Browse Forums Windows & Doors 1 Jun 29, 2023 6:52 pm Replacing 3 doors, each 2.7m wide by 2.1m high. I think i prefer the look of wider double pane than narrower 3 pane, plus I assume that should seal better. All three doors are in the same room, and only glass in the room, which is biggest and hardest to heat in the house. I have heard some sliding doors are a waste of money in double glazed, as they leak so much air around seal and temperature through aluminum surround, so looking to something of reasonable quality, without going nuts on price, no German made $10k per door for me thank you. Not looking for $2k dirt cheap special either though. My wife, bless her, does not seem to like UPVC, as they have a thicker surround than Al, and she thinks plastic looks cheap. So I guess what I'm after is a place to start looking for decent quality Aluminum double glazed sliding doors, in Melbourne. Thermally broken or not I don't know, hear conflicting info. I am using the WERS site to search, the problem is I have no idea what price brackets I am comparing. So decent price, decent quality recommendations would be a good place to start. For heat retention purchases, what is the max Uw I should be looking at? Thanks all Re: Double glazed sliding door recomendations? (Melbourne) 2Jun 29, 2023 11:47 pm Have you checked LandVac? They use vacuum glass and can achieve Uw of below 0.5, none of double/triple glazed windows on the market will be able to achieve anything even closely similar. In fact, they will be probably performing better than your walls. They are also provide extremely good sound proofing to 36 db. https://www.bmsydney.com.au/landvac-vig/ I first learnt about them at Sydney Build this year and when I asked the pricing, they were referencing prices around $500 per sqm for thermally broken aluminium profiles, which I found very affordable for this kind of performance.

I am on a second-story apartment of which the balcony would not adequately fit any bi-fold or French doors — and frankly the 1 fixed, 2 sliding door will help maximise the openness I’m after.
