What I want is a set of 2 doors that once folded - lay flat against the wall rather than stick out into the room.
I am having a 1500mm wide opening made in a wall.
How do I work out what size casing and frame I need?
Do I just get a casing to fit the opening and then find doors to fit the opening or should I work backwards from the doors and then find the casing for the doors and adjust the opening width.
I looked online and found that bifold doors come in standard sizes so

is 682mm wide or 2ft 3 - to fit in a door space 686 - doubling that gives me 1372 plus the width of a door maker 10mm so 1382mm.
Now what is the thickness of a door lining / case? is it 20mm so thats another 40mm.
1372 + 40mm = 1412mm - so I have a gap of possible 9cm to make up?
