Hello,
I would like to install a sliding door in newly constructed drywall partitions, partly for aesthetic reasons (as a small highlight) and partly for space reasons (a small 60m² (645 sq ft) detached apartment) – maybe even two doors, one for the bathroom and one for the bedroom. Technically, there are proven systems available from reputable manufacturers.
However, I’m wondering how well these doors seal against sound and possibly moisture from the bathroom. Do you have any practical experience with this?
Thanks and best regards

There are systems that meet high standards for soundproofing and sealing. These are expensive and uncommon. You solve that by spending money. Our sliding door to the bathroom is not optimized for the criteria you mentioned. It is very functional and an attractive design feature. Its sound insulation is worse than a standard door with a solid door leaf. It is also not sealed tightly against steam. Given the room layout in the house and our lifestyle, this works perfectly for us.

During our vacation in the holiday apartment, the bathroom had sliding doors. Despite their solid construction, they were as soundproof as a curtain.Was glass or a wooden door used?S
Schorsch_baut24 Jul 2025 21:39Wooden door. Installed flush with the wall and even sealed. Still, it was extremely noisy compared to a standard door. The rolling sound also takes some getting used to. After that, my wife gave up on her idea of installing a sliding door to the kitchen.
@bewobau Still in the concept phase, but leaning towards the Knauf Pocket Kit in a CW 100 drywall partition. The door would then be supplied by a local dealer, possibly with additional seals from the company Altherm (or similar, I don't have the exact name right now).
And you?
And you?
