Anyone changed a 'normal' internal door to one of those internal 'cavity' sliding doors?
How do I know it's even possible? I presume there's all manner of beams and shit ('scuse the technifuckincalities) that would need to be changed. Does the wall need to be deconstructed first?
The wall it slides into is massively thick, so I imagine it at least require demolition amd rebuilding of the present wall. If load bearing then I guess its even worse.
If it's an internal stud wall it's probably thick enough to convert to a pocket door. You would need to remove the plasterboard, do a bit of woodwork to create the pocket and fit the hanging slider rail etc, then make good.
We have them but it was done during building work so the house was fucked anyway. However it was just a new stud wall and although there's a rail the doors hang on there was no additional steel work put in to support this and ours are solid wood doors. I really like them money well spent
