Sliding timber doors with a concealed track have become a popular choice in Singapore, especially for HDB flats, BTO and condos, and modern landed homes. These doors combine elegance and functionality, offering a sleek, minimalist look while maximizing space. Sliding timber doors with concealed tracks work by using a hidden track system, typically mounted in the wall, ceiling, or a pelmet, to allow the door to slide smoothly and quietly. The hidden track system, often paired with a wood pelmet, ensures that the mechanism is completely covered, creating a seamless design that blends naturally with any interior.
Single Track, Single Door Panel
A single track, single door panel refers to a horizontal sliding door system that consists of one door panel moving along a single track, ideal for areas with limited space like balconies or small rooms.
How the System Works
A single door panel slides horizontally across the wall, without requiring floor space for door swing. The track is mounted above the opening and hidden by the pelmet, giving the door a modern, minimalist appearance.
Key Features & Hardware
- Concealed Track System (SKU386 / SKU2832):
The sliding motion runs along a hidden track. Homeowners can select soft-closing rollers (SKU2832) for quieter operation. - Roller & Door Guide (SKU1756):
Keeps the door aligned and prevents wobbling or sticking over time. - Recessed Handle Options:
- Square Handle – SKU415
- Oval Handle – SKU411

Installation Requirements

- Minimum 13cm height required for mounting concealed track
- Pelmet finishing must be selected during order:
- raw

Double Track, Double Door Panel (Synchronized)
A double track, double door panel synchronized system is a type of sliding door where two panels are connected to move together in unison. For wider openings, the double track system with two synchronised sliding panels is popular.
How the System Works
- Double Track:
Two concealed tracks allow both panels to slide independently while remaining hidden behind the pelmet. - Double Door Panels:
Each door has its own track, creating a symmetrical sliding setup. - Synchronised Movement:
Pulling one door causes the other panel to move at the same time.
This is made possible through:- synchronised roller system
- guiding mechanism
The result is smooth and balanced motion.
Structural Requirements
- Solid concrete wall or reinforced partition
- Minimum 13cm pelmet height
- Pelmet finishing must be indicated during ordering

Two-Way Double Sliding Panel (Without Fixed Panel)
A two-way double sliding panel without a fixed panel, also known as a two-leaf, consists of two movable panels that slide to either side to open. This design is space-saving because neither panel is fixed, and it provides a full opening that creates a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.
