Solid or Engineered window frames?

    Currently finalising specs on windows/doors and i have a large sliding door section (6m divided into two - one fixed one sliding). I am getting varying info from suppliers as to whether or not this is possible. Would i be right in saying that an engineered (i.e. laminated frame) would be best suited to this application over and above solid timber (both aluclad frames)? Anyone any experience/issues with large sliders?

    Thanks

    Fclauson. Could I get a pm as well.
    Have got a quote from one crowd in the North, aluclad for a 5.6x2.7 m slider, but I have only the brochure, not the actual window itself.
    I have recently saw an aluminium double glazed sliding door, was very heavy to open so has me a bit concerned.
