Opening corner sliding doors

The opening corner sliding doors at Fig Tree House use sliding leaves on two perpendicular elevations. The panes move away from their meeting point along each elevation, opening the dining area to the terrace without a fixed post at the corner junction.

This arrangement demonstrates how corner sliding doors can connect a dining extension with its garden. A slender structural column sits back within the extension, allowing the glazed corner itself to remain clear when the doors are open.

The minimal windows® 4+ installation at Fig Tree House uses sliding leaves on two perpendicular elevations. The panes move away from their meeting point along each elevation, opening the dining area to the terrace without a fixed post at the corner junction.

This opening corner configuration extends garden access around the edge of the dining space. A slender structural column sits back within the extension, allowing the glazed corner itself to remain clear when the doors are open.

Fig Tree House also includes a fixed glass-to-glass corner beside the mature fig tree. The adjoining panes maintain the outlook around the return while enclosing this part of the dining area.

The fixed junction complements the opening corner elsewhere in the extension. Together, the two configurations provide a continuous garden outlook alongside a broad opening to the terrace.

When closed, the opening corner sliding doors retain views across the terrace from the kitchen and dining area. Daylight enters through adjoining glazed elevations, while narrow vertical profiles limit the framing within the garden outlook.

At the opening corner, two perpendicular track runs meet at the edge of the internal floor. The sliding leaves move along the perimeter of the room, allowing the area beside the dining table to open directly onto the terrace.
