Hi Pete, the opening here was 2354mm wide (BOF) and 2055mm tall (BOF). Each sliding pane was 1177mm wide.

This two pane sliding door on the Chaldon project was 2780mm wide (closer to your 3m)
Chaldon Road · More Info

Kewferry is 3030mm wide
Kewferry Drive · More Info

Hope that is helpful for you

thanks Rebecca, the thin frame sliding doors are so much more aesthetically pleasing compared to thick profiles on bi-folds.

After going through the same dilemma, we are so happy we went with bifolds. They open out the whole space whereas sliding doors still leave you with some glass (a doors width). Well worth the extra money. Of course if you only have a small opening then perhaps double opening french doors would be better than sliding doors.

patio doors -I really want sliding doors but I'm told it's not an opti

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!

Can pvc sliding doors ever look good?

Hi Justin, thank you for taking the time to reply to our query. It is difficult to compare systems because Deceuninck have not published very much technical information about that specific product on their website, but whilst in general terms uPVC may be able to perform fractionally better for U-values than aluminium (it depends on the system), our experience is that with slide and swing doors the weather rating (water tightness, air permeability and wind loading) tend to be much lower. I would also query the information you were given about security. The reason I say that is I cannot find any reference to their slide & swing doors having been tested to PAS24 standards (Building Regs Doc Q) or Secured by Design award standards. The technology of slide and swing doors is developing quickly, but it is starting from nearly 25 years behind bifold doors so will take some time to catch up - that said they are moving along quickly and in certain circumstances offer an alternative to bifold doors. Good luck with your project!

Sliding doors or bi folds for 8m expanse

Excellent. Thanks for the visual. Always helps as builders are only at the foundation stage at the moment! 28m3 of concrete pumped on the site last week as our house built on higher ground so extension has to match ground level and we're adding a first level extension too. A long way to go but take each day at a time. No more projects for you then?!

They do offer a much more minimal sight line which is definitely preferred by the professionals. It helps merge the internal and external space even when the doors are closed (which is most of the year in the UK).

The sliding doors on this project were our minimal windows sliding doors. You can see them on our website here.

If you were looking for a bi folding door and wanted to get as minimal frame as possible our Carminati Skyline Bifold door has a solid timber frame and a much more minimal double junction of 80mm (as opposed to 120mm from an aluminium bifold door).

You can see the Carminati Bifold Doors here on our website. We also have them on show in our showroom.
