1. What is the cost difference upgrading to a bi-fold door in lieu of sliding stacker out back and are they practical?
2. Does everybody do the standard high window in the HT? Thinking of putting 2 windows in...
3. Has anybody done a half brick half glass balustrade on the rear balcony
thank you!
Hi Chompy,
All of the above are certainly doable, just depends if you agree with W's cost for the upgrades.
We talked about a bi-fold door originally near the alfresco, but the cost was prohibitive (in our minds) back in 2016. Sorry can't remember the exact amount.
Window cost will be based on size/style, but shouldn't be a huge upgrade. We just went with the highlight window - wanted it to be fairly dark.
Expect to pay plenty for the rear glass balustrade. In original plans we wanted a glass balustrade, but in hindsight we are glad we went with the brick, mainly because of privacy issues with double storey neighbours on our rear boundary. The glass looks great (as per our front balcony), but there would be no privacy at all.

Thanks oz appreciate the speedy reply and your insights.
I would ask W to specify how much they would charge for the above items and then make the appropriate decision. I would have asked W on at least 50 different items that we decided not to go ahead with.
