New sliding doors from lounge onto balcony to replace present PVC double gazed doors. New doors with narrower frame. Also remove the step over and replace with sliders at floor level. At present the roll down outer blind is in the top of the door. These would not have to be renewed, but the compartment over door to be made good. I hope there is a good builder out there who can do this job. I live in La Florida area.

Thank you

If you are going to use PVC as replacement, I doubt very much if you will get narrow , as in PVC is 70 mm thickness, and it more or less standard

But if you opted for Aluminium you will get a thickness of 50-55 mm thickness, but Aluminium is more common due to price difference, PvC is stronger and Entrance doors can have a 5 point locking system where as Aluminium is 3 point locking system but must be requested on day of ordering
