We have a double brick house and we are renovating the living area. The rest of the house has metal white frame Windows and wooden doors. Would it be better to install aluminium or wooden sliding doors in the renovated living room which will go out to the back garden.

Comments (5)Large glass doors will be a major heat leaker... depending on your aspect and the time of the year, leaking heat into the house or out of it. Nothing better than triple block curtains with pelmets (with a top), that go all the way to the floor and extend past the window. Not quite as good thermally but better for adjusting light into the room while maintaining privacy are timber (not plastic) shutters, fitted inside the frame of the window, and again down to the floor... so that the entire window pane is covered when the shutters are closed. The latter would probably best suit your needs, unless your house swings between freezing cold and blisteringly hot....See MoreWindow or Sliding door?

Comments (12)I agree that you need a blind like a roller or roman that goes up and out of kitty's way. Nobody has yet addressed your query about panel glides: Panel glides work best on large doors where there is room to stack the panels when opened. you will lose at least one third of your left glass door panel if you use panel glides and they also project into the room quite a bit....See MoreShould exterior sliding glass doors color match color of windows?
Comments (1)are the new sliding glass doors double glazed? are the original windows single glazed or in need of replacing for any other reason? do you hate the beige colour? how many of the old windows can be seen at the same time as the new doors? ... inside looking out is the most important view for me but what do you like the look of?...See More
