Move A Wall Vent For Adding Sliding Glass Door

4 2 out of 5 stars 444.
Move a wall vent for adding sliding glass door. Screw the vent to the door with 3 4 inch screws. You might choose to use an existing wall stud as a king stud in which case you can cut the opening 1 1 2 inches inside that stud and slip a jack stud into the wall. For example if you get 80 at the top and 81 at the bottom use 80 as the measurement for the best possible fit. On a simple passage door in a non loadbearing wall a header made from a pair of 2 x 4s installed on edge is usually sufficient while a typical double patio door in a non load bearing wall might require a 4 x 6 header or a 4 x 8 header.
Once you have these measurements you can begin shopping for new patio doors that fit the look of your home. The lip around the perimeter should be flush with the face of the door. Slide the base of the vent into the opening. Very large patio doors might require even larger headers depending on the load being carried.
Use the smallest measurements to fit your new door. A 2x6 header is strong enough for a 3 foot wide door opening. Barn style glass for your shower door is a functional option for smaller bathrooms where a swinging door isn t ideal. This option mostly involves glass being used versus wood in other areas of your home.
Glass barn doors in the bath. Sand and round the edges of the opening you ve created using 100 grit sandpaper. If you are cutting a larger opening as for a patio door install temporary supports and use larger lumber. In most cases it will serve as your shower door.
