8 foot by 8 foot Sliding Door Too Heavy?
Comments (5)I have sold many with no complaints, the larger the door the more important the quality is. The door is not where the problem lies in general it is the hardware. Not that familiar with Andersen any longer as I do mostly commercial these days but with any sliding doors I sell I always recommend the lager monumental stainless steel ball bearing rollers....See More8 foot door?
Comments (7)Either a full-height door or a shorter door with transom will work. If you opt for the shorter door, be sure you can get at least a one-foot high transom or it will look odd. You already have some strong vertical proportions with the columns and windows under the porch roof. Good luck! PS: Why do the windows on the far left break the horizontal banding when no other windows do? Looks odd and a bit unthoughtful in an otherwise very appealing elevation!...See More7 foot doors with 8 foot ceilings - pictures?
Comments (27)E K, after extensive deliberation, we have decided to keep standard height interior doors throughout (6'8"). We are going with higher windows and sliding French doors in rooms with higher ceilings. I ended up deciding that the 6'8" interior doors looked fine and that windows can be set higher than the doors (I looked at lots of pictures and actual houses). I actually drew several walls to scale with the 6'8" doors and higher windows to ensure I would like that look. I decided the 7' doors were an unnecessary expenses and wouldn't look that much different from 6'8" doors. I think the higher windows will bring in more light and help the ceilings to look taller. There is one bedroom where I have one 8' wall that slopes up to 9' and I will have windows on both these walls - that was my trickiest problem. In that room, I've decided to have 6'8" window height on the 8' wall and 7'8" window height on the 9' wall with 6'8" windows. Its not built yet but I hope it looks ok. Below is a house that helped me think through my decision. It has higher windows than doors. In addition, in one room the windows on two walls are set at different heights. I think it looks ok and I think the sloped ceiling in my room will make the varying window heights look even more intentional.

In fact, I will be doing 8' sliding doors and windows set at 8' in our master bedroom that has 9' ceilings. This room will also have 6'8" interior doors. I can post pictures but it won't be built for several months....See MoreHave an 8 foot sliding glass door but want a doggie door too
Comments (7)I found the slide insert inconvenient, and inefficient energy-wise, and deficient security-wise. Had a doggy door put in the wall and ABSOLUTELY love it! We live in the suburbs so we don’t worry about visitors. It does have plastic inserts to keep visitors out....See More- 21 days ago
