Bi-fold doors 1" too small for opening

I have just purchased bi fold mirror doors. My closet opening is 47" and the procuct I purchased is 48" (2x24"). Opening is a wall on the left side and a double stud on the right side. Can you please give me some guidance on how these can be installed. Any help would be appriciated,
Thank You, Christine Ohl

Read the instructions and see what they say about the width of the opening needed. If indeed you need the full 48", you can get it.

Glass window randomly shattered!

Last night the non-movable part of our sliding glass door popped and then proceeded to crack into a billion small pieces overnight...thankfully it's the type of glass that doesn't break apart all over the place...three questions: 1) Can anyone explain why that would happen? There are no holes/evidence of foul play. 2) What type of store replaces something like this? 3) Is there any danger in it being broken for a few days until I can figure out what to do? It actually looks pretty neat (I wish I could just keep it the way it is - it's like a clear stain-glass window) :)Read More

Nescor Custom Windows

Spud on Jan 21, 2004

I am considering turning a screened in porch into a full use room. I live in a post and beam house and the porch screening is framed in 4x6 and 6x6 timbers. The openings range in size from 30x64 to 36x64.....10 in total. I was going to purchase some standard sized windows and frame out the openings to fit. I decided to call Nescor for an estimate on custom windows. After a 3 hour presentation.....the windows seem to be excellent quality...I got a quote of about $1100 each. I realize this is grossly overquoted before the iratating negotiating...the callbacks...etc,etc,etc... So...has anybody heard /purchased from Nescor? [url]www.nescoronline.com[/url] Does anyone have a similar product? It is a vinyl, double hung, triple glass,Krpyon gas (middle portion is their "NASA developed reflecting special glass"). It has foam insulation throughout the frame,etc,etc. If anybody has heard of Kirby vacums..thay have a similar presentation...overbuilt, overpriced...but can negotiate down pretty low if you are persistant enough. Any info/insight is appreciated!!Read More
