Anyone fitted (or even seen) one of these concealed sliding doors?

IIRC, they could be lifted off the rails fairly easily and only tended to fall off badly put together ones. It would give me a valuable few ft^2 of space in re-laying out the bathroom ... I can't see that they can be all that much different. I was also going to say they are or were nearly impossible to draught seal but of course, for a bathroom that isn't so important. Is there no way you could have the present door opening out? Replacing a door frame or turning one around is not that big a deal. No more than messing with one of these anyway. |

My sister did that in her tiny newly built house & now regrets it. If someone is walking along the landing when someone else exits the bathroom a collision occurs. -- Dave The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk 01634 717930 07850 597257 |

What a pity that message is going to go the way of all non digita. What a loss to the whirl. |
