From e-learning to work-from-home to more time for self-care, life at home has been thrown for a loop during the pandemic. In fact, as families have had to demand more usability from their living spaces the entire concept of the open floor plan has been called into question. As early as June 2020, both Zillow
and Houzz indicated trends away from popular open-concept floor plans in favor of home layouts with more rooms offering better privacy.
A survey by Zillow and the Harris Poll(1) found that 27% of homeowners would consider moving to a home with more rooms after spending time at home during the pandemic. Houzz included “rethinking the open floor plan” on its list of 2021 home design predictions(2), and recently reported that interest for more dedicated activity spaces is up dramatically year-over-year, including home offices (up 108%), home gyms (up 156%), and dedicated art studios (up 875%)(3).
Repurposing existing spaces to meet your new lifestyle needs is easy with Johnson Hardware’s wide variety of sliding door hardware options. Unlike traditional wall framing and swing doors, which take up time, money, and floor space, Johnson Hardware’s sliding door hardware is easily installed by any experienced handyman or remodeler, with results that work with your lifestyle and your budget.
For families that want to stay healthy while staying home, the 111MD Multi-Pass Door Hardware is a great option for dividing a home fitness space. The kit is able to accommodate up to 150 lbs. per door on a heavy-gauge, precision-extruded aluminum track up to 192 inches long. The top-hung hardware pairs with a bottom door guide track that can be routed flush to the floor or surface mounted, depending on your needs. The doors will all stack to
one side on the smooth, jump-proof track that’s made to withstand frequently used spaces.
Need to close off your breakfast nook to give the kids a quiet place for their classroom Zoom session? Johnson’s 200BP Bypass Pocket Door Hardware is the perfect solution. Jump-proof door hangers and smooth rolling nylon-encapsulated ball bearing hanger wheels ensure smooth and quiet operation. The trackless door guides eliminate the need for bottom guide tracks for an unobstructed threshold between spaces. Choose from 2- or 4-door configurations to fit openings up to 189.5 inches wide.
Make life with the whole family at home a little easier with the Series 1562 Pocket Door Frame Kit. This series allows you to divide spaces with minimal wall obstruction, meaning you can keep the open concept feel, while enjoying the benefits of dividing one room from another. Designed to carry two heavy, solid-core doors in standard 2x6 timber or steel-framed stud walls, choose from bypass or converging door configurations to suit your space.
These ideas are just the start of all the options that sliding door hardware can bring to how your home operates!
