Unfortunately, the developer didn’t pay attention and installed the outlet for the controlled residential ventilation system on the wall where I want to have a sliding door. This is the living room, which is open to the kitchen (mid-terrace house, living room at the front facing the street, hallway in the middle, kitchen and dining area at the back). Would it be a problem if the ventilation outlet is partially blocked by a wooden sliding door in the front room? I assume the door won’t be completely airtight in front of the ventilation outlet and that there will be a few millimeters (inches) of space. The door hasn’t been installed yet; it’s still in the planning stage.

This is the passage where a sliding door will be installed. The passage is 160cm (63 inches) wide. The niche between the two wall projections is about 60cm (24 inches) wide (it was originally planned for the kitchen). That is why it is not possible to have the door slide inside the niche.
This is the wall shown on the right in the foreground in the photo above. The door will slide against this wall, and in the top right, diagonally “above” the door, you can see the outlet for the controlled residential ventilation system.
The sliding door, slightly wider than 160cm (63 inches), would, when opened, cover the outlet. The entire wall is 200cm (79 inches) long, and the outlet is 35cm (14 inches) from the corner.

The door is supposed to slide along this wall, and in the upper right, diagonally "above" the door, you can see the outlet for the controlled residential ventilation system.I don’t understand...A 160 cm (63 inches) sliding door is quite something, Marie 🤨

Yes, 160cm (63 inches) is not a small matter. 😳

Yes, 160 cm (63 inches) is not insignificant. 😳 I understand it now (I hadn’t really noticed the assignment and also thought the valve would be closer to the frame) and I don’t see any problem.
There are stoppers for sliding doors, so you might only have a passage of 150 or 140 cm (59 or 55 inches) – but that’s no big deal.

then you just have a passage of 150 or 140 – no problem at all. I hadn’t even thought of that! 😀 It’s great that this forum exists! 😀
If ventilation is not ideal because of the door, I wouldn’t consider it a big issue. I just want to avoid any mold or suffocating due to lack of fresh air. Other than that, I don’t really mind. The door will only be closed for a few hours while working; otherwise, it will stay open, and then the entire ground floor (except the hallway and bathroom) is basically one large space where air can circulate well. Suffocating just because of a sliding door would be unfortunate. 😉
But Mycraft’s explanation seems to have ruled that out. Apparently, the air finds its way around. That’s good.
Thanks to all of you! 🙂
