Wood rail system

The installation of a rail system is the most important feature in determining how attractive and functional your shoji will be.

This time-tested, quiet wood track system captures the spirit of Japanese shoji.


Top rail

Using a matching type of wood, we cut a groove into the rail boards for top and bottom. The doors are cut with a matching tenon that allows the doors to be put in or taken out, and they slide along the groove.  


Bottom rail

The bottom rail is custom cut to match most carpetís and tileís heights, so you are not stepping over a high clumsy rail system. We use some special nylon tape to make doors slide very smoothly.
