Bi-Fold Frame

Bi-Fold hardware
Our Bi-Fold Door Handles come in a range of colours to suit your home, they’re built to last with robust materials and quality finishes.
Bi-Fold Easy Glide System
The sliding operation of a bi-folding door relies on a high-quality stainless-steel track on which quad rollers, which are fitted to the door leafs, glide along in elegant fashion. The same quad rollers are fitted with a small brush on one end to keep the tracks free of dust and dirt.
Bi-Fold Low Threshold
Low level thresholds increase the ease of access for everyone involved. An optional outer and inner ramp can be added on to the threshold to further enhance the accessibility for wheelchair users.
Create your bespoke bi-folding door
There are countless ways to make our captivating bi-folding doors your own. Once we have your input on your chosen final touches, we can start on the design and manufacturing stage.
Our colour options have won a legion of fans...
If you thought we offer a generous number of configurations for our bi-folding doors, just wait until you see how many coloured finishes there are available. Along with our famous powder-coating finishes, we can also supply you with three sublimated woodgrain finishes in Walnut, Rosewood or Oak. We should also make you aware that you can have a dual-coloured finish if you want different colours on either side of the aluminium framework.
The handles should be considered more than just a minor detail...
Generally, three types of handle are affixed to our bi-folding doors, no matter how they’re configured. Pass doors and integrated French doors will require a master handle which will house a cylinder lock, and will be used to engage the multi-point locking system when the bi-fold door is in the closed position.
Each bi-folding section will also entail the use of both a D-handle and an intermediate handle. The latter is used to release the folding panes from the door frame when opening and, of course, re-engage them when closing. A D-handle is used to push or pull the folding panes as appropriate. Within our hardware range we offer both contemporary and traditional master handles which are colour matched by the intermediate and D-handles.

Will bi-folding doors add value to my home?
Bi-folding doors have the potential to add significant value to your home.
These doors are highly sought after for their ability to seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor spaces, creating a modern and open living environment. The increased natural light and the illusion of larger spaces will likely make your home more appealing to potential buyers.
Bi-folding doors also offer a stylish and contemporary aesthetic that can enhance the overall kerb appeal of your property. The versatility and functionality they bring, by allowing you to effortlessly merge your indoor and outdoor living areas, can be a strong selling point.
Adding bi-folding doors can enhance both the visual appeal and practicality of your home, potentially increasing its market value due to their sought-after features and benefits.
What is a bi-folding door?
A bi-folding door is a type of door made up of multiple individual panels that are hinged together in a concertina-like arrangement. These panels fold in on themselves, allowing the door to be fully opened by sliding each panel to one side, creating a wide and seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. Bi-folding doors are often designed with large glass panels, maximising natural light, and offering unobstructed views.
These doors are highly versatile and are commonly used to connect living spaces with patios, decks, gardens, or other outdoor areas. They provide a modern and stylish way to create an open and airy atmosphere, blurring the boundaries between the interior and exterior.
How do you open a bi-fold door?
Opening and closing our bi-folding doors is easy.
Opening a bi-fold door involves sliding the individual panels in a folding motion to create a wide opening. The panels are connected by hinges and are designed to fold in a concertina-like manner. When you open a bi-fold door, you start by sliding the first panel along a track, causing the panels to fold and stack neatly against each other.
Bi-fold doors are typically equipped with handles on the panels to provide a firm grip for sliding and folding. The handle options vary, ranging from traditional to modern handles.
Once fully opened, the stacked panels are pushed to the side and neatly folded against the wall or a designated stacking area. This stacking arrangement ensures that the panels take up minimal space and do not obstruct the opening. Bi-fold doors are favoured for their ability to create a wide, unobstructed entryway while maintaining a sleek appearance when fully opened.
Are bi-folding doors accessible?
Bi-folding doors are designed with accessibility in mind.
Bi-folding doors offer ease of use and often feature a low threshold. Their mechanism allows for smooth and effortless opening, making them user-friendly for people of various ages and strengths. The individual panels of bi-fold doors are lightweight and glide along tracks, requiring minimal effort to slide and fold.
Additionally, many bi-fold door designs incorporate a low threshold option. A low threshold reduces the height difference between the interior and exterior floor levels, creating a seamless transition that is accommodating to wheelchair users, those with limited mobility, and even children. This feature enhances the accessibility of bi-fold doors and ensures that everyone can enjoy the convenience and aesthetic benefits they offer.
