## {What is a Slide & Swing Toilet Door
If you've never heard of a slide and swing door, don't worry – we hadn't either.
In simple terms: the door **slides to the side first** like a pocket door, then **swings open**. Thanks to this trackless design, it needs **minimal clearance** to open.
Here is why this matters for HDB flats:
- **No bottom track** – Finally, a toilet door without bottom track!
- **Space saving magic** – Our bathroom feels 50% bigger
- **Built for Singapore's climate** – No warping like traditional timber doors
- **Modern aesthetic** – We chose the grey powder coated finish

## From First Contact to Installation
Let me walk you through exactly what happened, so you know what to expect.
### How We Got Started
The first thing I did was message their WhatsApp number.
They asked for:
- Door size
- HDB location
- Our requirements
Makes the process smoother.
### The Measurer Came to Us
Booking was easy – just a few messages back and forth.
On the day of the visit:
- The technician arrived within the promised window
- He brought finish options and brochures
- We chose our design – white powder coated finish
- He measured everything twice like a true professional
One thing to know: A deposit is required during the visit. No cheques – we used PayNow.
Don't send a family member who can't approve things. Ask me how I know.
### Be Patient – Quality Takes Time
Once we signed off, we were told installation would take **about website 3-4 weeks**. We waited 18 days – right in the middle of their estimate.
Not gonna lie – the wait felt long. But when installation day finally arrived, it was completely worth the wait.
### Step 4: Installation Day
The night before, their office sent a WhatsApp message with a time slot. They gave us a morning slot.
The installer arrived at 10:30 AM. Professional, polite, and clearly experienced.
The whole installation took about 1.5 hours.
- Removed our old rotting wooden door
- Installed the new slide and swing door
- Cleaned up everything before leaving
Before he left, he asked us to try opening and closing it to make sure we were completely satisfied. He even showed us how to maintain it.
We paid the remaining balance on the spot via PayNow.

## Our Honest Review – One Month Later
It's been over a month now, and here is my honest take: **Best home improvement decision we made for 2026.**
### What We Love
| Feature | Our Experience |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space Efficiency** | No more door-to-toilet collisions. Game changer for compact Singapore toilets. |
| **No Bottom Track** | Cleaning is SO easy now. No more scrubbing gunk out of tracks. |
| **Smooth Operation** | The mechanism is so smooth. Quiet and effortless. |
| **Humidity Proof** | Looks exactly like day one. Perfect for Singapore's humidity. |
| **Looks** | The grey powder coated finish is gorgeous. Contemporary and expensive. |
### Minor Downsides
I'm reaching for complaints here, but if I had to nitpick:
- **Lead time** – 18 days felt long, but they warned us. Order early if you're in a rush
- **$40 charge** – $40 if you cancel after measurement. Reasonable – their time isn't free
- **No walk-ins** – Their Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment. So message before you go.
Really scraping the bottom of the barrel here.
