Modern, space-saving sliding doors for NYC apartments and homes. Get the room you need while keeping your space bright and open.
Living in New York means making every square foot count. You need an extra bedroom, a home office, or just some privacy. But here’s the problem – traditional walls make rooms feel dark and cramped.
With glass sliding doors on your temporary wall, you can split your space without losing natural light. One room becomes two. And both stay bright and welcoming.
Perfect when you want to divide space but keep things open and airy. Light passes through freely, making both rooms feel larger. Great for creating a bedroom in a studio while keeping your living area bright.
Want privacy without darkness? Frosted glass gives you both. You get a private bedroom or office space while still letting light through. No one can see in, but you’re not sitting in a cave.
Single door – One panel slides along the wall. Simple, clean, takes up less space. Perfect for smaller openings.
Double doors – Two panels that slide past each other or stack. Wider openings, more dramatic look. Great for larger spaces or when you want a grand entrance.
Let’s be real – NYC apartments aren’t known for being spacious. Most of us are working with:
Sliding doors solve these problems without the commitment of permanent walls.
Here’s a common NYC scenario: You add a temporary wall to create a second bedroom. Great! Now you have the space you need. But… one room has no window. It’s dark. Depressing. Nobody wants to sleep in a cave.
We hear this all the time.
The room with the window shares its light with the new room. Both spaces stay bright. You get your privacy at night when you close the door. During the day? Keep it open or let light stream through the glass.
You can even choose frosted glass if you want privacy 24/7 while still getting that natural light.
Go with clear glass if:
Choose frosted glass if:
Can’t decide? We can do half-frosted, too. Bottom half frosted for privacy, top half clear for maximum light. Best of both worlds.
This matters in NYC apartments where every inch counts.
Traditional hinged door: Needs 3-4 feet of clearance to swing open. That’s space you can’t use for furniture, storage, or anything else.
Sliding door: Needs zero clearance. The door slides along the wall. That means you get back 3-4 feet of usable floor space in each room.
In a 10×10 bedroom, that’s huge. You can fit a dresser where the door swing used to be. Or a desk. Or just walk around without bumping into things.
Good question. Glass doors look great, but what about privacy?
You have options:
Option 1: Frosted Glass
Permanent privacy. Light comes through, but nobody can see in. Perfect for bedrooms and bathrooms.
Option 2: Clear Glass + Curtains
Put up curtains or shades on your side. Pull them closed when you want privacy. Open them when you want light and an open feeling.
Option 3: Half-Frosted Design
We can frost just the bottom portion. You get privacy where it matters (at eye level when sitting or lying down) and maximum light up top.

It depends on size and customization. Basic single doors start around $1,500-$2,000. Larger or more complex setups can run $3,000-$5,000. We’ll give you an exact quote based on your specific needs.
Usually no. Our sliding doors on temporary walls typically don’t require permits in NYC. We’re not doing permanent construction or moving plumbing/electrical. But every building is different, so we’ll help you check with your landlord or building management.
Most installations are done in 3-4 hours. We schedule it when it’s convenient for you. You don’t need to take a whole day off work.
Yes! The whole point of temporary walls is that they’re removable. We can take down the doors and wall and reinstall them at your next place. Or you can sell them to the next tenant.
Not at all. Our track systems are designed for smooth, quiet operation. No rattling, no scraping, no noise. You can open and close them at 2am without waking anyone.
No problem. We work with all ceiling heights. NYC apartments range from 8 feet to 12+ feet. We customize everything to fit your exact space.
Somewhat. They’re not as soundproof as a solid wall, but they do reduce noise transfer. For better sound blocking, we can add weatherstripping and use thicker glass. Or combine them with soundproofing materials in the wall itself.
