Custom Japanese Sliding Doors
Custom Japanese shoji sliding doors bring a timeless, minimalist aesthetic to both modern and traditional interiors. We fabricate each door to order, combining a solid wood frame with light-filtering panels that create a soft, diffused glow. These doors are custom-sized to fit closets, room dividers, or wall openings, and can be made as single, double, or multi-panel sliding systems depending on your layout.
Shoji doors are valued for their ability to separate spaces while maintaining light flow and visual openness. They’re commonly used in bedrooms, living areas, or meditation spaces where privacy is needed without the heaviness of a solid wall. The lightweight design glides smoothly on a track system and takes up less space than a swinging door, making them ideal for smaller rooms or open-plan layouts.
We bring years of woodworking experience and attention to detail into every shoji door we build. Our team handles everything from material selection and frame joinery to panel installation and track setup. Whether you’re adding a touch of Japanese design or simply want a space-saving sliding solution, custom shoji doors are a refined and functional choice.
A Touch of Japanese Elegance with a Shoji Screen
Shoji doors are more than just functional; they are a celebration of Japanese craftsmanship and minimalism. Their sliding mechanism optimizes space usage, making them ideal for compact areas or open-plan layouts. These doors are perfect for creating flexible partitions, wardrobes, or decorative accents that align with traditional and modern interiors alike.
Shoji doors embody a harmonious balance of tradition and modernity. As a millwork company specializing in custom woodwork and Oriental furniture design, we bring unparalleled expertise to every door we craft. Whether you’re designing a Zen-inspired retreat or integrating Japanese elements into a contemporary home, our Shoji doors are tailored to fit your vision.
Shoji door fabrication and installation process
Initial Consultation: We start with a one-on-one in-person or virtual consultation to understand the purpose, design goals, and functional needs of your custom Shoji door project. If you already have drawings, you’re welcome to share them with us in advance. Based on your scope, we’ll provide a rough budget estimate and timeline.
Project Management: Every project is managed by a dedicated project manager who oversees coordination between our design, fabrication, and installation teams. You’ll receive regular updates through our personalized client portal, with each key decision reviewed and confirmed along the way.
Design Support and Shop Drawings: Our in-house design and engineering team works closely with architects, designers, contractors, and property owners to turn concepts into precise plans. Once approved, we develop detailed shop drawings to ensure your custom Shoji door integrates perfectly with your space.
In-House Fabrication: All custom Shoji doors are fabricated in-house at our fully equipped millwork shop in Toronto. By combining traditional joinery with precision equipment, we maintain strict quality control over frames, panels, and finish details.
General Contracting: If your custom Shoji door is part of a broader renovation, our in-house contractors handle all related construction work, including structural framing, wall prep, drywall, and additional millwork, so everything fits cleanly and seamlessly into place.
Installation and Quality Assurance: Our installation team follows the approved drawings to ensure precise fit and function. After installation, we conduct a final inspection to confirm the project meets your expectations and 1BENMU quality standards.
