We would like to remove a window and open the aperture to the maximum to fit bi-folds. How do we work out how wide is structurally safe and what type/length lintel to use?

Existing window 188cms wide, set in existing wall 346cms wide, single storey, flat roof projecting 122cms from main house structure.
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

In theroy you can have what ever opening size you wish for !!
we would just adgust the load caculation to suit the building and materials above the proposed opening.
A structual eng will do the caculations based on the builders instructions.
