    What are bi-fold doors?

    Bi-fold doors are sliding doors with a concertina-style fold in which the door panels neatly collect to one side leaving a wide opening. With as many as eight door panels, you can create a fully glazed wall, depending on the size of the space. Opening up the room, creates an open-plan feel between home and garden making them an increasingly popular alternative to traditional exterior french doors.

    Although perfect for summer, you don’t have to worry about bi-fold doors letting you down during winter. Like all our doors, they still possess all the energy-efficient qualities that keep your home warm. Our door frames combined with our high-quality  double glazing provide superior insulation. Security is taken care of too with multi-point locking and secure frames that will keep your home safe.
