Double Height Sliding Doors for a Somerset Extension

Brook Lodge is a double-height residential extension in Bath, Somerset, featuring minimal windows® sliding doors designed to create a generous connection between the kitchen, living space and garden. 

A two-track minimal windows® sliding door system was specified at the base of the double-height extension, providing expansive views and direct access to the garden. The project required a bespoke configuration because kitchen cabinetry positioned on either side of the rear wall prevented a conventional arrangement where all sliding panels could stack away. 

The solution uses two fixed panels positioned either side of a single central sliding panel, allowing the doors to operate effectively around the internal kitchen layout while maintaining the slim sightlines and open appearance associated with minimal windows®.

As with all minimal windows® systems, the Brook Lodge installation combines slim aluminium sightlines with carefully considered detailing, creating a clean connection between the double-height extension and garden. The system incorporates fully recessed head and base profiles, while the flush threshold detail includes an integrated drainage system to manage rainwater while maintaining a seamless transition between the internal and external spaces.

The bespoke configuration at this Bath, Somerset property demonstrates how minimal windows® sliding doors can be adapted to suit the requirements of a contemporary residential extension. With double height glazing and a two-track arrangement designed around the kitchen cabinetry, the system provides expansive views and direct access to the garden without compromising the internal layout or usability of the space.

The Brook Lodge project demonstrates how minimal windows® sliding doors can be adapted to the architectural requirements of a Somerset residential extension. The combination of slim sightlines, high-performance glazing and a bespoke two-track configuration creates a strong connection between the double-height extension and garden, while accommodating the practical requirements of the internal kitchen layout.

This approach highlights the flexibility of slim sliding doors in Bath and across Somerset, where carefully considered glazing can enhance contemporary extensions without compromising the overall design.
