hey bekkyboo7 things to consider with aluminum doors and windows, they have lower maintenance and better weather seals..... in saying that the color is a big consideration, white is great although i generally use anodised silver, this way it often blends with the backgrounds better depending on your outlooks and views as well as it is very neutral against furnishings and coloured feature walls. anodized is a much nicer finish than powder coating as well as it has no sheen to it and looks "softer" its my design you have in the photo attached to this conversation cheers adrian

stackers open up wider but glass doors are quite heavy so suggest more narrow panels rather than less wider heavier sliders...if planned in advance the bottom tracks can be recessed into a suitable floor to reduce trip hazards..we have three stacking panels with an extra matched height section with an awning window for ventilation when we don't want to open the door and/or in bad weather..the doors and window are connected into one tall wide section of 4 equal sized panels..Given the ideal situation i would also have window sections across the top for extra height and include electric openers that we have used elsewhere and find are very useful for opening high windows without having to climb up something to reach

I'm of a similar thought -- the new addition in black looks smart , and suits the style . I'd be tempted to do the fixed window in the first pic ( the dining area ) in black too , preferably by replacing the existing window , but possibly by painting as a budget measure -- it doesn't look right to me , either from the outside or inside , whereas the smaller windows in the lounge etc looks fine in white -- almost what is expected . I'd stick with white for the gutters and eves too -- the dark roof and dark brown bricks would look too bulky with black or charcoal or brown or any dark colour IMO -- it needs that light coloured break !

I would personally make it one long vanity with double basins. I think the dressing table in the middle seems like a nice idea but I very much doubt dressing tables get used in bathrooms compared to WIRs. I think you will be able to use the storage space and it won't look odd.
