## {What is a Slide and Swing Door
Let me explain what makes this space saving toilet door so special.
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:
- **Trackless floor** – Finally, a toilet door without bottom track!
- **Nearly 100% opening clearance** – I can actually open the door without hitting the washing machine
- **Built for Singapore's climate** – Made of rust resistant materials
- **Modern aesthetic** – Looks way better than cheap bifold doors

## Our Experience from Start to Finish
Here is a step by step breakdown of our Renovaid Team experience.
### Step 1: WhatsApp Message – 9898 9268
I sent a WhatsApp message to **9898 9268**.
They asked for:
- Doorway measurements
- HDB location
- What type of door we needed
**Pro tip:** Have your doorway size on hand before you message.
### The Measurer Came to Us
Booking was easy – just a few messages back and forth.
What happened during the visit:
- The guy showed up on time
- He brought finish options and brochures
- We picked our preferred style – grey frame with acrylic panel
- He double checked all check here dimensions like a true professional
**Important note:** A deposit is required during the visit. We paid via PayNow – super easy.
Don't send your helper. Ask me how I know.
### Step 3: The Manufacturing Period
Once we signed off, we were told installation would take **14 to 21 working days**. Ours took exactly 18 days.
Not gonna lie – the wait tested my patience. But when they finally messaged us, it was completely worth the wait.
### What Happened on Installation Day
The night before, their office sent a WhatsApp message with a 1-2 hour arrival window. Ours was 10am-12pm.
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
- 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.
Settled the balance – no surprises, no hidden fees.

## How We Ended Up Replacing All Our Doors
Here is the funny part – we were so happy with the toilet door, we ended up replacing ALL our old doors.
### Why We Upgraded Our Bedroom Doors Too
Our old bedroom doors were hollow core and felt cheap.
The difference is night and day.
Perfect for Singapore's climate.
They have options for all price points:
- Hollow core
- Premium option
- Timber finish
- Veneer
- Laminate
We went with solid core laminate and have no complaints.
### We Did the Common Toilet Too
While we were at it, we did the second toilet too. That one got a top hung roller bifold door.
The bifold is perfect for smaller openings.

- Basic ($189)
