[WETHERILL PARK, 25/09/2018]—Altro, a specialist in cavity sliding doors in Australia, provides spatial benefits to apartment owners. These advantages are essential to the growing number of apartment dwellers in the country.

Recent Apartment Statistics in Australia

The number of occupied apartments nationwide has increased by 78 per cent over the past 25 years. Figures from the 2016 Census of Population and Housing revealed that the occupancy rate of apartments rose to more than double the numbers of 1996.

The Census also found that people belonging in the 25 to 34 year age group accounted for the majority of Australia's apartment dwellers, with 33 years old being the median age.

An ABC report attributes these numbers to the high mortgage stress in the country, specifically in big cities like Perth, Sydney and Melbourne. Census data showed that 7.2 per cent of households in the country are paying more than 30 per cent of their income on mortgages.

Maximum Use of Apartment Space

Apartment architects and home-owners alike consider space-saving as one of the most important elements in apartment design and living. Home and design experts name sliding doors as an effective design element to maximise apartment space.

According to statistics, cavity sliding doors can save more than 85 per cent of floor space compared to traditional and French-style doors that require 0.5 to 0.9 square metres of clearance. The company's wide selection of commercial and residential sliding doors offers dynamic spatial opportunities which can be applied in open floor plans that would opt for versatile dividers instead of permanent wall barriers.
