Schiebetür
Schiebetür is the German term for a sliding door. It refers to a door that opens horizontally along a track, typically moving parallel to a wall. Sliding doors can separate rooms, connect indoor and outdoor spaces, or act as partitions in open-plan layouts. Depending on the design, the door may be mounted on a top track, a bottom guide, or be housed in a pocket within the wall.
Common configurations include pocket doors that disappear into a wall cavity, and surface-mounted or semi-recessed systems
Materials vary: framed glass sliding doors are common for living areas and patios; timber, aluminum, or composite
Advantages include space savings, flexible layout, and easy access with lower thresholds. Drawbacks can include higher
In construction practice, Schiebetüren require precise wall openings or framing, correct track alignment, and appropriate mounting
