Shoji Sliding Door Info

A timeless traditional and contemporary design, reminiscent of old Kyoto, our sliding Shoji door kit can transform any space into a calming, naturally lit retreat. The kit, including frame, slides on easy to install, double routed wood on wood tracks. Shoji-style doors can be used to enhance a living room, bedroom, kitchen, patio, or to cover glass sliders - and can even be installed as closet doors.

Handcrafted from imported, sustainable Cyprus Wood, our design features a double sided wood lattice, with an exceptionally detailed 3 x 12 rectangular grid design. The mortise & tenon hardwood frame is fully hand finished with your choice of three colors, and a clear protective varnish.

Our *DOUBLE SIDED* doors are available in three colors: traditional zen black, dark walnut with teak tone, or natural light honey colored hardwood.  If you are "price comparing", please note that these doors have the wood grid-work visible on both sides (DOUBLE SIDED), for both aesthetics and integrity. Also, these doors are  ready to ship - Save time and cost with custom Shoji installations by using prefabricated doors. If budget is a concern, we do offer the singled sided option as well. The dimensions for the rough opening are approx: 81.5"H x 72"W x 3.5"D- measurements will vary very slightly as our doors are all solid wood and handcrafted, so we recommend cutting after you have received physical doors and tracks.

KIT INCLUDES: TWO DOUBLE SIDED SHOJI PANELS WITH COMPLETE FRAME. Both the base and ceiling tracks should be installed for proper support, unless your contractor creates a custom top sliding fixture. Each panel is a standard door width, approximately 78 3/4"Tall x 36"Wide x 1 1/8"Deep, sold in pairs (set of two panels). Price includes sliding base and ceiling track measuring approx. 69 5/8" x 1/2" x 1 5/8" as well as two 78 3/4" x 3 1/2" x 1 1/2" door jambs, fastened together by wooden dowels. Door Jambs are optional for installation, particulary if you intend to have multiple kits side by side as in photo.  

The 'rice paper' is made from a reinforced, puncture resistant soft composite paper called "Taf Top" traditionally used in Japan, sturdy but still  letting muted light through. Top photo displays a four door installation (two kits installed side by side) with Tatami mats and Tatami Table, which are available separately.

These are a set size, pre-boxed in sets of two, and already made, custom sizes are *not* offered, but our simple wood on wood track is designed to be easily shortened or extended be so please work with your local designer for advice to customize your room to accommodate your doors. We also have a great book- A JAPANESE TOUCH FOR YOUR HOME- by Koji Yagi, that gives complete layout and design ideas for Japanese décor.

FAQ: Do we offer three panel kits, or additional tracks?

A: Our doors are imported in kits of 2 panels with frame, yet for the price of our double sided door, you should purchase two kits (4 panels) and keep the spare panel in storage for future use as a replacement door. The frame is a simple wood on wood track and can be very easily custom cut to accommodate three panels. 

Can these be used as a pocket door?

Consult with a local contractor for pocket door installation. The tracks that we provide are often too thick and do not extend into wall, and will have to be replaced with a custom track, a prefab. pocket door track available at your local Home Depot may work.

Can I use these outdoors or in a bathroom or hot tub room?

These doors are for indoor, dry use.
