How about using those nice folding type door?

Personally i dont mind without the string curtain but my wife says not nice with such open concept. Putting a permanent divider makes the hall looks smaller.

Actually I think in your case an open concept is better. Having a divider does make the space smaller.

In my case I explored most options. Sliding door is probably ok looking although not the most practical but I think we are ok due to limited traffic through that door.

I have a feeling you are leaning more towards aesthetics than functionality.

This is closer to the design my subcontractor is proposing. My current house is similar 3 panel glass which I walked into twice in ten years! 🤣

This design is clean, efficient and functional. But the barn door appeals to my heart 😬

🤣 I looked at kerjakayu. Their promotion is standard size 1m width. Mine should be around 46" so the price doesn't apply

Also I like the barn door with wood frame with translucent glass. Not a solid wood plank as my house is essentially a glass house! 😊

True ... easier to clean on aluminium and glass.  Plus if doing Chinese cooking, the oil and cooking smell might seep into the wood over time.

The only downside is the aluminium sliding mechanism doesn't look nice - very "office" like.

But the mechanism is different for alu vs wood. There is no point to get wood grain but with less visually impact alu mechanism.

thanks for mentioning the promo.

the promo end date should be 15/12/2019 instead of 15/11/2019 due to typo error. will fix them later.

Hi

This stainless steel barn door railing is closer to what u wanted. Can opt for this instead of those normal barn door railing.

we've done barn door wood frame with glass previously

also aluminium barn door with ACP

Basically you just need to update us your requirements as we do custom made stuffs based on customer preferences.

As for ur 46" width door size, should be able to do with the promo price.

Thanks
