ballpark cost of full wall width folding window

Hi,

I am buying a house and I am planning to open the entire back wall and get some folding windows fitted to replace the currently present french and regular window.

I have seen a few houses like this but have no idea of the cost. I'll get a quote when I've sorted the essentials but I am curious so if you've done it or have had quote for something like that, let me know some ball park figure.

The back wall is about 5 meters wide.

Cheers

    Your talking about Bi-Fold doors, Aluminium would be around £1k per panel fitted so your opening would be circa £6k as you would probably need a 6 pane (probably nearer £5k). PVC is cheaper but no where near as good as Ali and wood needs to much upkeep.

    Aye, plus the building costs to fit an RSJ!
