From waterproof bathroom doors and soundproof bedroom doors to triple sliding glass kitchen partitions and space-saving ghost door systems — CASAWAVE designs, supplies and installs custom interior doors across HDB, condo and landed properties in Singapore.
Singapore's humidity averages above 80% year-round, and interior spaces — particularly bathrooms, kitchens and enclosed bedrooms — put significant stress on conventional door materials and hardware over time.
Each door system solves a different spatial or performance challenge. The right choice depends on the room, the opening dimensions, the available wall space and what the door needs to do.
Three glass panels on a synchronised OPK track system — pulling one panel moves all three simultaneously, opening two-thirds of the entryway. The most effective solution for enclosing HDB and condo wet kitchens without blocking light or shrinking the visual footprint of the space.
An aluminium extrusion core with eco-board surface veneer — waterproof, termite-resistant and 45mm solid throughout. The door face aligns flush with the corridor wall, creating a seamless wall plane with no visible frame protrusion. Suitable for bedroom, bathroom and toilet applications across HDB and condo units.
A sliding door on a fully concealed overhead track with no floor rail. The mechanism is hidden above the door, leaving the floor clear and the wall surface uninterrupted when the door is open. Well-suited for HDB bedroom corridors where a swing door would obstruct movement or furniture placement.
The door slides completely into a built-in wall cavity, disappearing from view when fully open. This eliminates all swing clearance requirements and maximises usable floor space — particularly valuable in compact HDB bathrooms and toilets where every square foot matters. Requires wall cavity construction during renovation.
Ultra-slim aluminium frames that fold neatly to the side, opening the full width of the aperture. Suitable for balcony-to-living transitions, study room partitions and any situation where a clear, unobstructed opening is needed when the door is retracted. The slim profile keeps the focus on the glass rather than the frame.
Rotates on a central or offset axis using a floor-integrated hydraulic pivot system, allowing oversized door panels that would be impractical on standard hinges. Creates a strong architectural gesture at entrances to landed homes, large condominiums or master suites where a conventional hinged door would appear undersized.
Different rooms have different requirements. The right door system depends on the specific constraints of each space — available swing clearance, moisture exposure, acoustic needs and visual continuity with surrounding joinery.
The primary concern for bedroom doors in Singapore is sound privacy, not just visual privacy. Standard hollow-core HDB bedroom doors transmit noise with minimal resistance. A 45mm solid aluminium-core flush door with acoustic perimeter sealing provides meaningful sound reduction. For bedrooms facing narrow corridors, ghost or pocket sliding systems eliminate swing conflicts with furniture or opposing doors.
Bathroom and toilet doors in Singapore are exposed to daily moisture, steam and occasional water splashing — conditions that cause timber doors to warp, swell and eventually rot. An aluminium-core door eliminates these failure modes entirely. For compact HDB bathrooms where a swing door requires too much clearance, a pocket door sliding into the wall cavity is the most space-efficient and durable solution.
Enclosing a wet kitchen from the living area is one of the most common renovation decisions in Singapore. A triple sliding glass door on an OPK synchronised track system allows the kitchen to remain fully visible and connected to the living space when open, while forming a complete enclosure when closed — keeping cooking fumes, steam and grease contained without blocking natural light.
Walk-in wardrobe entrances benefit from sliding systems that do not intrude into the dressing floor area. A ghost sliding door on a concealed track keeps the opening clear and the aesthetic consistent with the wardrobe interior joinery. Where the wardrobe opening is wider, a bifold system can open the full aperture for maximum visibility into the storage space. Read more about our wardrobe systems here.
Study rooms benefit from a combination of visual connection to the rest of the home and acoustic separation when focus is needed. A glass panel option — whether as a full glass door or glass insert within an aluminium frame — allows natural light to pass between spaces while the door is closed. A magnetic latch and solid construction help reduce noise breakthrough significantly compared to a hollow-core panel.
For landed homes or larger condo units where the entrance or a key interior threshold deserves a stronger architectural presence, a pivot door creates a visual statement that a standard hinged door cannot match. The pivot mechanism allows for taller and wider door panels, and the movement itself — rotating on a floor-integrated axis — is distinctive in a way that sets a clear tone for the interior beyond it.
Door quality is not only about the surface you can see. The door leaf construction, frame system, hardware specification and edge detailing all affect how the door performs, feels and lasts. See our full materials guide for context on board and material directions.
The door leaf is what you see and touch. The frame is what holds alignment over years of use. Both need to be specified correctly for the application.
The hardware determines daily experience — how the door feels to operate, whether it closes quietly, and how long it remains in proper adjustment.
Standard HDB bedroom doors are hollow-core — they transmit sound with almost no resistance and close with a loud mechanical click. Both issues are solved with the right specification.
A glass partition is only as functional as its track system. For triple sliding and folding glass door applications, CASAWAVE uses OPK (欧派克) premium track hardware — a category standard for synchronised panel systems in residential use.
