Hi
I currently have purchased a house which has previously had an extension done from North to South of the side of the house. This is a two-storey extension with the last one meter of the rear garden being a single storey extension with a pitched roof. I am now looking at the installing bio-fold doors which would be shaped as a L. However, the SE has said that I will need either a masonry buttress. Another person has recommended wind post if I want the biofold to go from the corner of the one-storey part of the extension.
If I install wind-posts, is this quite expensive? If so how much would you estimate?
A further issue which has been identified by the SE is that the universal beams would be sitting on the parameter of the wall and therefore I need to consider thermal issues to cover the steal beams. Does anyone have any suggestions of how to cover the steal beams without installing a canopy? (And whcih can blend with apt he existing brickwork) below the beams would be the biofold doors.
Many thanks for your help in advance.
