## {What is a Slide and Swing Door
If you've never heard of a slide and swing door, don't worry – we hadn't either.
Simply put: the door **glides sideways** like a sliding door, then **opens like a regular door**. Thanks to this trackless design, it needs **way less space** to open.
The advantages that sold us:
- **No bottom track** – No more scrubbing gunk out of bifold door grooves
- **Space saving magic** – I can actually open the door without hitting the washing machine
- **Built for Singapore's climate** – Made of aluminium and acrylic
- **Modern aesthetic** – We chose the grey powder coated finish

## {Why We Needed a New Bathroom Door
Let me paint you a picture of our old HDB toilet door.
The bottom track collected hair, dust, and mould.
We tried living with it for months.
That's when I started Googling for terms like:
- "space saving toilet door Singapore"
- "best door for small toilet Singapore"
- "bifold door alternatives"
And that's when everything changed.

## The Ordering Process – Step by Step
Let me walk you through exactly how it worked, so you know what to expect.
### Step 1: First Contact – 9898 9268
I sent a text to **9898 9268**.
They replied within a few hours – strictly WhatsApp only, which I actually appreciated.
- Doorway measurements
- Postal code
- Our requirements
**Pro tip:** Have your doorway size on hand before you message.
### Step 2: Home Visit
We scheduled a **free on-site measurement** .
On the day of the visit:
- The guy showed up on time
- He brought colour samples and catalogues
- We picked our preferred style – white powder coated finish
- He measured everything twice like a true professional
One thing to know: A deposit is required during the visit. We paid via PayNow – super easy.
Don't send your helper. Learn from my mistake!
### Be Patient – Quality Takes Time
After we approved everything and paid the deposit, we were told installation would take **14 to 21 working days**. Ours took exactly 18 days.
I was getting antsy by week three. But when installation day finally arrived, it was completely worth the wait.
### Step 4: The Big Day
The evening before installation, their office sent a WhatsApp message with a 1-2 hour arrival window. They gave us a morning slot.
The installer arrived at 10:30 AM. Professional, polite, and clearly experienced.
He:
- Hauled away the old door (it was disgusting at the bottom)
- Installed the new slide and swing door
- Made sure there was no mess
Before he left, he asked us to test the door to make sure we were completely satisfied. Great after-sales service.
Settled the balance – no surprises, no hidden fees.

## Our Honest Review – One Month Later
After 30 days of daily use: **Best home improvement decision we made for 2026.**
### The Good (Lots of This)
| Aspect | Our Experience |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space Saving** | Bathroom feels 50% bigger. Game changer for small HDB bathrooms. |
| **Trackless Floor** | I just mop right under the door. No more scrubbing gunk out of tracks. |
| **How It Feels** | Glides like butter. Quiet and effortless. |
| **Humidity Proof** | Zero swelling, warping, or rot. Perfect for HDB bathrooms. |
| **Aesthetics** | The grey powder coated finish is gorgeous. Contemporary and premium. |
### The Not-So-Good (Very Little)
I'm struggling to find negatives, but if I had to nitpick:
- **Wait time** – 3 weeks was tough but expected. Plan your renovation schedule accordingly.
- **$40 charge** – Fair, but good to know. Reasonable – more info 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.

## One Good Door Led to Another
Here is the funny part – We were so impressed with the slide and swing, we ended up replacing ALL our old doors.
### Our New Bedroom Doors
Our old bedroom doors were hollow core and felt cheap.
