I'm looking to turn this
Bay Outside Bay Outside 2 Bay Inside
Into French doors.
My thoughts are rebuilding the whole structure in wood, with french doors on the bottom, wood cladding in the middle and wood windows at the top.
I'm thinking of stretching to hardwood.
Unfortunately Bi-Fold will be too expensive and personally believe those work better for larger wide flat openings.
I'm thinking of matching the wood on the doors to the cladding.
So questions (I realise these are mostly personal style ones, but..)
Hardwood or software?
Paint or varnish?
Has anyone come across wood windows/doors that are built up with wood inside, insulation in the middle and plastic/metal outer for longevity?
Also anyone got any good photos of similar
And of course any alternative ideas, as open to all thoughts at this early stage
Thanks
p.s. have already seen plenty of window guys and builders already who say yep all possible, but not great for ideas, just pricing.
