What height are aluminium bifold doors?

You can expect aluminium bifold doors to be just a bit taller than a standard internal door, usually between 2090mm and 2100mm tall, however we can supply and install doors up to a height of 2500mm! The real difference is in the width of bifold doors, which can vary depending on the number of doors you select.

What colour bifolds can I have?

Homestyle UK Windows work with a huge selection of colours with over 200 available by special order. Our standard bifold door options are black, grey and white gloss.

Are bifold doors made to measure?

Yes. Every home is different, so our bifold doors are manufactured to meet your exact requirements. In fact, we manufacture our own bifold doors from our factory in Ipswich.

Can bifold doors open in or out?

Yes. However, once your bifolds are installed, the opening direction cannot be changed. Many of our customers prefer doors to fold in because when it rains, your floors/carpet won't get wet.

We offer a range of glazing options including double or triple glazing. All of our sealed units consist of Low-E coated glass on the inner pane and low iron on the outer pane. The spacer bar (the frame which holds the glass together) is made with warmedge and then filled with argon gas. This slows the heat transfer across the cavity of the sealed unit, giving extra thermal insulation.

They are fitted with multi-point locking systems which create an excellent barrier against potential intruders.

Do you provide a guarantee?

Yes. We offer a 10-year guarantee on all our products.

Do I need planning permission?

Usually you won’t need planning permission to replace patio or sliding doors. It is worth checking with the local council if you live in a conservation area or listed property.

Can I choose a fixed door option?

Yes. Our bifold doors can operate as a single normal door, with your choice of traffic door.

Can I have blinds inside the glass of my bifold doors?

Yes. Blinds installed between two panes of glass for homes and commercial properties are becoming very popular and come in a variety of colours. They can come with a pull-cord option or magnetic slider. They can even be motorized. We have them in our showroom in Martlesham if you would like to take a look.

Can windows and doors match my bifolds?

Absolutely! We manufacture aluminium windows and doors that can match the colour and style.

Aluminium Bifold

Aluminium Bifold Doors
for Ipswich, Suffolk

The best way to open your home up to the outside is with an aluminium bifold door. Our Prestige aluminium bifold doors are manufactured by our sister company, Tradesupply Windows in Ipswich. They have been manufacturing aluminium since 2014 in their Ipswich factory, allowing us to keep control of what is manufactured and the quality of product we want to install.

Our Prestige aluminium bifold doors offer very little framework, allowing for a larger amount of light to pass into a home as opposed to other types of frames such as uPVC. Our Prestige aluminium bifold doors are also an energy-efficient option with an innovative Thermlock multi-chamber thermal design hidden away inside. These are the perfect doors to fit a wide space leading out to a garden or patio.

This type of door is very popular with its unique Shootbolt & ‘D’ Handle and continuous hinges. The innovative hinge means that there are no bulky or unsightly hinges to disrupt the contemporary sightlines. The door features hardware designed specifically for doors - as opposed to 'window' hardware utilised on some doors of this type. This allows the Crown Bifold Door to not only be securely locked but they could also used as a main entry point as they can be operated from both inside and outside, using our robust & secure Multi-Point Lock.

For more information about our selection of aluminium bifold doors and patio doors or about our door replacement service, we welcome you to contact us today or visit our showroom just outside of Ipswich, Suffolk.
