Brio’s Zero Clearance range is the unrivalled solution to minimalist design for timber, straight sliding door systems. Precision bearings run inside a concealed track while the mounting bracket is recessed into the top of the panel. This technology produces a virtually invisible clearance of 2.5mm between the top of the panel and track and allows the hardware to compliment any environment. This feature is exhibited by CGT WORKS architecture when they utilised Brio’s Zero Clearance to open up a Georgian home with a flexible room divide.

CGT WORKS describes itself as an architectural and construction service company operating in London and Italy with over 10 years’ experience specialising in residential buildings and retail premises looking for budget or high-level design solutions.

“We are a team of architects and specialised professionals that enjoys the challenge of designing and constructing innovative buildings and interiors alongside more traditional projects,” says CGT Works director and project manager Enrico Trolese.

A recent project for the company involved converting a two bed apartment in a Georgian terrace in London’s Earls Court into a more flexible living space. It involved knocking down the wall between the living room and the second bedroom to open up the space and let in more light. The owner still wanted the option off closing it off so the decision was made to install custom panels and install Brio’s sliding door tracks for the Zero Clearance hardware system.

According to Enrico: “Brio was the only manufacturer that provided kit that suited the requirements for such heavy doors. You can see the tracks but they are very discreet, set into the ceiling and the floor. It has been so successful we are now using the system on another project in the same building”.

The smooth sliding door hardware is available in 4 capacity ratings from 80 to 350kg and is suitable for commercial and residential spaces. Brio Zero Clearance is ideal for interior sliding door systems such as stacking room divides or even corner application doors. The top hung door hardware ensures safe control and smooth operation at your fingertips. For more information see our Zero Clearance here!
