Let me know if I can help @fatgus drop me a message if you would like to.

Side hung garage door panels are usually 40mm, sectional garage doors can be 60mm. If you need any assistance, drop me a message. Remember that a good triple glazed door would be supplied with a panel or glass at circa 48mm (not including entrance style doors).

Is it just aluminium? Sleek look with minimal sightlines. You’re looking something like Solarlux Cero, Cortizo, Q-Fort, Reynaers, Schuco etc. These can be a bit pricey.

They are tbf.

I hate to say it, we don't have the standard of workmanship or mass builders capable of achieving it. Training the trades will take a long time and a lot of "we know better attitude". All of them do the builds on the cheap, cut corners where and when they can. As an example, I wouldn't trust Bellway to run a bath. Smaller more independent builders have come a long way but in my opinion, we are still miles behind achieving anything like this on a mass scale. The recent warm grant scheme should highlight the amount of charlatans that are around.

Oh I do not disagree, it’s a ****ing eyesore.

I’m of two opinions. 1: not much wrong here tbh, it is how uPVC windows are installed as standard these day but @Nickfromwales solution is a good one. 2: Stone cills exist for a reason, they have a job to do and windows don’t always need stub cills.

I know of them but haven’t actually come across them yet. Sorry, not really anything I can add. As far as I know, this is their own system (Hyline) and not a profile they buy such as Cortizo. There are a few suppliers in the UK but not many are “main stream”.

It’s very unlikely the slab of the door is hollowed, it’s usually a solid slab of PIR with laminated timber either side. A smoke test will indicate where this is occurring. I do not suspect the slab but it can’t be ruled out. It’s usually down to adjustment being required as the door isn’t sealing correctly or it’s coming through the perimeter or through the glazing bead area, which is a possibility. .

I should be, but I’m not sure any exist that can help me, that new projects and a coffee can solve.

I need to give you a shout the next time I'm heading down the M6, which should be in about 2 weeks time. It's been too long.

Not that I can recall, I did something similar recently, it should be safety glass, so I would suggest laminated glass (toughened at least) and 6mm should be suffice.

I’m up for that, anyone else here in the land of Nessie in the central belt?

I’m in Chard middle of February, was supposed to be now but slight delay. Might take you up on that 😉
