Hi,
We are in the middle of a renovation project, and just realised that the builders left an opening of just 2000mm (brick to lintel) to install an outward opening bi-fold door. My research on bi-fold doors suggests that we will loose some of this height to the door's threshold and hanging rails, and knowing that the bottom end of the opening sits 100mm lower than the level at which finished floors will be, does anyone have any suggestions on how to maximise the headroom? As by my calculation, we would have 1822mm of headroom only (accounting for 100mm threshold for the door to be flush against the finished floors and 78mm for overhang rails), which I believe to be way too low.
Many thanks in advance
