What are enigma pocket doors?
Enigma pocket doors are a range of UK-manufactured interior design solutions, based on the principle of making life easier by simplifying bespoke and complex building methods. The aim of the Enigma pocket door is to maximise space, create new rooms and make your interior design stand out. And with an innovative and stylish range of pocket door systems, available through MB Direct, Enigma have achieved that.
This range of Enigma pocket doors has come from a passion to innovate, but in a way that simplifies specifications and deals with compliance and installation in a straightforward way. This approach has enabled Enigma to create the strongest and most durable pocket doors on the market, but with an ability to be adaptable to any interior design scheme, and to create stunning, contemporary domestic homes.
Our range of Enigma Pocket Doors
At MB Direct we have eight different designs of Enigma pocket doors. These are:
- Concealed – single pocket doors

- Concealed - double - fire rated pocket doors
- Visible – single pocket doors

- Visible – double pocket doors
- Visible – double – fire rated pocket doors
This range of Enigma pocket doors can be designed with an acoustic rated, which means the door systems can reduce sound transmission, and these qualities also mean they have good thermal insulation qualities, again resoundingly reversing the traditional perception that pocket doors were badly made and left large gaps around ill-fitted doors. Enigma pocket doors fit seamlessly and neatly to leave no gaps and a precise and efficient finish.
What are visible and concealed Enigma pocket doors?
The difference between a concealed and a visible pocket door system is purely aesthetic. The pocket door is enjoying a 21st century renaissance as an innovative interior design solution which allows you to maximise space in the home, create new rooms and make rooms multi-purpose. But it is essentially a design feature from Victorian times. For many years it was dismissed as a quirky retro feature, which wouldn’t shut properly and rattled and stuttered as you attempted to open and close it. However, manufacturers such as Enigma have completely changed that perception.
Enigma pocket doors are quality made and use a high standard of materials and manufacturing excellence. But the inherent design quality has an onus on ease of use, and the longevity you need for many years of repeated and smooth, consistent operation. And in addition to that, there is an emphasis on visual appeal. The pocket door works perfectly in a contemporary home because it is neat and unfussy, with straight lines and offers the kind of minimalist chic and elegance that is ideal for a modern property. And the option of having a visible or concealed pocket door takes that one step further.
A visible pocket door frame kit has a more traditional design appeal, because it enables you to finish the door design with a surrounding architrave. This frames the door nicely and is ideal for most homes. However, the concealed pocket door frame kits offer a cleaner and more contemporary finish, because they enable you to install the pocket door with no surrounding architrave. This results in a flush plaster edge finish which is easy on the eye and provides an elegant and sophisticated appeal.
In both cases – the visible or concealed finish – the Enigma system is a universal kit which can be cut down to suit the opening or the door size in your home. This enables a simple and quick solution for bespoke-sized requirements.
What are fire rated pocket doors?
Where we supply fire rated pocket door systems, these are FD30-rated, which means they have been tested to withstand the spread of fire for up to 30 minutes, and hence they are suitable for most domestic properties. The fire rated pocket doors are supplied with a specialist trim and intumescent seals for this purpose, but otherwise have the same visual qualities as our standard pocket doors.
