Re: Wooden Stacker Doors - slide in on each other. 22May 25, 2013 11:31 am Saint Mike OK - any suggestions - Qld ? Sorry, no idea, I would Google and do a ring around. The Bradnams stacker door used to have this extra track fitted by the local flyscreen guys until recently, and they are based in Qld. so I think you should be able to find someone there. These are the only guys I know up there, but they may or may not do the extra track. http://www.scorpioscreens.com.au/ Thanks Ed "ECOECO" At 'EcoEco', we design windows, we design the best windows, we do it for you, so that when you’re happy we are happy.

I know SB will be quite dear - so any savings greatfully received ... Re: Wooden Stacker Doors - slide in on each other. 24May 25, 2013 7:13 pm ed @ ecoclassic I think the bullet will be $3k-$4k. Aluminium doors that don't have the built in track for the screens can be adapted with add-on tracks, so I think it should be the same for timber, I would try another flydoor supplier. Then say $1.5k - $2k maybe, but stronger and more practical. Ed Sorry to jump in but I am also interested in this issue and can't figure out what you mean Ed? ... what exactly are you referring to that would be 1.5-2k but stronger and more practical than the retracting pleated flyscreen?? And are you saying that $3-4k would be a rough price guide for the pleating retractable flyscreens for a double bifold wall situation? Thanks heaps for the clarification!

There are 2 types of doors mentioned in this thread, stacker doors and bifold doors. Mike is talking about stacker doors, that is sliding doors that have say 2 panels sliding one way, each ends up behind a fixed panel. Some stacker doors come with tracks for flydoors built in (like ours). When they don't, in that case, it's fairly easy to fit an extra track and then fit standard sliding door flydoors, even to a corner stacker door. You could fit the cassette style horizontal roll out flycreen or the fanfold type, they are expensive and are prone to blowing in when windy, and pets and children tend to damage them. Others are confusing a bifold door with a stacker door. The bifold door works like concertina, each leaf is connected on hinges, and folds to 90 degrees of the direction it slides. This can take only the cassette style roller or fanfold flyscreen. The standard sliding flydoors are economical and robust, and you can choose different screen materials. The fanfold or roller types tend to be more expensive by about 100%-150%. In place of cassette type, I have suggested using roller blinds across the inside of an outside opening bifold door as a way to save money. I hope this makes sense...
