What are bi-folding doors?
Bi-folding doors are doors made up of panels that fold against the wall in parts. They are usually found on the rear of the house leading to a patio or garden but can just as well be used for a terrace or a balcony. These doors are simple to open and close thanks to the sliding track that the framed glass panels are placed upon. The door panels effortlessly stack up on one side with a concertina style fold, allowing you larger indoor living space. Unlike patio doors which remain half-open, bi-folding doors open fully, allowing a seamless connection with the outdoors.
Why choose bi-folding doors?
The strength of aluminium allows it to support the larger panes of glass even with slimmer frames, giving you a stunning unrestricted view of your garden. The brilliance of these doors is that they give the illusion of a larger room whilst offering an entertaining view. Bi-folding doors will play a focal point in every garden party thanks to their pleasing aesthetics and the sash folding feature which is admired by so many. The sashes on bi-folding doors can fold both internally and externally. You can fold all the sashes to either side, leaving you with a single large door. However, a more stunning feature of bi-folding doors is the ability to create a double door, which can be done by folding all the sashes into the middle. Bi-folding doors can create a glazed screen that allows maximum light during the colder months and can easily glide to open up an entire wall during the warmer months. You can opt for low thresholds for unimpeded, easy access, or rebated thresholds for improved weather resistance. The choices are endless!
Made in a bespoke way
With New Look Double Glazing’s bi-folding doors, every detail is designed to your liking. You can choose the number of panels, from as little as 2, to as most as 7. You can also choose the direction of opening and if you choose an odd number of panels i.e. 3, 5, or 7, you can include a primary door for ease of access. If you choose an even number of panels, a primary door is not as important, but you can still opt for one. In this case, the primary door will slide in one direction and the remaining doors will fold towards the opposite side. You can also choose the colour that perfectly matches your property from our wide range of options. This will be coated with powder-coat to ensure that the vibrancy of the colour does not fade away.
Extremely secure
Aluminium is an inherently strong material, capable of withstanding extreme force, so you can rest assured that our bi-folding doors will not fail you against unwanted intruders and forced entry. As is the case with all our products, our bi-folding doors are fitted with advanced multi-point locks on the main opening sashes to ensure your safety, the safety of your family and your possessions. We have also fitted shoot-bolt locking on floating mullions. The primary door is equipped with a Yale 3-star cylinder lock. We have designed the glass and door frame to withstand immense force with robust hinges and internal glazing beads which prevents the glass from being from removed from the outside.
Strong
Despite aluminium’s lightweight and ultra-thin frame, it is an inherently strong material, giving you a robust and stylish door. The significant strength of aluminium will protect your property against intruders. New Look Double Glazing’s advanced manufacturing means that our aluminium doors are capable of enduring extreme weathers. They deliver the perfect combination of strength and performance.
Thermally efficient
Our bi-folding doors feature a polyamide thermal break that is extremely effective in keeping the cold out and the heat in. The large panes of glass will allow the natural light and heat of the sun to stream into your property, helping you to save on both light and heating bills. The inherent insulation capabilities of aluminium as well as our advanced manufacturing also enhanced the thermal capabilities of bi-folding doors. With optimum levels of insulation, New Look Double Glazing’s bi-folding doors will keep you protected from all types of weather and will keep your property at a comfortable temperature all year round. Although these doors are ideal for summer, they will not let you down during winter thanks to their excellent thermal qualities. The tightly fitted frames and high-quality glazing will ensure that cold spots do not enter your property, making these doors extremely weatherproof.
Safe
Our bi-folding doors are fitted with a child safety system to prevent any trapped fingers. We have also fitted strong magnetic pads, so when the panels and folded on to each other, they are firmly held in place.
Noise reduction
We design our aluminium bi-folding doors using advanced contemporary technology. A key benefit of this is the noise reduction in your property. Therefore, if you do not wish for external sound to disturb your peace when relaxing or working at home, our aluminium bi-folding doors are the right choice for you.
