Options for sliding doors

[northdownmummy]

We’re building an extension that includes a big open plan kitchen living area. We’ve an almost 7m opening which we want to have sliding doors.
Went to a showroom today and their sliding doors only open from the centre, you wan have no more than half the width open.

We’d been picturing being able to have 2/3rds open and being able to open from either side.

The challenge is that we’re based in Northern Ireland and there don’t seem to be many manufacturers that do a 3 track system. Hopeing that someone in here has found someone who does???

Sliding doors are not like bifolds where you can open them fully. Sliders will always have a fair amount of the opening closed. The trade off is you have less frame to interfere with the view outside.

Have a look at ID systems.. We have 3 door sliders but I know they do more.

Just to add we are looking at sliders for our extension which is approx 6.5m wide. We are interested in the Dutemann Glide S system which can accommodate a triple track and therefore you can have more than 2 panes and therefore more opening.
