I have seen show homes in NW FL with sliding glass doors that disappear
into the wall framing when opened. I would like to have these in my new house ( 2 4ft panels on each side) but can’t find any info on the construction material availability or technique. Where would I get tracks? Do I have to have the doors customed? How the the pocket constructed? What are my heat/air loss problems going to be and how do I minimise them?
Oh please, somebody tell me I can buy these as a unit with instructions.
I can build anything with good instructions.
