bepgof 20 Report post Posted May 16, 2010 (edited) if open concept, built glass door? Westerners' got 4 sides open, can make only salad & mix drinks, bread + kaya within kitchen. Can imaging if fry fish/veg? Singaporeans' most likely to be "1 side open" only, not so bad. Edited May 16, 2010 by bepgof Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dunno, but put back wall like a bit funny. glass panel will help make the house look more spacious. unless u have a very generous living, putting back the wall will only make it look cramped Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a 10mm thickness, tampered glass, 25sqft cost me $350 last yr. 2. 10mm thickness, tempered glass, 2-pieces top-hung sliding, door width = 44 inch, cost $650. I'm particular about kitchen entrance, must be "big enough"-originally requested for 48 inches, but the 2-pc door cannot be retracted fully, so choice give some "discount" from 48 to 44 inch. Personal note: A small entrance make ppl feel "cramp" esp when more ppl in/out kitchen - give ppls a "stingy" feeling. Edited May 17, 2010 by bepgof Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think my glass panels will have to be about 5ft each. 1 fixed and 1 top-hung sliding. But 5ft like very big. But ID say it's ok. He quoted me $1.4. Is it ex? My kitchen wall to wall about 12ft.
