Hi everyone,
I would like to incorporate something like this photo into our new fitted kitchen. Do any kitchen companies in the UK offer these sort of open and slide away cupboard doors? or do they have to be bespoke fitted? and can that be done on a standard high street kitchen?
Thanks in advance

French window or sliding patio door kitchen dilemma?
Comments (12)Hi Mandy, thanks for taking the trouble to respond and for the photo. Love your garden, great that you can enjoy it so much. I think we're now fairly set on going for a sliding patio door, for the very reasons that you mention, that is the uninterrupted view without too many profiles in the way. We've been looking again today and saw a lovely one. We had a patio door in our previous property over twenty years ago but from what I saw today they're much nicer now. We already have a couple of French windows in other rooms but want the new kitchen to be more contemporary. The one we saw this afternoon was at a company called Clearview. The salesman assured us that their doors are the most secure (not sure if this is just a sales ploy or not). Either way I quite like the clear look of the sliding patio door so will have a good look around at other companies before we finally decide where to buy. Such a relief that one more decision has been made. Last week's trauma was finding a good brick match for the extension. Thanks again. So grateful for everyone's input here on Houzz....See MoreCan I fit a kitchen diner in my small home?
Comments (5)How would you would feel about the whole downstairs being open plan? You could put in a small porch from the front door and a new door into the living room and take away remaining internal walls to open up everything. I think there is something about not having a loo open straight off a kitchen so you could have a lobby at the back which would also reduce noise travelling upstairs. Moving the door in the kitchen would mean people aren't running down the stairs through the kitchen while you are cooking....See MoreHow can I get rid of damp in my fitted wardrobes?
Comments (7)I know this post was a few years ago but just wanted to add my experience to the posts. My wardrobes are not actually on the wall, I suppose about 2 inches away from the outside wall and that wall is not damp. The wardrobes are floor to ceiling from IKEA (chipboard oak veneer) and so have airflow all around them. My clothes have had mould spots on them over the years and shoes soles have rotted. When I first noticed these incidents I bought things to soak up any moisture in the wardrobe but that got monotonous and didn't work 100per cent. Eventually we have drilled holes in the backs and bases of the wardrobes. I think this has helped to some extent but only time will tell. I think it could be what the wardrobes are made of as it has only happened since I have had this style. Also, something that seems to have made my ceiling/top of the wall black or damp along the top of my bedroom wall (similar to Zat's pic above) is that we had a ground floor disabled extension for my son over 10 years ago and it has a flat roof that I look out onto from my bedroom. Building Control or Surveyor when visiting the extension project at that time, told the builders to put these plastic oblong sheets all along the wall and above new extension roof as there's a gap between the wall and roof. In so doing, I think it has prevented airflow through the bricks that have those little gaps intermittently along the wall of the front of the house. This has been the question mark over the decade as to why we get these black marks at the top of the wall. I have 4 windows in that room also and always have them open for airflow and ventilation. I use a dehumidifier in there in the winter when it may be too cold to open all windows. My husband used the anti mould paint last year when he decorated our bedroom and painted over that. Six months later it was coming through again. Another issue I think that might contribute to all this. When we bought the house from new in 1983 off plan it was Timber framed. It was a lovely well insulated house, In 1990 we extended our bedroom and lounge. We couldn't find any builders in those days that knew about Timber framed extensions and so they just did their normal style work with brick. Nowadays we are more informed with all the programmes on TV and advice on computers and in hindsight we would have looked for a builder that did Timber framed. I have regretted it ever since really. The 1991 extension is the colder part of the house unfortunately and feels too cold in winter that I have a heater on the end walls of the lounge and bedroom. The disabled extension had better building regs to make sure the rooms didn't go below a certain temperature and they are fine. If I could have my house gutted I think I would have extra insulation fitted, underfloor heating and maybe other things that would once again make it a nice cosy home in the winter. But that is not going to happen! Hope this may be helpful to anyone for future use. All the best....See MoreCan I get away not having draining grooves on my new granite worktop?
Comments (7)If you are not going to drain anything then no need. Maybe your reasoning for a double bowl sink is to fit one with a draining rack? If you are going to use the granite as a drainer then in my opinion they are required as the slight gradient on them will direct surface water into the sink rather than onto the floor. Black or dark granite colours will also show watermarks caused by standing water, particular if you live in a hard water area. You can choose the shape and size of drainer grooves, so if you keep it simple they will hardly be noticed....See More
