Month: March 2022

The Sliding Door Company works exceptionally well with large multifamily developments. Our cities and teams are seeing more construction than ever, and great growth in cities like Austin, Nashville, Atlanta and Washington, D.C. We are proud of the work we have done renovating homes, office buildings, and other businesses across these cities and beyond. We have also teamed up with contractors so that they could have the perfect build. Here are some top industry tips we’re seeing for 2022 in multifamily:

Choose Flooring that Will Last

Flooring is of particular importance because floors can see much heavier foot traffic and furniture movement in rented units than they do in the average home. Renovating the space for durability will not only enhance the living space but give you a chance to provide eye-catching designs and longer-lasting products like tile or vinyl – which have come a long way in recent years and can look great while still lasting and remaining durable. Renters and landlords alike expect flooring options that look good, are easy to clean and hold up to wear and tear. Consider your most high-traffic areas and utilize options that look great while staying on budget!

Create Unique Layouts

Remote work and flex opportunities for employees mean that your units might be better positioned to sell/rent if you include a small desk or office option. As trends progress, we see that open spaces that can be shifted into smaller areas are becoming more popular. In a multifamily unit or office space in say a first floor/shared space setting, these versatile spaces are a must. Our systems and installations can provide the one-of-a-kind layouts you are looking for to improve your property.

Consider High-End Decor

With the millennial generation, the largest demographic of renters, high-end design elements are becoming increasingly popular in multifamily designs. There’s a new trend out there: high-end classics and sophisticated modern elements. A large, open space that is enhanced with high-quality art and installations that showcase your eye for design and make your space stand out. 

Unexpected Properties

It is becoming increasingly common for developers to renovate and repurpose older structures and spaces into living spaces for large families. Community-based living is on the rise as we see higher living costs in cities across the United States. Finding a unique location in a used, older up-and-coming location might be more exciting than a ground-up build. There are still modern amenities that you can pull into a classic-style building!

In this market, there are so many eager buyers, that it makes sense you’re considering a remodel project. Updating your current home to maintain value, or to put it on the market for the maximum return on investment is a smart move. But where do you start? 

We’ve compiled options for you to consider as you prepare for a home renovation.

Where do you Start with a Home Remodel Project?

If you’ve been living in your current home for a decade (or more) there are surely dated rooms that could use a fresh look. Having a process in place can keep you sane and help you stay on track. We suggest you start with a budget. Outline the wishlist of things you want to be done, draft a timeline and start contacting the support team(s) you need to make sure you have the scope and means available. You might immediately see you’ve bitten off more than you can chew. In that case, you can realign to focus on specific things that fit your budget and priorities, and will provide the most profit. 

What Home Improvements Add the Most Value?

Experts always recommend that you begin in a kitchen or bathroom. While this can be expensive, it also can provide the most value. Other tips include simplifying the space, keeping the palette neutral, and gaining things like natural light and flexibility. Often when clients utilize The Sliding Door Company, we see rooms opened up to let more light in with glass room dividers in lieu of traditional wood doors or drywall. 

How to Organize Your Home Renovation

Design, plan, reach out to contractors, compare quotes… the to-do list can seem never-ending! You might need to obtain permits. One thing that’s great about utilizing The Sliding Door Company in your remodel is that there won’t be permits required, and in most cases, we can handle the installation for you! While you might be tempted to focus on mere cosmetic quick changes, be sure to consider the bigger picture. It might be smart to have an inspector check your home for major layout updates. 

Best Bets for Interior Finishes

Knowing current styles and trends may help your home sell. Even if it isn‘t your taste, it might be that of your future buyer. You might want to add room dividers to create a bonus room or home office where one didn’t exist, or you might want to open up a laundry room or pantry in a tight hallway by utilizing a sliding glass door. Modernize your space with clean lines that anyone can appreciate to stand out from other homes on the market!

Do you recall that friend or family member with an old-school hidden pocket door? The one with the little hook you had to precariously grab? It was hard to push open or pull closed and never latched properly (we’ve fixed that with our amazing handles). The good news is those are a thing of the past. We have come a long way in pantry and sliding doors, and now they’re so beautiful, you won’t want to hide them! 

If your door ‘disappears’ into the wall when it’s open, that’s a pocket door. It is different from our sliding doors and barn doors because our doors are visible, open, or closed. The pantry is one of the most important parts of the kitchen. Our glass doors will help accentuate and bring out that area.

Learn more about all the options we offer for your upgrade:

Pantry Barn Door

Barn doors are the most searched item on our site, the biggest trend this year, and there is no mistaking why. These types of doors save space and help you utilize every inch of your busy kitchen. Our sleek, glass options customized with the opacity of your dreams, will fit right into your already styled kitchen.  

Pantry Bifold Doors

Our Bifold Doors are another fan favorite. A perfect option for a house full of kiddos, these high-quality doors open allowing your full range of items to be on display, or locked up tight to keep the snacking to a minimum! Best of all, though, is our unique, anti-finger pinch system that will protect even the littlest of fingers. 

Pantry Swing and Sliding Doors 

If you are looking for a more traditional look to your kitchen, try out our sliding glass doors. Just like all of our other products, you can choose the glass opacity to match your aesthetic. 

Pantry Pocket Doors

Pinterest and other sites are full of “DIY Doors” that look so fun and creative and easy to create. We’ve found in our vast experience it’s never as fun or easy as one would think! If you’re more the ‘want it done right’ type – we hear you. You can be stylish yet practical and we can help! 

The pocket door left common culture because of the difficulties with functionality. The good news is that with solutions from The Sliding Door Company, you don’t have to sacrifice space. You can still purchase a stunning door that will not only function better than a pocket door, it will also improve the whole look and feel of your space!
