Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Door Suggestion 3Oct 20, 2020 9:57 pm Monty85 A cavity slider has to slide somewhere. So that's why it's limited to that size. If you want a wider opening you will won't be able to do a cavity slider due to the nature of how your walls are set up. You could install the door after handover if you wanted but if you want to do cavity sliders it would be a lot easier to do it during the build. We aren't sure if we want doors or not for our theatre room so what we've done is had the builder do a square set entrance that is 1800 wide. So gives us the option to easily put in some kind of doors post handover if wanted. Thanks for the suggestion and the information. We can explore the option of asking the builder to do a square set entrance of around 3600mm wide. Do you see any issue with that width from structure point of view ? Also any suggestion of the width of the square set entrance or is there a standard width for such entrances.

You will need to check with your builder - i cant imagine it would be an issue though. Ozshaz Also any suggestion of the width of the square set entrance or is there a standard width for such entrances. Depends on what you the rooms to work. Do you want the doors open most of the time and closed only occasionally? Our theatre room the wall the entrance is on is 4000 so we went with 1800 as it was a nice balance. Our room opens to a hallway though so its not like it needs to be open to be part of the adjacent rooms.

Ours would be kept open most of the time and would be closed only occasionally so I think wider opening should be ok. I will check with the builder to see if they are okay to remove the door and just give an opening. Are you planning to put the door jambs now during construction or after the handover ? Cheers !

Our will be purely a square set. We still don't know if we'll put doors in so this way we can see how it feels once we move in. And we preferred the square set over the full ceiling height opening so went with that. We found this theatre in a display home which was 4m wide with a 1800 square set entrance which is what we based our design on.

Also I can see it is fixed from the jamb on the top only so when it is fully open can it be pushed from bottom (as it finished 20-25mm top of floor) or are there any chances it will become flimsy when fully open ? Apologies I have not used them so not sure. Any feedback would be appreciated. Cheers ! No the fireplace doesn’t work. It’s been enclosed. I’m not sure what was removed, as it was done quite some time ago - well before what I can see with photos online… 2 9114 I have a really long hallway which is 1100mm W x 11500mm L I would appreciate if anyone can give suggestions to light it up with Linear LED lights that goes from wall to… 0 5615 Thank for yes basically what to remove and what to add, where to place them 2 1170 |
