5m opening - Bifold or Sliding doors

I am in the process of starting my rear extension. I have a 4.8-5m wide opening facing my garden .

Initially I had thought of going with the bifolds 1.2m wide - 4 panel system. However I am told that with even no. of panes, the traffic door opens on different side and with 1.2m doors on both sides, too much of space will be wasted on my patio.


Hence, I am now thinking of either a 1m wide 5pane bifold to overcome the issue or a 5m 3panel sliding door. Any suggestions what would be better ?


Concerns :

1. 5 panel 1m bifolds will result in too many doors and frames

2. Sliding door - 1/3rd of the space will not be opened.


Suggestions or alternate ideas would be welcome :)
