Now for the Landscaping Re: stacker door versus double sliding door 18Oct 16, 2011 3:25 pm Mine are pretty much the same as Helyn, they are over 4metres wide all up including fixed panels. One door opens up to as much as our normal single slider. I have seen some pretty narrow ones though and I think they would have been better with stackers or even a big single slider. I wanted stackers but changed to a double slider because of the central opening. Just the way our house is designed I think the way we have it suits better, so I guess that's another thing to look at. Re: stacker door versus double sliding door 20Oct 23, 2011 8:31 am Helyn Quote: We got stacker doors over double sliders for a number of reasons. 1. more opening space (double sliders would both have a fixed panel) 2. I have a friend who dislikes her double slider as the doors are not quite as big as a usual sliding door and they tend to only open one side when taking a basket of washing out etc and it isn't quite big enough for that. of course this varied depending on the size of the opening!!! ...so your friend must have a very narrow sliding door . Or a very large basket In practice 1800mm has been wide enough for anything we want to get thru - including large furniture like queen size beds, couches etc - I cannot really see why you would need any wider than this. 3600 sliding doors have an opening less than 1800 because the handle and interlock prevent them opening level with the fixed panels, probably more like 1500. A laundry sliding door is usually 1450 wide, and again the opening panel can't open the full 725, it is closer to 600. Many people want the wider opening to bring the outside in... especially so with bifolds. A stacker door at 3600 would have an opening around 2200, bifolds around 3300.
