Hi all
I have been busy doing some serious investigation on this. Have now visited several of door suppliers in the North Dublin area and also discussed with a number of joineries. Not all the door suppliers will supply a frame and glass, in fact most of them would only supply the door ,and some of them would fit it and some of them do not. This might be all very well for the builder /DIYer but for a normal homeowner working full time it is a bit of a hassle coordinating all the parties involved.
The one stop solution (door shop) seems to be the expensive route, but for that you get it all done through one source, all you have to do is pay up, select your glass design from the choice available at the door suppliers, and wait for the door etc to be measured.
However approaching a joinery- although more time-consuming - appears to provide ultimately a more customised' solution. For this you can get the door and frame made to your specification. However most of them will not supply the glass. So you will need your own glass supplier. However I have secured an excellent and very obliging glazier who will fit the glass as required, and has loads of design options. I will let you know how I get on and provide the addresses if it turns out well.
