POLL: Which is your favourite - sliding door or hinged door wardrobes?

I've always gone with hinged doors since I scared my clothes could get snagged on the runners (I'm probably being over cautious) and I like to be able to see all my clothes at once so I can figure out an outfit.

The reason that you're dad is telling you this is because of the sizes of the doors. Each door will be less than 3ft wide, and ordinary sliding doors do not slide back completely behind the other, therefore, the gap that you walk through to get outside will be impeeded, probably by around 10-12 inches. When you take into consideration the width of the frame on both sides, your gap will be tiny, i'm hazzarding a guess at somewhere in the realm of 20-24 inches. Of course it is possible, you can have them whatever size you like. Just ask the window company what gap you'll be left with to walk through ! Other sliding doors ( the expensive ones ) - push out then slide over, making your gap larger. If you can afford it, then bi-folds will work, other than that two lovely large patio doors that open out mounted toward the outer edge of the building so that they fold as flat a possible agains the outside walls. We put these on one of our builds, and it's fabulously light and airy inside and the doors open a long way out and back These are the sort that you mean, and we have put them on builds, but you end up having to turn slightly sideways to go through them because of the diminished gap!

Sliding doors or French doors
Q
Comments (4)
French doors are lovely, especially in a period home, but they do need space to open out into the garden. I had that dilemma too as my lower patio is quite small and French doors would have hit the garden furniture outside. I decided on sliders and I’m glad I did. They are our back door! They are very secure and the locking mechanism locks in 6 places so would be impossible to lift out. Of course a burglar could smash the glass to get in but that would create a hell of a racket. My sliders are 6 ft wide. I’m not so sure about removing your access gates, even with a resident permit. People do love off road parking so a bonus when or if you ever sell the house.