A well-specified door system performs well only when installed correctly. The tolerances involved — particularly for flush coplanar, pocket and ghost door systems — are tight, and the variables in Singapore homes are many.
Door openings in Singapore HDB and condo units are rarely perfectly square. Height, width and diagonal dimensions all need to be taken before fabrication — any error transfers directly into the final fit.
Sliding door systems, pocket doors and ghost doors require a consistent floor level across the full travel path. Uneven screed or tile work requires shimming or recess work before track installation.
Overhead track systems and pivot doors impose loads on the wall or lintel above the opening. The structural condition of the wall needs to be assessed before installation — especially in older HDB units.
Pocket doors require a wall cavity of sufficient depth and width to receive the door leaf. This is typically constructed from timber or aluminium stud framing during the renovation phase — not something that can be added after walls are tiled.
Concealed hinges, magnetic latches and 3D adjustment systems require precise alignment during installation. Incorrectly positioned hinge mortises or strike plates cannot be easily corrected after the frame is set.
Where the door frame meets the wall, floor or ceiling, the finishing detail determines whether the installation looks professional or not. Clean flush reveals and properly finished junctions require both planning and execution skill on site.
Doors, particularly sliding systems, typically need fine adjustment after initial installation as the building settles and panels find their equilibrium position. CASAWAVE includes post-installation calibration as part of the standard delivery process.
Door installation must be sequenced correctly with flooring, plastering and painting. Installing a flush coplanar door after the walls are painted risks surface damage; installing before flooring is complete affects the bottom reveal gap.
Door systems are not a buy-and-install commodity. The result depends on measurement, fabrication, hardware selection, site conditions and finishing — all of which require coordination. CASAWAVE manages this process end-to-end, from initial site measurement through to final on-site adjustment.
Talk to CASAWAVE About Your Door ProjectQuestions homeowners commonly ask when evaluating interior door options for HDB, condo and landed properties in Singapore.
CASAWAVE offers aluminium-wood flush coplanar doors, triple sliding glass partitions, ghost sliding doors, pocket doors, slim-frame bifold glass doors and pivot door systems. Each system is designed for a specific spatial and performance requirement — from compact HDB bathrooms to open-plan living areas, wet kitchens and statement entrances in landed homes.
For Singapore bathrooms and toilets, an aluminium-core flush door or a pocket door with aluminium framing is the most practical long-term choice. Unlike timber, aluminium does not absorb moisture, warp or rot. The surface veneer can be specified to match surrounding cabinetry. For compact bathrooms where a swing door requires too much clearance, a pocket door that slides into the wall cavity is particularly effective — it eliminates the swing arc entirely and works well in small HDB toilet layouts. See also our bathroom vanity page for coordinated wet area design.
CASAWAVE's aluminium-wood flush doors are 45mm thick with solid construction throughout — no hollow core — which significantly reduces sound transmission compared to standard hollow-core HDB bedroom doors. Combined with acoustic perimeter sealing strips and a magnetic latch system, they provide meaningful noise reduction for bedrooms and home offices. They will not create a fully soundproofed room, but they perform substantially better than the typical alternative found in BTO and resale HDB units.
A ghost door (幽灵门) is a sliding door with a completely concealed overhead track and no floor rail. The mechanism is hidden above the door, so the floor is completely clear and the track is not visible at eye level. It is well-suited for HDB bedroom corridors and living spaces where floor rails are impractical and a clean, minimal aesthetic is preferred. Installation requires adequate wall length alongside the door opening for the door to slide fully clear of the aperture.
A triple sliding glass door uses three glass panels on a synchronised OPK track system, where one panel movement triggers coordinated movement of all three. It is most commonly used to enclose wet kitchens or create a glass partition between cooking and living zones in HDB and condo units. When fully open, the system occupies only one-third of the opening width — keeping the remaining two-thirds clear. When closed, it forms a complete enclosure that contains cooking fumes and grease. It is also used for dining room partitions and study area enclosures.
A pocket door slides completely into a built-in wall cavity when open — it physically disappears into the wall structure. A ghost door slides along the face of the wall on a concealed overhead track — it does not disappear into the wall, but the mechanism is hidden, giving a floating appearance. Pocket doors require a cavity wall to be built during the renovation phase and need more structural planning. Ghost doors are generally easier to incorporate into existing layouts, provided there is adequate clear wall space beside the opening.
Yes — particularly for flush coplanar, pocket, ghost and pivot door systems where alignment tolerances are tight. Interior door performance depends on accurate opening dimensions, floor level, wall plumb, frame construction and precise hardware fitting. An incorrectly measured or installed door will not close squarely, the latch will not engage cleanly, and sliding systems will bind or tilt over time. CASAWAVE manages the full process from site measurement through to post-installation calibration.
Yes. Door surface veneers can be specified to match or complement surrounding joinery — using the same board brand, colour direction or surface texture as adjacent kitchen cabinets or wardrobe panels. This creates visual continuity across the space rather than treating the door as an isolated element. See our kitchen systems and wardrobe systems pages for context on our full joinery range.
