Why choose our aluminium bi fold doors

Flexible living

The attraction of a door that simply folds out of the way is undeniable.  It’s a boon when entertaining, and it’s wonderful on a balmy summer evening.

But a bifold that isn’t well built can spell trouble. The forces and the weight are considerable which is why our doors are ideal.

These aluminium doors have all the strength a bifold needs and packs a real punch with their ultra-slim sashes. Because it includes full-length thermal break technology in its sections, they are also highly insulating. The tough polyester powder coating resists damage from scuffs and day-to-day knocks.

Aluminium bi fold doors can be configured to your exact needs and are a fabulous example of great engineering. Components include double hinge fixings for reliable long-term performance, multipoint locking to the main door and shootbolts for high security.

There’s also an outstanding track and roller system that’s easy to operate and maintain, ensuring they are always reliable and always ready to impress.

Condensation is a result of humidity levels inside your home. Proper ventilation and using a dehumidifier can help reduce condensation. Additionally, choosing double or triple glazed units with thermal breaks in your aluminium bi-fold doors can minimise condensation build up. Our options come with 28mm double glazing as standard to help you avoid condensation.

Aluminum bi-fold doors themselves don’t cause condensation. However, if there’s a significant difference in indoor and outdoor temperatures or high humidity levels, condensation can occur on any type of doors or windows.

Aluminium bi-fold doors come with adjustable hinges and tracks. If you notice misalignment or difficulty in operation, follow the manufacturer’s instructions or get in touch with our expert team who will be happy to discuss this in more detail.

Well-maintained aluminium bi-fold doors can last for decades. Generally, you can expect them to have a lifespan of around 20 to 30 years or more, given their sturdy construction and resistance to weather elements. We offer a 10 year mechanical performance guarantee.

Cleaning aluminium bi-fold doors is simple. Use a mixture of mild soap and water to wipe down the frames and glass. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the surface. Regular cleaning maintains their appearance and longevity.

Aluminium is popular for bi-fold doors due to its strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. It’s also lightweight, allowing for larger glass panels and better views. Its sleek, modern appearance makes it a preferred choice for contemporary designs. UPVC bi fold doors are also a great option.
