Why Choose Aluminium for Bifold Doors?

Aluminium is the ideal material for manufacturing superior bifold doors:

  • Strong and Durable – Aluminium is resilient to the elements and withstands high traffic use over a lifetime of operation.
  • Weatherproof – Aluminium bifold doors achieve exceptional air, wind and water tightness when correctly installed. Thermal breaks minimise conduction for excellent insulation.
  • Low Maintenance – Aluminium does not warp, rot or corrode and never needs repainting. Occasional cleaning is all that is required.
  • Design Versatility – Aluminium can be shaped, folded, extruded and finished in any number of ways. Perfect for innovative bifold door designs.
  • Slim and Light – Aluminium frame and door leaf profiles can be made very slim. Panels are lighter in weight making operation smooth and easy.
  • Recyclable and Sustainable – Environmentally conscious homeowners appreciate that aluminium is 100% recyclable. Manufacturing aluminium has low embodied carbon.

Choosing the Right Aluminium Bifold Doors

There are a few key considerations when selecting aluminium bifold doors for a project:

  • Performance – Check that the doors meet thermal and acoustic insulation standards and are certified by independent organisations like the British Standards Institute (BSI).
  • Hardware – Doors should glide open effortlessly on a smooth roller track system. High-quality hardware is essential for reliable operation over time.
  • Seals – Weather sealing and internally glazed gaskets should make the doors completely draught-proof. Anti-finger trap gaskets increase safety.
  • Security – Multi-point locks that meet PAS 24 standards provide the highest levels of security and resistance to forced entry.
  • Credentials – Reputable bifold door brands will provide extensive product guarantees. Also, look for industry accreditation like ISO 9001 certification.
  • Experience – An experienced manufacturer is invaluable for creating bespoke bifold doors to match your exact specifications. They will also have the technical abilities to fulfil challenging designs.
