Hello everyone, I’m looking for some more inspiration and would love to see your sliding doors to the terrace.

There are really so many options:
- Tilt-and-slide door
- Lift-and-slide door
- 2-panel, 3-panel, 4-panel
- Width
- Height
- Configuration
- Number of moving sashes
- ...

If you have very wide doors, please also briefly mention what impact that had on the structural engineering and what measures were required.

We are currently leaning towards a 3-panel lift-and-slide door that will be 5 meters wide (16 feet). The exact details will only be finalized during the detailed planning phase, which is still 2–3 months away, so there’s still plenty of time to gather ideas 🙂

We have two sliding doors leading to the terrace, shown in the photo on the left covered by roller shutters and on the right near the garden furniture under the roof, where the roller shutters are open. The dimensions can be seen in the attached plan as well. We are very satisfied with both sliding doors.

Was it intentional that the sliding doors are not visible in the photo? :p

Well, they are so clear and transparent that you can hardly see them anyway. And I don’t have another photo at hand right now, not on the hard drive or in the camera’s memory. 😉

May I ask what type of terrace flooring that is?

Certainly, these are WPC boards.

We also have “sliding elements.”
Frameless, floor-to-ceiling, and ceiling-high,
The largest opening is 10 meters (2x5 meters) wide. Weight per element is nearly 2 tons.
Electrically operated, with electromechanical locking, and so on.
We also have some smaller openings (3–4 meters).

I think you might be putting the cart before the horse. What is your budget?
The options and possibilities vary depending on whether you plan for €10,000 or €100,000.

This thread is not intended to focus specifically on my build or doors at this point; I would just like to see how you have implemented them 🙂

Perhaps the thread should be defined more generally and all patio doors presented. Who can make that change?
