Shoji Screens

Shoji, literally translated as “interceptor”,is a sliding panel used as a window or door in the traditional Japanese house. The word was first used to describe portable screens which formed the earliest room partition & room enclosure.

The word was first used to describe portable screens which formed the earliest room partition & room enclosure. The Shoji is an internal panel, mostly used as a window or door to a corridor to let soft, diffused light from outside filter in. Because a soft light is transmitted through the screen you can create a private area while retaining an airy, spacious environment. Shoji screens & panels have many applications - they are perfect for use as room dividers or sliding wall partitions, in fact in any area of your home or office.

Shoji Screens & Doors can supply sliding doors & panels as well as bi-fold screens, which combine the visual appeal of traditional materials with the practicality demanded by an Australian lifestyle. By using a specially produced fiberglass panel, the traditional diffused light effect of paper is achieved in a far more practical & durable way. A low profile brass track is used to efficiently carry the sliding panels.

Shoji screens can be custom sized & finished in black lacquer, clear lacquer or in a range of decor colours.
