Hello,
we are currently considering the windows in our kitchen.
It concerns the windows on the lower side of the plan, where the terrace will be located (or possibly a conservatory in the future).
The plan shows a sliding door and next to it a narrow fixed panel with a hinged door beside it.
We are wondering if there might be a better way to arrange this.
For example, the window supplier suggested a sliding door spanning the entire wall (about 4m (13 feet) in total). Has anyone had experience with such a large sliding door? The sliding part would then be about 2m (6.5 feet). Would it be very difficult to slide?
Or does anyone have a completely different idea?
I have also attached an exterior view.
The windows on the upper side could possibly be changed as well. The right one is fixed and cannot be moved or enlarged. The others are flexible.
I am open to everything. It is just important to me that there is a floor-to-ceiling window in the kitchen ; )

Just as an aside... The floor plan is very promising!
And no, a 2m (6 ft 7 in) sliding door is not difficult to operate! A 4m (13 ft 1 in) facade looks great! Although I would keep the window widths consistent... So the window on the right in the kitchen and the two wide ones in the living room around the corner! For the last three, I would choose uniform 3m (9 ft 10 in) wide sliding doors! However, you should be aware that curtains on such windows are more complicated!

In our current rental house, we have a lift-and-slide door approximately four meters wide, consisting of a two-meter (6.5 feet) lift-and-slide door and a two-meter (6.5 feet) fixed panel.
The door operates smoothly. We like it so much that we have planned the same for the new house. I only see advantages in it (price aside)...

A sliding panel curtain with a track system is perfect for this. Curtains are old-fashioned anyway! In 5 seconds, everything is completely privacy-shielding, and the entire front can be opened if needed.
