I don't disagree Lexan is the best choice, but IME it's also the most expensive. I found 1/4" plate glass less expensive than either Lexan or Plexi/acrylic, and considerable enough of a range ($38-$100) to make shopping for the glass worthwhile.Gormagon":11fslj1j said:I tried the plexiglass route and I don't recommend it because it will get scratched up in no time. Lexan is the way to go, it's hard to scratch. Personally I will not do another sliding door front, only hinged double doors for me.
I like hinged doors because of a few advantages.MrSpectrum":2atn218f said:I don't disagree Lexan is the best choice, but IME it's also the most expensive.

I would have preferred aluminum channels as well, but again, plastic was far less expensive.
Out of curiosity, may I ask the bias against sliding doors? I went with sliders because I didn't have to make frames for them. I found some stick-on finger pulls that work great, except I should have gotten the thinner 1/16" thick instead of the 1/8" thick. The 1/16" will bypass, whereas the 1/8" don't.
Can't/wouldn't argue with any of that!Gormagon":26zbomm1 said:I like hinged doors because of a few advantages.
1. I can open the entire front for cleaning and disinfecting those nasty little poops, lol!!!
2. I don't have to worry about scratches (they don't rub together).
3. It makes them easier to wipe down.
4. I already have the diamond bits to drill the glass for hinges (cabinet building days) and I use push magnet latches

I've heard of keeping them from seeing each other, but I've not heard of hearing each other being a problem (or are you yanking chain? :roll: )Gormagon":1kjvs23e said:I would have already built the double stack but I have yet to figure out a sound dampener so they cant't hear each other.

If you're serious, I would think a layer of ½" rigid foam insulation (blue, pink, or white) would be sufficient.
...Or you could get them little pairs of earmuffs! :lol:
