I am also in the build stage and originally, I was having a fish tank that was then to become the focal point of the lounge, hence all the furniture was to face the tank. Now, the tank has been scraped and I have, with the help of a dear friend, completely done a 360* with the furniture and was able to decide to hang the tv from the opposite wall. My point is, if your plan is in it's infancy, in other words not set in concrete, on the drawing board still, then my advice is, CHANGE something, so that the room becomes more balanced!! No time like now to visualize the space and keep drawing just that room until you have enough windows, doors etc... to satisfy your needs and you will probably solve the problem fairly quickly. Good Luck, Barbara

We're doing the same, 2 sets. Want wood but have been told they "may" warp, even though under a covered alfresco. Don't have a firm cost yet but indication from builder is $10-15k more than powder coated aluminium. Total width of each set is 3250 divided into 3 doors, with stacking security screens. Don't have a price for the aluminium ones yet to compare but +$10-15k has probably helped with the decision. Have bifolds at current house but will be going for stackers at the reno house because they can have the stacking security screens, whereas bifolds are difficult to security screen, you can flyscreen but it's quite a flimsy arrangement.

Fly screens can be included. The track is wider to accommodate two sets of sliding doors, one your glass, the other your fly screen. Another option could be a retractable fly screen. This allows when the doors are completely open (no bugs around) the fly screen can be retracted completely to side of window frame.

I you are changing from stacker to bi fold doors you should ensure that there is a single door included within one of the bi folds, preferably next to the kitchen. I wonder why you are deciding between white or black windows and doors for this room when you already have white elsewhere. What colour are the internal and external walls.
