Aluminium bifolding & sliding doors
Bifolding doors
Bifolding doors can transform your living space and open up a multitude of possibilities in your home, making it a lighter more welcoming environment in which to live and break down the barriers between inside and out. No other item in your home can transform your living space in this way. And recent surveys suggest that the inclusion of a quality set of bi-folding doors is likely to be more important to potential buyers than a new kitchen or conservatory.
About bifolding doors
The concept of bifolding has come a long way from the patio doors of the mid 1900’s which were fully-glazed but basic sliding or opening doors, whose quality of construction was sometimes questionable. The new alternative is cleverly designed, aesthetically beautiful, bifolding doors that are energy efficient, provide better security and safety, and when constructed from aluminium, are maintenance free.
The advantages of bifolding doors over traditional sliding patio doors is that unlike the latter that typically only open up half of the available opening, bifolding doors fold back to just a few inches of the opening so considerably more of the outside environment can be enjoyed, utilising space as never before and making them the ideal choice for apartments as well as houses. Combined with longevity, the convenience and versatility they offer is endless.
You only need to flick through any of the glossy home improvement or lifestyle magazine, such as Grand Designs, to see why they have become the product of choice for designers and architects aiming to make domestic architecture more interesting.

Sliding doors
Sliding patio doors add eye-catching impact to the exterior of your home. The outward appearance focuses on stunning glass areas, highlighted by bold aluminium sections styled with clean aesthetic lines that work in harmony with the character of any home.
Sliding doors deliver optimum performance and are tested to the highest standards to guarantee reliability. The strong, thermally broken aluminium sections enable the creation of dramatic sliding sashes with large glass areas without reducing thermal or weather resistance. Special sliding mechanisms enable even the largest sashes to slide open and closed smoothly, whatever their size.
When closed these large sliding doors form a thermally efficient glass façade, a wonderful way to flood a space with light and enjoy beautiful views.
