
But which commercial spaces benefit most from sliding door systems?
In this post, our experts at Runners cover everything you need to know for your next professional project.

They can be used in a number of different ways, creating privacy when needed and opening up to create an open-plan feel to help your clients achieve their ideal office layout.
So, whether they want to introduce quiet, flexible working spaces, or section off a part of the room for client meetings, training, and team-building activities, make sliding doors your top recommendation.

Our Slide and Stack Doors are also an excellent option for office spaces, offering an innovative, easy-to-use partition system that’s the perfect space-saving alternative to installing traditional walls and doors.
Offering an efficient, space-saving solution for exits and entrances, sliding door systems are also a great option for your clients looking to maximise square footage within a retail environment.
Every inch of space counts, especially in smaller or busier brick-and-mortar stores, and sliding doors allow for a smooth flow of customers in and out, without taking up the additional floor space needed for outward swinging doors.
Glass sliding doors, in particular, are a wonderful addition to any retail store, providing a chic, transparent barrier that invites customers in and keeps the interior visible.
In addition to this, sliding doors can enhance security, thanks to their sturdy locking mechanisms. Perfect for your customers who need extra peace of mind that their store is safe.
Sliding doors are a common feature in hospitals and other healthcare facilities, favoured for their space-saving capabilities and clean, modern aesthetic.
Space efficiency and accessibility are paramount in healthcare settings, and sliding doors are often used in hospitals, clinics, and medical offices to maximise available square footage in high-traffic areas.
They can also be used in patient rooms, either on shared wards or in private rooms, to optimise layout and enhance privacy.
Sliding doors are commonly used in the hospitality industry, making a particularly attractive addition to hotels.
These systems are most often used to connect guest rooms to balconies or patios, providing a smooth, easy transition from indoors to out, whilst of course saving precious floor space.
Our Tommaslide Bottom Rolling System for Patio Doors is engineered for durability and ease of use, making it the ideal recommendation for your client’s exterior hotel sliding door needs.
