Replacement doors

[ROBMH]

Hi All,
The patio doors on my Ocqueteau 715 are getting a bit past it, I'm looking to replace with bi folds or French doors.
Can any one point me in the right direction of a manufacturer please?
I tried sea glaze at the boat show whom despite having details on their website had no knowledge of the product.
Many thanks Rob

Why not a standard alu set

Why not a standard alu set

I think they will be too heavy and being domestic may look odd

The aluminium frames and sashes are not that heavy, it's the double glazed units for domestic that create the weight.

Are the aftermarket replacements? I'm looking to replace with bi folds to open up the wheelhouse

Well on a house bifold are say £700 a leaf for marine maybe £1500 and there is no difference only when they are made of stainless .

Your probably right. The only difference I can think is the marine version might use slimmer profiles and the mechanisms if 316 would add a substantial amount.

The link below is a domestic supplier but has a price calculator to give an idea of the costs.

Thinking about it I don’t think ,bi fold are a good idea ,ie fixing and stability when cruising.

I know where your coming from but many boats have them, the ones fitted to my friends Rodman would be perfect.
