The Standard for
Garden Openings

Bi-fold doors have become the defining feature of open-plan living in the UK. When specified and fitted correctly, they transform the relationship between your kitchen or living space and the garden — removing the barrier entirely when fully open.

Will and Sam have fitted hundreds of bi-fold systems across Surrey and London. They know the common specification mistakes — the systems that draught, the sills that flood, the running gear that stiffens — and they know how to avoid them.

Any RAL Colour — Powder-Coated Aluminium

Aluminium bi-folds are powder-coated to any RAL colour — not just the handful of colours offered by most suppliers. Anthracite grey is by far the most popular, but black, white, sage green, and bespoke RAL options are all available and carry the same long-term finish guarantee.

  • Anthracite Grey (RAL 7016) — our most popular colour
  • Black (RAL 9005) and White (RAL 9010)
  • Any bespoke RAL colour to match your property
  • Powder-coat finish will not chip, fade or peel
  • Internal and external colour can differ if required

Weather-Tight & Thermally Efficient

Aluminium bi-fold doors have a reputation for draughting and condensation if the system is not correctly specified and fitted. We only supply systems with a proper thermal break — an insulating barrier between the inner and outer aluminium sections — and fit every system with correctly adjusted weather seals on all four sides.

  • Thermally broken aluminium — no cold bridging
  • Multi-point locking throughout the system
  • Correctly adjusted compression weather seals
  • Double or triple glazed units as standard
  • 10-year written guarantee from A1 on all installations

FAQs

Bi-Fold Door Questions

How much do aluminium bi-fold doors cost?

Bi-fold door prices vary significantly depending on the number of panels, width of the opening, colour, and glazing spec. A 3-panel system in a standard colour starts from around £2,500 supplied and fitted. We provide a free, written quotation with no obligation — contact us for an accurate price for your specific opening.

Can I open just one panel without folding the whole system?

Yes. We always include a "traffic door" — one panel that opens independently like a standard door. This means you can walk in and out without needing to fold the entire system, which is ideal for everyday use.

Are aluminium bi-fold doors suitable for large openings?

Yes — aluminium is the correct material for large openings. The structural strength of aluminium allows slim sightlines even at wider spans, and the running gear is engineered for smooth operation even on heavy 6-panel systems.

Do bi-fold doors need planning permission?

Replacing existing doors or creating a new opening of a standard size typically falls under permitted development. We assess the position of your opening as part of the free survey and advise on whether any approval is required.

How secure are aluminium bi-fold doors?

Very secure when correctly specified. Every system we fit includes multi-point locking throughout the full height of the door, and the aluminium frames are structurally robust. All panels lock independently as well as through the main system.

How long does bi-fold door installation take?

A standard bi-fold door installation takes one full day. Larger systems or openings requiring structural lintels may require two days. We always leave the site clean and tidy, with full testing of every panel and lock before sign-off.
