Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Enterance Door ( Front Door) 9Jun 17, 2010 10:46 pm Emohruo We went for the 1200 wide door (no side light). We don't want to have to think of logistics when we move in the couch etc. We are getting this door with Translucent glass. So there will be plenty of light. http://www.humedoors.com.au/products/entrance_doors/savoy_range/XS24 HTH Michelle I did pick this exact door, but I was going to change it to the xs26 just not sure but I will also have the Translucent glass, how does your door look? Why made you choose the sx24? and does it let enough light in Re: Enterance Door ( Front Door) 10Jun 18, 2010 8:05 am Ours have a bit of glass on top section only (which is higher than me), plus it's not see-through glass. Perfect for us who are very particular about front door privacy It was either that or simple no-glass doors. We don't particularly need or want any light coming via the front doors.

Re: Enterance Door ( Front Door) 12Jun 18, 2010 10:50 am Izzehz Just wondering if it is possible to change a normal front door with sidelight to a wide front door with no sidelight? Would it be difficult? Any ideas on costs? This is exactly what we did, although we had two sidelights removed. We managed to upgrade to a much fancier door and didn't get charged a cent for it because it was almost equivalent to the cost of the smaller door + sidelights. If anything, the builder won that one, we just didn't care because it was nice to not have to pay them more money for a change Re: Enterance Door ( Front Door) 13Jun 18, 2010 12:43 pm somewoman Izzehz Just wondering if it is possible to change a normal front door with sidelight to a wide front door with no sidelight?

We moved in a month ago, and the day we moved in had the feeling of "damn, knew i forgot something". Hoping its not too big a job to get changed over now...

It is purely a personal choice as I like the proportions better. The XS26 is lovely as well. We don't have the door on as yet it should go on in the next few weeks. We are nearly at lockup if the good weather holds in Sydney for a few more days. Michelle Building Standards; Getting It Right!
