Seems like most on this forum went with corner stacker doors when building with TA. Who went with a recessed option and who went with the standard? Any idea on the cost of recessing? Have also gone for recessed, was just over $1400. Definitely worth the money! We're also going through tender stage with TA at the moment and had requested our corner stacker to be recessed, however in the tender it has a note "Note: Bottom track of sliding door track to finish 5mm +/- 3mm from finished floor level" which shocked me a bit as I thought the whole point of recessing it would be to have no step over or trip hazard. Did anyone else who recessed their stacker have the note that the track would finish 5mm above FFL? If so, has anyone completed their build with that, and is the 5mm noticeable or annoying? We have now requested a "fully flush" sill/frame which should be perfectly flush with the FFL of our living area. I'm guessing the "flush sill" might actually be a different type of door/frame whereas the "recessed" is the same door/frame as normal. The cost of the "flush sill" is about 3 times the "recessed" option, but I think in the long run it will be a small price to pay...

I agree, this should have been discussed or made aware in the earlier process during your PSQ. We are considering recess and corner stackers too for our living/dining area. Did anyone opt for aluminum pole over plaster board instead of a corner stacker? This should be cheaper than getting a corner stacker. Also i can suggest to have the doors widen further in the living wall to draw a dramatic effect when the doors are fully opened. We spent close to 2 years in a process with TA. It was horrible..... we got to tender, and the first cut was 50% over our budget which "they care such about meeting ". We… 18 22932 Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 8 2218 thank you! do we need to get this or our builder before we commence new build on the block? 2 4418 |
