ᐅ Glass sliding door – what is the maximum width?

Hello everyone,

I would like to make the door marked in the attachment as wide as possible. So far, I haven’t found any sliding doors wider than 1060 mm (42 inches). Is there perhaps something like consecutive double sliding doors? In my case, both would need to slide to the right. Or do you see any other clever solutions here, maybe something involving drywall construction?

Yes, such doors do exist. I will need to install something like that in my own home as well. However, the prices are not insignificant. Just the fittings alone cost me around 500€ (about $540). You can save a bit if you forgo soft-close mechanisms and the coupling of the two door panels. Then you also have to add the cost of the doors themselves. So if you still have some flexibility in your planning that could simplify things, it might be worth considering.

Best regards,
Michael

Do you happen to have a link for me?

Isn't this something for the local carpenter?

Just to ask provocatively:

Are you absolutely sure you actually need a door there needs?

We faced the same problem but then decided to leave the passage completely open without any door at all.

In our parents' houses, the entrance to the living area each has a double door, but 99.9% of the time one half is simply open or the other half just gets in the way...

Yes, you're right, most of the time this door will remain open. But when needed, we want to be able to separate this area from the living space. For example, when bacon is being fried in the pan or when the wife comes home from the night shift and wants to sleep during the morning while the kids are playing in the living room.
