We more or less confirm our contractor too but still haven't sign anything with him unless he willing to bring down the price..& my contractor is not that well known..but i guess workmanship is very important. U still keep ur utility area? Mine, i will hack down the wall n also part of the kitchen wall..prefer my kitchen to be big.. gotten the quote from Alex le. PM you later... anyway, gd to get him down to do measurement... he quite steady one... bring along his brother... so the brother goes ard doing measurements... and he explains to me the details lor... wat kind of tracks and locks they use... wat kind of materials or design more suitable for wat area... etc... he brought samples of the materials and parts along... quite gd... think i might change my original idea of having 6-panel wooden bifold foors for the balcony.. to maybe 4 or 6-panel sliding WPC doors instead.. think can save almost $1.5K... plus less maintenance problems... i hope... my dad recommended me to hack away the utility room... unable to convince my wife...

Hi Csingeu, I will advise you against the idea of a down hang sliding door for your balcony. Being frameless and at 2.5 meters, there is bound to be movement from the wind blowing. For a bigger panel of glass, for it to be stronger, it has to be tempered.Tempered is strong as in rigid, but being rigid, it is prone to be brittle. Chances of it breaking is very high. Not only will water come in, noise, wind and heat will escape. From your other threads, you want a hts. Having a frameless sliding door is not practical. If you want a nice down hang sliding door system internally, the best looking and solid engineering imho is at interior affairs. I was admiring their German design and made down hang sliding door system. Simple, clean cut and fool proof. Very nice. If you think the glass panel is too big, for example, a four panel sliding door, tell the contractor you want a six panel door. Advantages of more panels, bigger door opening and easier to open. Disadvantage is cost. Hope this helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
