Bi-Folding Doors

Low Maintenance - Not a bit of painting and only a bit of maintenance will be necessary due to our bi-folding doors being made from the highest grade aluminium. The frames won’t scratch and you won’t see the coloured finish gradually fade away. Maintenance solely consists of wiping the framework with a wet cloth every few months to make it sparkle. The running system our bi-folds glide across is also concealed to stop the weather interfering with it.

Easy Glide System - At the bottom of each door section is a solid aluminium carriage where the four wheels run along inside a low threshold track. Each wheel is made from a resilient nylon material that can resist degradation. These wheels spin around a hardened stainless steel shaft on its own set of bearings along a stainless steel track.

Low Level Threshold - You can have equal floor finishes inside and out – weathered and non-weathered. They’ll create a stunning effect and it practically gives you one space out of two.

Don’t be put off when we tell you that our 2 pane bi-folding door can only be configured in one way. We can manufacture it to either open-out or open-in. Being able to install such a compact bi-fold should be music to your ears if you want to connect an area of your home to a conservatory or orangery, but only have a limited amount of space to do it.

Practical - For practicality reasons, a set of bi-folding doors make sense as they’ll provide you with a form of accessibility that you don’t currently have indoors.

Effortless - You can put in minimal effort to get bi-folding doors moving from one side of the tracking system to the other. They’re so lightweight and they glide along when you give them a very gentle push. The ease with which they can be opened and closed comes in handy when you want to make a speedy exit.

Contemporary - We’re not exaggerating when we claim that bi-folding doors will completely transform your home and how you live your life within it. You won’t know how you coped without them in the first place and you will be so appreciative of the extraordinary view they provide when you look outdoors.

Sitting right at the heart of our bi-folding doors is a multi-point locking system. As soon as it is engaged, there is absolutely no shifting the doors open. There is also a lock keep to ensure the door sash remains firmly fixed into the door frame.

The double glazed and triple units we put into the bi-folding door frames are as robust as this locking system. We internal bead them to prevent their removal from anywhere but the inside of the house. Intruders also need to negotiate their way through the cylinder locks, and there’s little chance of them having any luck.

The various different configurations of a bi-folding door require certain types of handle. 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 uses 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

There isn’t just a multitude of configuration options for our bi-folding doors. They can also be finished in countless different colours, including one of our sublimated woodgrain finishes of Rosewood, Walnut or Oak. We also have an array of powder-coated finishes available. If you end up being torn between two colours, you can always have a dual-finish, with one colour on the outside, and the other colour on the outside, that way you get the best of both worlds.

Woodgrain Finishes

Make sure your bi-folds don’t look out of place against any existing windows and doors. If they have a wood effect, you can match it with one of our sublimated woodgrain finishes. You won’t believe how authentic they look when reproduced on the aluminium frames, and the same goes for the powder-coated colours too. To give you peace of mind, a lifetime guarantee is supplied with all bi-folding doors sold at Trent Valley Windows.
