Bi-Folding Doors

The good news is there’s no wrong decision to be made here. In fact, you could even pick both. Where our Eclipse Aluminium range offers unmatched solidity, Extreme UPVC offers supremely exceptional value for money and super-easy maintenance. Where both ranges offer equally exquisite styling options, the slimline frames of Eclipse Aluminium allows for extra emphasis to be placed firmly on glazing, allowing extra light and warmth to enter your home.

Low Maintenance – To avoid you needing to continuously maintain your bi-folding doors, we have strayed away from using standard aluminium to build them and have instead manufactured the doors with a high-grade aluminium. This high-grade aluminium is scratch and fade-resistant, so when the finish gets covered in dirt, you only have to get a wet cloth to wipe the frames down and make it clean again. We have concealed the runner to stop it from getting obstructed.

Easy Glide System – At the bottom of each door leaf, there is a solid aluminium carriage, which is where the four wheels are housed. The wheels are all made from a high resilient nylon material, so there is no possibility of any degradation happening. They rotate around a hardened stainless-steel shaft on its own set of bearings along a stainless-steel track.

Low Level Threshold – For a faultless finish on the inside and outside, use one of our two low level thresholds, either weathered or non-weathered. Doing so will help you create one space out of two.

It isn’t necessary to have a wealth of space to own a bi-folding door as our 2-pane bi-folding door is beautifully compact. It could be used as a connecting point to your garden from a conservatory or orangery or you could have it separate your extension from the rest of the house so that the extension has its individual identity, different from elsewhere in the property.

Practical – It makes perfect practical sense to have bi-folding doors somewhere within your home, whether it be in your extension or some other location. They will prove to be integral to your home living.

Effortless – You wouldn’t think that even the largest bi-folding doors would be so easy to operate. You hardly have to put in any effort to make the collection of door leafs fold and shift from one side to the other. They almost feel like they are floating.

Contemporary – Having bi-folding doors fitted in your home has become the fashionable thing to do. They look so classy and they work in a classy fashion too. There will never come a point when you grow tired of seeing them or feeling them in action, in fact, your fondness for them will just grow and grow.

Not only do our replacement front and rear doors have multi-point locking mechanisms, but our bi-folding doors have them too. When you turn the key, the lock engages at various points and in various directions into a tough lock keep, which keeps the door sash rigidly fixed to the door frame.

It’s up to you whether your new bi-folding doors come supplied with double or triple glazed units. Cylinder locks are also placed inside the high-security master handles to guard them against thieves.

Anyone thinking of buying a bi-folding door from Speedy Home Improvements will be presented with three possible types of handle. With any pass doors and integrated French doors, you will need a master handle which will accommodate a cylinder lock and help to engage the multi-point locking system when the bi-folding door is closed shut.

Each individual section of a bi-folding door needs a D-handle and intermediate handle. The D-handle releases the folding panes from the door frame when it’s being opened and re-engages them upon closing. A D-handle is used to push or pull the folding panes as appropriate. We offer several modern and traditional master handles in our hardware suite, colour-matched to the intermediate and D-handles.

If you thought there were a lot of potential configurations for our bi-folding doors, just wait until you discover how many possible coloured finishes there are for them. To apply most of the finishes, we powder-coat them onto the aluminium framework, though we do also specialise in aluminium woodgrains for those who love the appearance of Walnut, Rosewood and Oak and want to imitate a timber effect. Both sides of the bi-folding door can be finished in either the same colour or a contrasting colour.

Woodgrain Finishes - It’s often the case that a householder will request a woodgrain finish for their bi-folding doors to ensure they complement any current windows and doors they have. We might be biased, but we don’t believe you will find a more believable set of woodgrains anywhere else. And though they are reminiscent of timber-based finishes, they need a tiny fraction of the maintenance.
