Pocket Doors - Existing Bath and Bypass Pocket Doors
Comments (4)In #1 you really need to consider headering, support for the header, milling the studs to conform to lath deformation caused by tile masonry base coat. 2) "I have a situation" To quote Dave Hester YUUUP "Both doors would need to slide to the same side and could either be enclosed in a pocket or left visible." If you are building a pocket in the room, why do you need two doors? If the pocket is in another room or outside the building envelope, how is it going to be encased or wether protected?...See MoreSunrise sliding door vs Provia Sliding door vs Provia French door
Comments (4)I personally think the Sunrise slider is nicer than that the Provia in this comparison. The Hinged patio or French equivalent of the Provia door would be more expensive as a standard when compared to their slider variant. Most folks have the idea that the French is a more premium door than a slider but the slider works better for most people because it does not encroach into the roof vs. and Inswing French and it has a screen as a standard whereas an Oustswing will not....See Morepocket door frames: Johnson vs. Häfele/Hawa vs ???
Comments (38)HI all. I've down the pocket door rabbit hole for quite a while. I am looking for three (3) pocket doors, all in - 32" for all. Two will be into and out of a walk through closet and one will be into a water closet (poop room). I have used Johnson and I don't want to do it again. It is 2023, April and everything is so much more expensive than I remember but here is what I could find - All Hawa w/ Futura frame and 80/Z soft close - $1,006 Cavity Sliders, with soft close - in stock locally - $720 HDPocketDoors - 80/Z $986 80/B $1278 I am leaning toward HDPocketDoors - looks like a solid frame with Hawa hardware at a reasonable price. Some questions for y'all - 80Z vs 80B ..... What I like about 80B is the whole mechanism is removable without tearing out hte wall. The top/carrier track stays in and you can remove and adjust and level the actual running track. Pretty slick. But it is a mortised connection to the door and will likely stack up costs as I figure out how to implement. Nothing wrong with 80Z 2x6 vs 2x4 - I can do 2x6 everywhere, even in the existing wall with some added meat. I think a 1-3/4" door and a 2x6 frame will make life easier with install, clearance, and choice of pocket hardware - thoughts ? Cavity Sliders - anybody out there use them ??...See MoreExterior sliding pocket door vs Panoramic door
Comments (15)I wish I could tell you we are finished building our house but we haven't even started. We still plan on going with the Nano Doors. Our builder has not heard of or worked with La Cantina and we can't get a response from them either so we crossed them off our list. Nano doors are expensive but they completetly make a statement or give you this amazing open feeling. With the amount of money we are spending on building a new house, the price of a Nano wall/door is practically nothing and totally worth the money, to us.. So we decided to have that be the one thing we were not going to compromise on. I'll keeo you updated if you're interested. We are finally through permitting and will break ground in a few weeks....See Morebrickeyee
