Colour of gutter above sliding doors?

4 years ago

See pic below.

Where the wood is, a 3.4m opening for a 2 pane slider, charcoal aluminium.

Wonder if we should change gutter colour running along top of doors?

White everywhere else currently. Possibly change bit above doors to dark?

Thanks

Interesting question. I was also in a similar situation. I had grey bi-folds fitted on a garden room. We decided to keep the gutter the same colour as the windows and what was on the front of the house as opposed to blending in with the doors.

Looking at the photo I am thinking the gutter doesnt look so bad and perhaps making that length different colour from the rest might make it more noticeable which is not what I want!

Hello everyone...this is SO very helpful - and thanks Kathryn for all your advice! We're going through the exact same routine for slide & tilt doors - and needs some other windows too. Our shortlist is Sunseekers or IDsystems. We are edging towards IDS, as they can offer the doors AND all other glazing we need - whereas SS only offer the doors (and also saw a few dodgy reviews for them too). IDS are few grand pricier. However your experience makes me feel they may be worth the extra. May I ask you, Kathryn, how much more glazing did you have (re negotiating price down), and what size are your (beautiful!) doors - are they 950mm panels? How much more did you pay for the special colour? THANKS so much,!

Hi Company in Eltham SE9. Tollands - man called Bernard. No website and he doesn't turn up in a suit with a briefcase with inflated prices. he has a shop. He will measure, discuss and give you a price. I moved to Broadstairs in Kent last year and had him do our aluminium bifolds and a very large floor to ceiling wide window. I had to get him as prices here were ridiculous. Worth a try maybe?

JC thank you again - it's actually your photos that we have saved on our wishlist so it really was a big help! New blinds sound absolutely brilliant so we're going to get in touch once the work starts and hopefully they can provide ours too. If you have any photos they would be most gratefully received, the mechanism you have to pull them all down sounds fab! I presume you've not had any problems and they're still going strong! At the risk of pushing my luck, do you have any idea of the cost of your lovely sliding doors, to have so much glass, compared to say bifold doors? We've decided we want large sliders to maximise the light, but I'm worried they will be loads more than bifolds which were in our original builder's quote, eek!! Thank you again, as you say this forum is unbelievably helpful and I'm eternally grateful to you all!!

Recommended suppliers for sliding doors and opening flat rooflight?
Q

Hi Tani, I am sorry, I missed your message earlier. In this heat wave it has been very hot, particularly as we are south facing. The sliding roof lights above have been fantastic as you can let out all that hot rising air and it with all the doors open and roof lights, it feels just right! We have 4 roof lights that are 1m x 2m each. The sliding doors are 7.4m and 3.4m. The room is 10m by 6.5m. Minipie, ODC were good at first, but they lost interest in me and I ended up buying the same sliding doors a couple of weeks later from another company for a much cheaper price. I also got it colour matched at the RAL colour for the same price! It's worth shopping around.

Ours is dark... but then it always was, not sure if that helps? It does blend in really well with the dark roof line :)
