Sliding doors vs bi-fold doors — how do they stack up?
Comments (27)I couldn't tick one or the other of the boxes – I think the choice has to be made contingent on so many variables. In fact we have painted timber, double-glazed bifolds (with a fabulous retractable pleated fly-screen) at the end of the dining room leading out onto a terrace and a painted timber, double-glazed slider (with a timber-framed sliding fly-screen) on the other side of the kitchen (but on the same axis) opening onto a raised timber deck. Each works really well in terms of function and aesthetics but they would not be interchangeable as the different locations determined which was more suitable – but they have been made by the same highly skilled window craftsman and have given us nothing but pleasure. And on a hot, steamy evening with both open we have the most wonderful cross ventilation....See MoreDoor dilemma
Comments (18)Are you able to install a window on that back wall where the washer is at the moment? I know you said there is a hot water unit on the other side, but if its to one side of the wall and not in the middle, maybe you could install a window on that wall which will bring light into the room. Also I would change the washer and put in the corner of back wall and the external wall, so its facing the sliding door, this will allow you to put cabinets in a sort of L shape and install the laundry sink next to the washer on that back wall. This will give you cabinets all along the other wall, extra space and storage. The external doors you can make them open outwards and all the way back against the wall, all you need is the right hinges. So when you speak to your carpenter let them know that you would like it to open outward completely and up against your external wall. I would also swap the door, so that the hinges are on the other side, so as you open the door outwards it will open to your right as you're looking at the picture and up against the wall not the bathroom window....See MoreScreens for Bay window?

Comments (6)Looks like the drain that the down pipe goes into isn't working as it should, over flows before water enters the drain. Love the random pavers, these could certainly be reused adding a few more to replace the bricked area all on one level as this would enable a better space for outdoor table and chairs. The pergola is tired and would be great if as you mentioned could be raised up a bit, depends on what the Body Corporate will allow, a couple of see through panels inserted above next to the building would help with light. A BBQ kitchen on the back wall, plus I would try to re swing the door back to it, the door gets in the way as it is, can it open inwards opposite the sink. Certainly keep the garden beds it will help soften all the hard surfaces, taller planting along the boundary will also add privacy cheers...See Moreswich5
