Hi. I have been looking into this as well and the only company that I have found that offers integrated insect screens on sliding and bifold doors is Centor. It looks as though their sliding doors can cover a 4657mm opening and so they could cover your width but I think they only do 2 panels and 1 will be fixed. You may need a combination shade and screen to cover the entire width. Not sure exactly how it would work but the doors look lovely. I am trying to manipulate my budget so that I can incorporate them in my new build!

im struggling with lack of space in my hallway and am thinking of changing living room door to sliding. I have enough space on the wall for the door to slide onto but doorway is almost flush with the corner wall. My question is, how much space there need to be on the sliding kit ? can this kit finish flush with doorway and wall and still work? please help

Does anyone have Visoglide sliding doors? Ours were fitted without any drainage holes, so the tracks completely filled with water whenever there was heavy rain. Our fitters have now returned to drill drainage holes (as shown in the photo), but it doesn’t look very good - the holes are very noticeable, roughly formed, and look dirty. Before I complain, I was wondering what the drainage holes should have looked like if they had been present in the tracks from the time of manufacturing - I’d be really grateful if anyone has these doors and can show me. Many thanks in advance.

Hi! A belated thank you to everyone who helped me finally make a decision! I went with a 3 pane sliding door (on a 3.7m opening) allowing me to open over half the width. I figured that with bifolds you would still have the frames stacked to one side which takes up a chunk of the opening as well. I chose the XP Glide from Express Bi-folds. Have found them professional and easy to deal with, we are just awaiting delivery now! The only bug I had is that their choice of handles were pretty basic, either a chunky (in my view an eye sore!) steel bar or a regular lever handle. They only come in black, grey or white! I was initially going with a very sleek 2 pane sliding door from Ultraline that had an integrated handle within the frame but the cost was too high for me to change it to a 3 pane. If I had the budget though I would have gone with them instead. Express Bi-folds do a slimmer framed option than XP Glide, I think it is called XP Panoramic. The 3 pane was more than Ultraline I think though. The consultant at Express-Bi-folds also advised against slimmer framed bonded glass options as if for any reason you damage the glass you have to replace the whole frame as well which is a major structural headache. Most slim framed options use this method though (as opposed to beaded - correct me if I am wrong!) so I would have chosen to ignore his advice if my budget allowed :-)
