Am thinking of fitting upvc bi-fold/sliding doors to extension. have been told I will need to fit a beam to carry the weight of them, but does anyone know how long lasting these doors are. some double glazing companies won't fit or garantee them.
thanks

any window company will have no problem installing bi-folding doors.
Aslong as you have a level cill and good solid fixing in the head you wont have any problems.My company would fit and still give a 10year guarantee to the frames and glass.
