Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Sliding Door Track rebates 13Feb 13, 2011 9:29 pm dh_builder I think it is just too much trouble for some builders - and I can see now that there is a lot to coordinate. But I can't see how recessing would impact the sliding door mechanism at all. I'm not sure removing the bottom plate will suffice. Just checked some pics I took today and it looks like it is out by about two bottom plate thicknesses. That's a lot... maybe take off the bottom plate and add an aluminium infill above the windows. Should look ok. Ed "ECOECO" At 'EcoEco', we design windows, we design the best windows, we do it for you, so that when you’re happy we are happy.

Yes, you're right... if you do it my way you get back to where you started... You will still have a minor problem inside, but this can be disguised with blinds or curtains.

The construction is nearing completion and we noticed that the rebates haven't been made for our 6 slider door. The floor tiles have also been laid and the door installed when we made the builder realise that he forgot about this. He said he will do it , however I am not sure if it is possible. Can somebody please let us know if it is still possible or if the builder is trying to fool us around? Thanks Our standard double-glazed window is tested to achieve, Rw 34, and can be glazed to suit Rw 39. The price is good too... 3 11450 I’m in a similar position except I’m after sliding 3 stacking doors.
