Window/doors

I love the top of these doors/windows.

Is their a special name for the semi rounded finish?

Thanks for your advice everyone. We thought about steps. The extension is 6m wide so I think instead of looking like a zoo it will be a theatre! It is worth considering though. We only want the deck as access to the garden really. Maybe no more than 2m. We will use the right hand side as a patio area. We didn't really want a deck but seems like it is the right solution to have folding doors straight out to the garden rather than having windows. If we had windows we wouldn't have to deal with this deck business!

Hello, if you don't want sight lines then I wouldn't have Crittall to be honest (unless you wanted Crittall without the cross bars of course?? as they are super busy and won't give you a clear view of the garden) We opted to go for bi-folds with slimmer sight lines and wider panes so there would be less lines. On your size opening, it would take 3 bi-fold panes which means the central one is just glass. If you had sliding doors then you would likely have 2 panels with the bar being right in the middle (unless you can slide them into pocket doors!) Bi-folds - they even do frame-less bi-folds now or ones with the lines super narrow so I would get prices for those. It also depends on your garden - as you say, because we had the bi-folds leading directly onto a patio area. If you have to step down then the garden will feel quite separate anyway and so you don't benefit from having an open 'room' as you would with a semi flush or flush threshold and bi-folds doors. In that case, Alu french doors with side panels that don't have all the cross bars would likely be the cheapest option for you.

Love gothic architecture. How about a wrought iron rail above with just one curtain pushed to one side rather like the pics below. Not necessarily the fabric illustrated, but a lush, heavy fabric like velvet or tapestry would go beautifully, depending on your decor of course.

hi Rhian, there are a number of considerations in choosing a lintel for a window or door opening: size of opening what is the loss bearing capacity of the existing wall. is it in good condition. what does it need to support. is it a solid or cavity wall. what are your future plans as far as extending. are the foundations able to take the additional load imposed. these are second nature to a structural engineer, who will have insurance to back any mistakes in selection. if you rely on a choice from someone, you have no recourse if you get problems. any alterations to a building require building control approval to ensure the work does not ruin the building stock of the country this is generally why our ageing building stock is still standing. the planning side may be ok of you arent opening onto a side which will create an overlooking situation with a neighbour. Again you should check, as if this is installed without the correct approval you could cause problems when you are looking to sell the property and move on. sorry to seem so harsh,but professionals spend a lot of years getting qualified to resolve problems. some builders have no qualifications, or a single trade qualification together with experience, which is no bad thing. The thing they do require is direction or mistakes are made,which can be costly for the homeowner. A structural engineer will cost a couple of hundred pounds and will provide peace of mind!! give your building control/ planning dept a call and check. best Rowland you should use a professional and ensure you use the right
