pocket doors

[allstar24]

is there a way that I can create a pocket door that retracts in one direction. I am working on a Mediterranean style house and I am attempting to make a triple pocket door to bring the outside-in...if not can chief X1 do this? attached is a picture of what i am looking for.

Hi Nate
Try a 3 panel slider.That might look closer..

[ChiefChris]

Are you using a NANA wall system? Or similar....

For plan purposes - I might used 3 fixed panel windows...each sash slightly offest from the last.

I just priced a Nana system for a job. They run about $1000.00 a linear foot.

Was that installed?
I saw a site the other day with multi sliding doors,should have saved it..

[ChiefChris]

nope...that's not installed...that just the unit. I have one right now going in a project over a kitchen counter, it's 42" high and 122" wide - a little over $3600 for the unit delivered...then we have to install it....

JeldWen makes a door system like that now too - but it's not as good as the NanaWall.

I just drew it as a bi-fold door with glass panels....

[Allen42acj]

I think JeldWen is the best ..Think they will give us a symbol?

[ChiefChris]

A symbol for the folding door system would be nice...

[ChiefChris]

I've never used JeldWen - just worked with people who have used both NANA wall and JeldWen and have told me that the NANA wall is far superior.

They have already supplied us with libraries from way back..

[ChiefChris]

Oh...yeah, JeldWen has a library - but their folding door system is new this year and it's not in the library. I would be curious how they interpret it to make it a 2D plan symbol...

If we could get cad details to work like this(hope the link works)

[ChiefChris]

I know..those are some pretty helpful details. I've used those with our clients - I just want to be able to put them into my drawings.

They do have downloadable 2D CAD stuff

I was talking about the ones that move..
