Once the builder sees the price of those doors the normal fitting rates doesn't apply Your builder is correct I doubt they can be fitted after handover as the lintel will require reinforcing ...... so you have a door jam (excuse the pun) Oh shoot! Great pun! If I didn't have a sense of humour before this building malarky began then I sure would have needed to develop one or I think I'd be done for by now! Just to clarify, though, the builder did not say I had to get them to do the swanky concealed doors - they said I had to get them to install the other ceiling hung cupboard doors (which won't be the swanky concealed kind - or rather the concealed runner would be in the ceiling rather than on the wall...oh shoot - the cupboard doors will not be the kind in the link I posted originally - they will be this kind https://www.cavitysliders.com.au/Products/Track-Systems/FH-CeilingMountTrack and these are the ones the builder said they had to install!). You rekon I ALSO have to get them to install the swank ones? It's a double jam! The installation instructions of the swanky ones have me installing the concealed rollers just above the opening (yes, that jammy bit) but as I'd like floor to ceiling, I was thinking the rollers could go further up the wall - almost at the ceiling. Still an issue do you think? Re: Doors, doors, doors!

Still an issue do you think? I suggest your builder ( at their expense) draw up proper construction details for on site, costings and for your visualisation I would recommend a Bim 3D model. at a glance The technical details are a bit light-on and appeals to Architects only Here is an eg of Construction/Engineering 3D Bim hth Spiral Staircase IMO if you are paying good money you want better information, instructions and justifications,etc Cheers Chris Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Re: Doors, doors, doors!

I think I’m going to take your advice re the wardrobes though and just build them in - the wardrobes were where we were going to put the concealed in the ceiling sliding doors. I’m going with a good old fashioned steel (and glass) barn door to the upper home theatre. Re: Doors, doors, doors! Recommendations please for WA! 8Jan 13, 2020 12:13 am Those concealed sliders look shmick. My only concern would be the fixing to the wall. The doors you describe won't be light so there will be a lot of weight cantilevered of the wall runners. Are you going to use the additional bottom wheels? The Verticore bricks that your builder will use tend to be more holes than brick and getting a smaller gauge fixing to grab can sometimes be a challenge. Depending on what size and quantity of fixings can be used to fit the wall runner will tell you how successful the install will be. In a framed house you can trim out where the wall runner is going to be fixed and using nice solid timber screws you can guarantee getting a solid fix. When you use masonry fixings in Verticore it can sometimes be a bit of a struggle. You could probably use chemical anchors if required. If you struggle finding a manufacturer for the doors, let me know. I can help you out.

Given its a corner plot approx. 400 sqm just a standard design may not fit the… 0 8570 Really tight at the top of the stairs- how to get furniture into those rooms? Study books - does anyone really use them these days? Large storage closet would be more functional. 2 6890 I do enjoy the drama:-D In his latest two videos he has started bringing security guards to site, I am waiting for the punch on to begin lol 6 45554 |
