OT:sliding glass door recommendation, anyone?
Comments (3)We are very happy with our Andersen Frenchwood Glider. Ours has an oak interior (which we had stained to match all the interior doors) and Terratone-colored exterior (to match the Andersen windows we'd installed)....See Morelift and slide door recommendations
Comments (0)We would like to put glass lift and slide doors (or some other sliding door with a minimal threshold) into our apartment in NYC in order to allow us to have separate office spaces which are still somewhat sound resistant but still let light through. Someone on another one of these posts recommended lift and slide doors, which I had not heard of, but which sounds like this is exactly what would work for us. I was hoping there might be a few people here with expertise in this area that could offer some advice. Here are our questions: 1) Can we even use lift-and-slide doors in our floor situation? This is a high-rise condo bldg with concrete subfloors (and the bldg won't give us permission to do any drilling into the concrete subfloor). We will be putting in new bamboo floating floors which are 9/16" thick on top of FloorMuffler underlayment - is this enough room for the tracks in the lift and slide doors systems to be laid into the floor so that they are still recessed as they are supposed to be? (I've tried to look at the specs on the various websites, but wasn't clear about how much space you needed in the floor to install the recessed tracks.) 2) Any particular recommendations on brand? These will be all interior, so weatherproofing features are just a waste of money in our case, but we do want something that slides easily and which is a sound resistant as possible, and which is hopefully reliable and durable. We'd also prefer less framing and more glass, to let more light and views through. The brands I've found so far are: Marvin, Panda, Kolbe, Weiland, Nanawall, and Weathershield. Anyone have any particular recommendations about one brand being better than another (in particular for our described usage)? Thanks in advance for any advice!...See MoreSliding glass patio door recommendations please
Comments (6)I posted this last night both here and the remodeling forum but do not know what happened to my response here.. Integrity by Marvin is a good choice, preferable Wood/Ultrex. Stay away from anything from a box store....See MoreConsidering a 18' multi-slide glass door - any brand recos?
Comments (2)Are there any windows as a part of this? I would start with the same manufacturer and go from there if not satisfied. I don't believe either La Cantina or Western have windows. Agree with the above posts. Keep us apprised of what you are doing....See MoreCarrie B
