Hello everyone,
We are building a house with a developer and are currently selecting the windows and patio doors.
The house has a very large window area in the living room. Width approx. 4.80 m and height approx. 3.40 m.
The construction description provides for a total of 8 window and door elements here - four large elements at the bottom with two tilt-and-turn doors in the middle - and four small elements above them with two tilt windows in the middle.
Since the two tilt-and-turn doors protrude far into the living room when opened and make sensible furnishing difficult, we have already been offered two central sliding doors as a special request (see plan).
Our preferred variant:
However, when we look at our future walkways from the living room out into the garden, a central opening is not practical for us as furniture will be placed there. We need side openings (seen from outside on the left at pos 1 and on the right at pos 4), so basically two “reversed” sliding door elements.
Or just one sliding door on the far left and the rest fixed.
According to the window manufacturer, this is not feasible for static reasons.
I’ve drawn how I imagine it - is this really not feasible? What do you think?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Best regards
Suzi
