Project Overview
Dean Burnett has lived in his detached, semi-rural home for 30 years. During a recent renovation, he identified a common architectural challenge: how to effectively divide a large open space without losing the sense of connection and light.
The goal was to create a stylish transition between the cosy, carpeted lounge and the practical, tiled kitchen and dining area. Dean needed a solution that offered the "best of both worlds"—the ability to close off the lounge for warmth and privacy while maintaining a modern, open-plan feel.
Why Aluspace Internal Sliding Doors With Reeded Galss?
After an online search, Dean was drawn to Vufold due to our strong reputation and positive customer reviews. He ultimately selected the AluSpace Internal Sliding Door with a bespoke twist: central reeded glass.
The choice was driven by two factors:
- Space Management:The sliding mechanism was the perfect choice to divide the lounge and kitchen without the footprint of a traditional swinging door, maximising the usable floor space in both rooms.
- Aesthetic & Privacy:The central reeded glass panels were chosen specifically to allow light to flow between the rooms while providing a sophisticated level of obscured privacy—ideal for masking the hustle and bustle of the kitchen from the relaxing lounge area.
Installation & Results
Dean found the entire experience with Vufold to be "very easy," rating every category—from price and ease of ordering to delivery and quality—a perfect 5 out of 5.
As a confident DIYer, Dean was able to handle the installation himself. The result is a seamless, high-end finish that looks exactly as the family had imagined. The black slimline aluminium frames provide a striking industrial-chic look that beautifully defines the two different floor finishes (carpet and tile) while the door itself feels solid and premium to the touch.
Customer Feedback
Dean was highly impressed with the solid build quality and the "as-imagined" aesthetic of the final product. Reflecting on his overall experience and his 5-star review, when asked if he would recommend Vufold, Dean added:
"Absolutely, yes. The product feels solid and looks exactly as we had imagined. It’s easy to install if you have good DIY skills; otherwise, get a tradesperson to do it."
We would like to say a huge thank you to Dean for sharing his project with us and for his fantastic 5-star feedback. It is always a pleasure to hear from customers who have lived in their homes for many years and choose Vufold to help with their latest renovations. We are absolutely delighted to see the impact our AluSpace sliding doors have had on Dean's home—perfectly balancing that need for light and privacy. It is wonderful to know the product looks and feels exactly as imagined, and we hope the family enjoys the new space for many more years to come.
