I've been looking for a company in Sydney that supposedly make cavity sliders for brick walls.

I was told they exist by a carpenter but he had no idea who makes them.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks.

Has anyone used these cavity sliders before?

I've got them specified on some plans but hadn't heard of them before now?

Googled and ended up here....

I have used them on two houses I had built. The first was back in 1984 and again in 1989. Great space-savers.
In those days the up-market builders fitted them to ensuites and pantries and the like. They were initially more expensive, but worth every extra cent. I never had a problem with them and they look very tidy to the point that most people didn't even know a door existed inside the wall.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I have even retro-fitted one myself. It was relatively easy to do.

Try "Corinthian Doors" - "Slimline 3000".
Hope this helps and sorry, but I don't know how to post a link.:B

The current display Im currently on is using "cavity" sliders. The track is a lintel with an aluminum track fitted to the special lintel. The cavity has to be free of any obstructions inclusive of cavity ties and dags etc.

The fixing carpenter was having a horrible time getting the one I saw fitted in the cavity due to the design of the wall.

The cavity sliders aren't really that space saving. They require "2" walls to slide between. The second wall plus cavity say eg: 4 metres x eg:160mm = 1m2. Many walls are much bigger. If you have to build two walls and fit the construction cost goes through the roof for one door.

Standard internal sliding doors are much cheaper.
