Why Use an Accordion Door ?

Accordion doors can be used in a variety of ways where ordinary doors cannot be used, but where they simple substitute an ordinary door, accordion doors have the benefit of using up less space since they don't swing in or out.

In this, accordion doors have similar benefits as pocket doors. But while pocket doors need a space left or right of the door opening to disappear into or slide to, accordion doors remain completely within the area opened and can thus also be used as room dividers and noise reducers in large, cavernous rooms.
