I couldn't tick one or the other of the boxes – I think the choice has to be made contingent on so many variables. In fact we have painted timber, double-glazed bifolds (with a fabulous retractable pleated fly-screen) at the end of the dining room leading out onto a terrace and a painted timber, double-glazed slider (with a timber-framed sliding fly-screen) on the other side of the kitchen (but on the same axis) opening onto a raised timber deck. Each works really well in terms of function and aesthetics but they would not be interchangeable as the different locations determined which was more suitable – but they have been made by the same highly skilled window craftsman and have given us nothing but pleasure. And on a hot, steamy evening with both open we have the most wonderful cross ventilation.

I don't think you can go wrong with a large timber door. The colour should contrast with the granite nicely and will even help soften all the colder surfaces. Have you seen any doors you like? https://www.houzz.com.au/products/front-doors-prbr0-br~t_10816

Where did you get it, by the way? I am actually looking for some doors for my terrace. The thing is, I don't want them to be opaque. I would like the same design for the lines to be a little more subtle with more transparent glass. Actually, I think there is no need for ornaments on the glass. Just a little shading would be more than enough. I am also curious about the prices on this one because if it's triple compared to a simple door, then I am not even considering
