Hope it stays this way thru the next couple of months!!

Let me assure you though, its def not perfect, there are things I would love to change - "in hindsight" type of thing - it's our first build, and I would love to do it all again but not an ideal time to be selling... Take any idea you like, thats what its here for, I have got some great ideas and insights thru reading this forum!!

Re: Internal Glass Sliding Doors 65Jan 31, 2011 8:01 am Ooooo I just saw these doors I'm in love, totally stunning. We had plans for glass sliders on our ensuite but the company "XO" stopped making sliders and we went with Shoji screens....but I love yours more I'm gonna do those next time though beautiful! Re: Internal Glass Sliding Doors 66Feb 11, 2013 2:50 am Very elegant indeed. We chose the traditional swing glass door as there was insufficient sliding space. Have posted some comparison between swing doors vs sliding doors at the link: http://hdbrenovation2009.blogspot.sg/20 ... indow.html Re: Internal Glass Sliding Doors 67Feb 20, 2013 7:20 pm We have similiar hanging sliding doors but in timber. Previous owners were too cheap to put cavity sliders in. Hate them to pieces, always bumping into them. Glass ones look marginally better, each to their own though! Okay, then the choice is really about the build quality of the door itself which means the brand name. Sorry I can't recommend one or the other so best to rely on comments… 5 3257 we have a standard size and often we have a lot of variety to choose 0 3575 We are looking for sliding doors which are 5 metres tall. There are a few European options. Any manufacturers in Australia or distributors? 0 5039 |
