We went Bifolds and they push out of the way and really open the area up. The difference between stackers and bifolds is that they pack down to a smaller size over the distance that we had and with an odd number of bifold panels one at either end is actually a normal door. Fly screens are the only bugbear, but we don't have flys out our way. The difference in cost is that the mechanism is a lot more substantial and they hang so they need a very solid beam to hang on to. We went Wideline paragon with 6.5mm glass...Heavy! The high ceilings are a matter of modern look and feel, we went 2750 downstairs and 2650 upstairs. Normal 2040 doors in select rooms but tall doors in the main grander areas like formal dining and from the entrance to the family/kitchen area. This can keep the overall cost down. Dan C Hi there - Don't think of flyscreens for Bi-folds as a bug bear. Take a look at retractable or pleated insect screens. They are pretty much designed for bifiold doors. They retract out of the way when you don't need them so they don't take away from your doors.
