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?

I would initially save the money and skip the door. However, if you later realize you need it, it should be relatively easy to install it afterwards. This way, you have a bit more flexibility in your home construction budget.

Well, those are not bad arguments – however, in my opinion, a sliding door is not the optimal solution.

Especially with sliding doors, and particularly multi-panel sliding doors, there is always a gap between the panels that allows noise or odors to pass through unfiltered.

I would rather invest in a good extractor hood and bedroom doors with enhanced sound insulation.

I would have preferred an open version of the stairwell anyway... Still, a closed door won’t contain odors like fish, bacon, and onions.

And when you are inside the house, the children are at the age of morning school attendance.

If anything, I would retrofit it or reconsider the finer details of the floor plan now.
