Eclisse pocket door kits - Designed with the installer in mind...
Eclisse pocket door systems have been thoughtfully designed to make assembly and installation a straightforward job.

They offer a range of sizes that are made to fit standard UK door sizes, you just pick the kit that fits your standard door size.
Upcoming New Product – White Timber Lining Kits
From the beginning of September 2024, we are excited to announce that we will be introducing new White Timber Lining Kits to our collection.
Our new white jambs not only make things quicker and easier when installing an ECLISSE Pocket Door System, they also enhance the finished look.
We will be switching to primed white jambs for the following classic standard size finished wall thicknesses (marked in green in the table below):
Sizing an Eclisse Pocket Door
Eclisse pocket door systems have been designed to use standard materials used in wall construction and are designed to fit:
- Common standard stud sizes- both timber and metal
- 12.5mm plasterboard
- A wide range of standard UK door sizes.
Sizing a Pocket Door System starts with understanding the thickness of studwork it is being installed into. Eclisse offer the widest range of pocket door thicknesses on the market. This makes matching the pocket door frame to the studwork easy… which in turn makes the job of the installer easier too.
Studwork for a Pocket Door
Stud walls in domestic housing have been traditionally built from 4”x2” and 3”x2” timbers (Nb. there is some important information about the actual finished sizes of different types of stud- see table below). The image here shows a typical arrangement for a stud wall built to incorporate a traditional hinged door. Once built the studwork is then clad in sheets of 12.5mm thick plasterboard.
The only difference when preparing your studwork for an ECLISSE pocket door system as compared to a traditional hinged door is that you will create a larger opening to accommodate the overall frame size of the pocket door frame. A couple of things to take into account whilst doing this are:
- Ensure you install the frame at finished floor level
- Make the studwork strong enough to support the weight of the doors being installed
- Ensure your studwork is plumb and inline
The Eclisse pocket door frame assembles easily into a complete unit which is then installed into the studwork. The pocket and the rest of the wall is then clad in plasterboard.
