It was one of the reasons why only upgraded to 8.5' ceilings rather than 9', by the time the extra cost between and the additional cost to increase all the door heights it became prohibitvely expensive for our budget. Also consider if you have any non-standard doors cavity sliding, or glass inset etc they increase in price even more.

My parents have it in theirs and looks fine. We're also not getting brick infill over all the outside windows, just couldn't afford it. I think it will still look good. If you raise the door height wouldn't you have to raise the windows too? To disguise the window heights you just hang your curtain rods etc higher up the wall, can look really effective. Re: Anyone knows how much to upgrade door height to 2340mm? 11Feb 08, 2010 1:10 pm Thanks everyone. I did leave the extra hinge (which I should check with the builder) and frame when considering the difference. But I learnt from another post that big M only charges $65 per door. It seems I should bargain with the sales person to get a good price. In fact, I have a few non-standard variations as well. But the sales person didn't want to give me the quotation until I come to the tender. How can I bargain the price with her? Or I need to deal with the admin later on (I haven't decided to go with Henley, so I don't have admin at this point)? Re: Anyone knows how much to upgrade door height to 2340mm? 13Feb 09, 2010 11:08 am We paid $521 to increase from 2040x820mm to 2040x920mm Rather expensive. We were told the height would increase to 2107mm also but that was bollocks and we now have to pay that amount purely for the extra 10mm width. Look at the pillar doors they are huge and fab!

Are you going to increase width of internal doors? What's the point doing that? If $521 is per door price, I should say it's not worth.... i imagine you also have another contract with an architect? and yeah, whatever other's said about special conditions and appendices 16 16026 Thanks for your thoughts. Do you feel your louvre sidelite security mesh is safe? I was thinking no window at all so no one can see if I'm near the front door, shadows… 2 758 ok thanks - yes was wondering if that should have been listed as Option Three! 2 7754 |
