Looking to find a sliding barn like door for internal use in Australia
Comments (2)Yes thanks I had checked them out but seems they only supply the tracks not the actual doors. Am going to email them. Cheers...See MoreInternal barn doors.
Comments (8)Hi Mandy Have been following to see if anyone could help you with this question, but nothing so far. I've wondered the same and although I haven't as yet installed a barn door my thoughts are that they would make a metal on metal sound when opening and closing, with the wheel rolling along the track, but if there was a rubber or silicone ring around the wheel it would slide more freely & quietly, more like a sliding door sound I guess. As far as the door moving in a breeze, you can put a guide on the floor that the door glides over (so there's a groove all along the bottom of the door to accommodate the guide). Good luck with your door....See MoreLooking for simple internal sliding screen door
Comments (1)It was probably made when the window was made and integrated into the frame of the window by the window maunfacturer rather than added in later by a third party. Best of luck, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls...See MoreWhat are the alternatives to bi-fold doors?
Comments (109)Hi @Siriuskey, I don't charge as your designer would for his time so I hope my furniture and colours don't put you off. Firstly I have to tell you...noting you have drawn or suggested has put me off...in fact quite the opposite. I would not have considered an open stair case without seeing your 3D projection. We now WILL head down this direction. So kudos to you for helping me think on this. Just revive the thinking on your stairs, they do take up a lot of passage and study space, cramping it. As much as I might like to move the stairs, I am somewhat restricted for various reasons I have mentioned. I honestly dont think they take up a bunch of room and I think where they are postioned maximses the family spaces. Just looking at your own 3D model for the position of the front door it all looks great. My CAD program is a lot older than your designers but it was top end Nothing at all wrong with your program or your diagrams. They really helped us with a positive direction which our own designer didnt come up with and now agrees with. Once again I would still like you to re think your stairs, this deals with the bi fold doors (why are they glass) and the anomaly of the windows. I really cant do a lot with the stairs or the position of the wall in the corridor for the study. There are a number of considerations around loading which I cant easily combat. Making the staircase open I think really adds a lot of dimension to the space and actually makes it work. We haven't decided on what the bi-folds will look like. My wife happens to like the glass...but we haven't made any solid decisions. Don't forget the Fridge, it's very important Thank you. Yes I wont forget. :)...See Moresiriuskey
