Hi everyone! Anyone having issues with pocket doors, that are uncomfortably no-sound-proof? In what extent is the sound proofness there? I have a powder room where I wish to place a pocket door as the room is small and it opens up to a corridor/hallway. The contractor says that the pocket doors are not soundproof compared to a normal door. But as the hallway is narrow it becomes a safety issue (blocking path of travel) to have a swing door.
