Post and beam Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I asked for our proposed Patio door pair and the Bi-folds to have the bottom 600mm wood instead of glass. This raised the price by...... £6k !!! The Bi folds are 3.1 metres wide in 4 panels. and the patio doors are 1.8 metres wide. 6 panels total to be altered.

MikeGrahamT21 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Why would you want a single layer of wood in place of a DG unit? cold, damp and unsightly in my opinion, and I definitely wouldn’t be paying £6k for the privilege 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelvin Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Why do you want to do this? You could upgrade to 3G for less cost. You’ll find that any changes to their standard construction massively ups the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They offer both from the catologue. I happen to prefer the look of a panel at the bottom. I did not expect there to be a massive premium for the privilige.

Kelvin Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 There’s more work in that bi-fold as it’s not just a panel at the bottom. Nevertheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post and beam Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 Hi Joe, No of course not. When i was in their office a week ago i was told the patio doors would be £220 extra each. I thought that was bonkers. So i imagined the wider Bi folds would be proportionally a little more again. So about £2k all in. Needless to say, i wont be going with this option. Shame as the rest of their offering is really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
