Aluminium bifold doors are manufactured from slim thermally broken aluminium profiles which provide strength and security, allowing you to fold and slide the panels back to left or right and open up an unobstructed wide opening to your patio or garden.
Also referred to as concertina doors, multifold doors and trifold doors, their continued use in home improvement projects featured in magazines and television programs such as 'Grand Designs' mean that Bi-folding doors are becoming a very popular alternative to French or patio doors. This is due to the much wider unobstructed opening possible and the low threshold options which make them ideal for use onto your patio or into your garden.
Bifolding sliding doors can be used to great effect to separate your main house from your conservatory. To conform to building regulations this door must be an external grade door and our range of timber and aluminium bifold doors fit the bill perfectly as they are fully compliant with Doc L of the Building Regulations. As standard they are supplied with our Argon Gas Filled Low E warm edged double glazing, with an exceptionally low 1.2 U value, ensuring your valuable heat is retained in the winter.
Folding doors for internal use can be specified with a low threshold or a flush track so the two floor levels remain constant. Our Visofold aluminium folding door has a 30mm low threshold which can be sunk into the floor whilst the timber bifold door also has a flush track option.
Our folding sliding doors are available in many different design configurations and doors are custom made specifically to suit your requirements, so you can decide how your door is configured and whether it stacks inwards or outwards. Depending on your requirements you can select a standard or low threshold and the door can be fitted directly onto brickwork or onto a choice of projecting cills.
Bifolding sliding doors
Our bifolding sliding doors are now specified in many new home extensions as standard. Homeowners realise the added value this type of door will bring not just to their lifestyle, but also to make their property stand out from the crowd when it's time to sell.
Traffic Door Option
Many styles can be specified with a traffic door which provide a normal day-to-day door leaf, allowing easy access to the garden without opening the whole bi-folding door up.
High Security Locking System
Our folding sliding doors are fitted with the latest high security locking. On styles supplied with a traffic door, lever handles operate a high security hook-bolt locking system and a profile key cylinder allowing access from both inside and outside. Bi-fold doors supplied without a traffic door do not have external access and can only be opened from the inside by operating the shoot bolt locking system, using the handles fitted to the meeting stiles of the door
