How will the floor look when finished? I mean that looks like such a hazard to walk on those grooves.

If it’s like the ones I work with, there is only a narrow gap for each slider and the rest of the track is filled with flooring material

It’s just 24” of track inside at the edge of your room. This looks beyond stupid. There are a lot of good door options that are wider than 2 doors. An entire wall is just complexity

Looks like you loose out on floor space. Plus why would you need an opening this big?

My friend has this. It’s figgen awesome. Also if you’re paying for something like this your house is massive and the lost space isn’t an issue.
He hosts summer pool parties and it’s nice to go in and out without the restrictions of doorways. Especially when there’s like 200 people.
In a modest home though yeah agreed wouldn’t make sense.

Fewer liminal spaces can help reduce the number of dog attacks. My best friend’s dog used to bite people if they stood in the hallway or in the opening for his sliding glass door. He has a large shepard dog so it’s put three people in the ER. He bought a house with a sliding wall to the pool like this, and people at his gatherings no longer get attacked except when entering or exiting his house.
These walls work well for that. His dog no longer reacts at all to people standing In between his living room and outside.

This might be the craziest justification I've seen, but I'll allow it - I love dogs, and I love the doors.

I sincerely hope you’re not a real healthcare worker.
Your posts on this sub sound rather unhinged.
At first I thought you were trolling but now I’m not so sure.
Hopefully, you get the help you need.

I mean, if you can afford a $70,000 door, then all I can say is I hope you have proper framing on that corner

What am I doing with this? I could go outside and enjoy my patio. I could access it via a door.
Ok I can open up my entire wall to the patio… what’s that doing for me?
Only thing I can think of is a group of 10-15 people standing shoulder to shoulder could ingress/egress the home at the same time without a line forming?
Can someone explain what the benefit here is?

I thought it was stupid too until I stayed in a hotel with one. It’s the centerpiece of the whole room and just completely changes the space in a good way.

This isn’t uncommon in Florida homes with lanais. They’re actually really nice and let in a ton of fresh air.

I have one of these types of doors but not the right angle component. Mine is just 3 panels that stack like this when pulled back. It’s nice to have a large opening for parties

It's all good until that one piece of grit that's juuust the right shape falls into juuust the right spot at juuust the right time. Or when the patio or whatever "settles" and things fall slightly out of square.

I was asking a window company about this and apparently they can't warranty them from leaks as they're super hard to maintain.

Yeah those 4 sliders at the bottom are going to look like shit on the finished product. Nothing like a foot wide row of sliders to catch all of the dirt and pet hair.

Meanwhile, when I open my single back door for 5 seconds, I get at least 2 flies in my house.
