Hi all,
Im in the process of building an extension and at the moment im up to dpc on the external wall and a block below dpc on the inside. Im thinking ahead and have decided i would like to install some off the shelf french doors 2090 high and 1190 wide. The problem is that this size dosent fit nicely with brickwork, 5 bricks is a opening of 1125, 5 and a half is 1240 and 6 is obviously bigger, this makes no sense to me. You would think off the shelf would fit new brickwork exactly minus 5 mil each side wouldnt you? Do i just have to except 25 mil gap each side or is there a better way around this?
