Any recommendations for external sliding glass doors ?

[RogerS]

As the subject line, really. SWMBO is quite keen on having some of these. Been watching too much Grand Designs! :lol:

The ones I'm thinking of are with, say, three doors that slide across each other down to one door width.

Already ordered! Delivery around end of this month.

Hi Roger, which did you go for in the end ?

Solarlux SL142 as these had the smallest cross-sectional frame which meant that even when the doors are shut, there is still maximum glass ergo light.

And the price was keen.

Do you happen to know the U-value off the top of your head? Are they double or triple glazed?

Thanks

Sorry..no idea. Double-glazed....IIRC the weight of triple glazed doors places a pretty heavy load on the mechanism....ergo very large frames which didn't appeal to us.

Catalogue turned up yesterday, let us know how you get on Roger.

Well, Solarlux are determined to undermine the reputation for German efficiency. They took forever to confirm the order, forever to give a delivery date. The delivery date was down for this week. Then next week. Now the following week.

The cynic in me suggests that they won't fit the hole.

Sorry to hear that Roger. Thanks for the heads up. Let's hope it's a minor hiccup, can happen to the best companies sometimes, although personally I can forgive a lot more if at least communication is good. It doesn't take a lot in this day and age with email and not a good sign. When you're left in the dark doubt understandably creeps in. Hope it all works out for you.

I need to rein in the cynic in me ! They fitted perfectly.






We'd also looked at some made in the UK but pleasantly surprised to hear the fitter comment how much better made these ones are.

RogerS .. nice patio windows but I don't really understand why you take a photo of yourself naked reflected in them (your last pic there) and post it in this group...but maybe it's just me being unreasonable and having old fashioned views.

Strange indeed!

Now that's a classic

Nice work Roger.

[Robbo3]

Nope. It's been done before

 

[Random Orbital Bob]

Not by Roger!!!

Oops.. As a lifelong naturist I have no issues at all with nudity. But there are prudes everywhere. Time LGBTQ became LGBTQ N !

I think a PM might have been a more reasonable approach.

Very nice Roger. I have to be honest though, if it were me, I'd have stripped back more of that outer wall, exposing more space into the garden. By taking that approach it would deliver a nice genital change from kitchen to garden
