Bifold Door Configurations

Bifold doors configurations work in pairs to concertina when they open. When there is an odd number of glass panels, one of them can be used independently as a traffic or access door. This traffic door will prove invaluable and an easy way to access a garden without pulling back the whole door system. Our bifold door configurations can open in both directions to provide complete flexibility and ease of use.

All our designs are built with quality and performance in mind to ensure they exceed the standards set by UK Building Regulations. Have complete peace of mind with our products that can be tailored to your customer’s exact requirements. We work with their specifications to create doors that promise to be the perfect fit every time.

Bifold configurations with an even number of panels do not allow for a master or traffic door. However, this door style will save vital space, especially if you are working on a project that has a limited wall area. Alternatively, an odd number of doors comes with more multi-locking points for extra security. This is generally the better option for larger scale work.

Two Panel Bifold Door Configurations

Two panel bi-fold door configurations are a modern alternative to traditional French doors. They will add a touch of elegance to any property due to their sleek design. The two panels concertina together so they can be completely pulled back. This will provide your customers with ultimate ventilation and extended views.

Two panel bifold door configurations are the perfect option if you are working on a project with limited space and budget. They are simple to install, so your clients could be enjoying their benefits within a couple of weeks. The doors work on a smooth sliding mechanism to ensure they never become stiff or get jammed.

Three Panel Bifold Door Configurations

This type of bifold door configuration is ideal for those looking to create a master door. The odd number of panels means one can be hinged to open individually, allowing easy access into a garden or courtyard space. Three panel bifold door configurations can be installed to slide from either the right or the left to give your customer complete flexibility with their design.

These doors are an ideal way to flood any property with more warmth and light. Three panel bifold doors are highly secure due to their sophisticated multi-point locking systems. We integrate enhanced safety measures into all our products to guarantee they are completely impact proof and resistant to strong force.

Six Panel Bifold Door Configurations

Six panel bifold door configurations are a great option if you are working on a project with a bit more space. The even number of glass panels fold together to create a beautiful feature that will perform well throughout the year. They can all move to the right or to the left, or they can be arranged in a 3-3 formation. This formation means they can move in opposite directions.

Six and seven bifold door configurations are continuing to grow in popularity with homeowners. An end panel can be used as a traffic door to allow for improved functionality. The slim, sleek frames create great sightlines, and the double glazing will provide ultimate thermal protection. Even in the coldest months, your customers will feel comfortable.

Having had some very difficult and stressful times with other glazing companies over the past few years I was hesitant to deal with this company as I tended to tar all glazing companies with the same brush now. I expressed my concerns to Kamran right from the get go and he bent over backwards to prove that not all glazing companies are the same. He’s right. They’re not. He’s restored my faith!! Anyone who is considering glazing of any kind can rest assured that this is a trustworthy company who will go that extra mile. Refreshing change in this day and age. I’ll be back for sure. 5 stars from me.

We used aluframes for bi-fold doors on our extension and full window replacement as well as internal Crittal doors. Pricing was great compared to other suppliers and their installation team were friendly, polite and left our house spotless. Excellent customer service and delivered on time. Would highly recommend, thank you for making our house a home.

After being let down by a couple of other window companies, I was under serious time constraints and desperate to get a window made quickly. I ordered a window from Aluframes almost expecting the worst. To my joy the window was fabricated and ready for collection within a week. Excellent communication, speed and value. I was so pleased with their service that I placed another order immediately, which were ready in even less time. Would definitely use again
