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

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.

If you have the space, definitely the first option, mine is 1200mm x 2300, I have no hob on island but it's definitely not too far to have conversation with someone on the other side :-). I'm just imagining it, if you have 900mm that is too close for guests sit, they won't have much space to put their drink down if the hob is right in front of them. Also it's a safety thing, if they are sitting down in front of you cooking they could potentially end up with oil on their face if it spits or having their face steamed lol. I'm not sure about having 4 seats in a row on the island, they do look nice in photos but what about when guests are sitting there and you're not cooking, everyone will be sitting in a row and it's hard to talk to people. I have 4 seats towards one end of the island, 2 on the one side and 2 on the other in a L shape, when I have people round, it's quite socialable as we can all see each other without turning our bodies or heads too much :-). Also as you have mentioned, lots of storage options in your first option. As clemfandan said, make sure you incorporate an overhang on the island on the seating area ( usually 300mm ) otherwise people will have no where to put their legs :-)

I agree that the space between the sink and hob is dangerous and this kitchen is divided by the back door. But there are many many ways this could be planned. Have you considered using a concept planner to help you visualise the layout?

Looks like the panel is glass, though it has some kind of texture to it that will make it less translucent and gives that shimmer where the light catches it. It might be a double glazed unit as well - which would help with noise control if you need that. The thin frame is a kind of metal, perhaps a bronze or bronze effect finish. It can be that thin because it is internal only so it doesn't need to deal with thermal stuff like a sliding door in an external wall would. Hope that helps! Jane, i-architect.co.uk

Slide and Turn Doors or Sliding Unit

Hi Adam, we also looked at both sliding doors and slide and turn for our opening and were shocked at the price of the slide and turns. One thing that a few designers and window providers said to us was that essentially slide and turn doors (or bifold doors) look better when they are open, and sliding doors look better when they are closed (as they tend to have fewer panels and so less view is blocked by pane). As we are based in London, where for most of the year the doors will be closed, we were advised by everyone to go with sliding doors. (NB our opening is wider, so it was a difference between 3 sliding door panels or 6/7 slide and turn panels).

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.
