SDC changed the dynamic of my living space and added the feeling of more square feet.
We added sliding doors between family room and office. More often the doors are open to give an open loft feel, but when I work in there for hours at a time it's closed with no distractions-my own cocoon.
During the day the frosted glass matches the wall color and at night it glows like a lantern, I'm thinking of adding colored floor led's.
For 2k and custom fitting it was a bargain. i feel like we put an addition onto our condo highrise condo. Archytype on Sep 13, 2009

Let me first say that as an interior designer, I always strive to employ the best components to my clients in every space that I design. With that said, my reputation is on the line with just about every job that I do. Sliding Door Co - while it has a nice product, has hung me high on delivery - time and time again. Walking in the office with three voicemails from site contractors yelling in my ear over another failed delivery isn't the way I prefer to begin my mornings. It seems that every door is now a "standard size" and will only take three weeks delivery. Reality is three times that in my experience.. usually 6-10 weeks. It is a shame b/c they have a decent product.

As far as the product itself, cost is a little high - but not one of my cheif concerns - I guess, b/c I'm not paying for it. The product functions well, overall. My biggest issue with the design is the thick, bulky bottom track that obstructs the floor - I prefer top-hung systems... and get ALOT of stubbed toe complaints. The cheesy "dividers" that tape to the glass are not a favorite of mine .. enough said.

Other options I found are Open Close Doors (www.openclosedoors.com), who have a superior product (in my opinion) and never fail on delivery... and lead time is decent. The price point is the same as SDC, and (my fav) is there's not intrusive bottom track laying across your floor...they are all top-hung. Ikea's PAX series (www.Ikea.com) is a practical solution, but the quality is a little less than SDC and my site contractors hate installing ANYTHING that shows up that must be pre-assembled with a bag of 60-70 screws and nuts... but nonetheless a solution.

Bottom line - SDC is a decent product.... I just can't seem to ever get it delivered! interiorfab on Jun 21, 2009
