Recent installations ## Bi-fold doors we have installed Overview ## Why choose bi-fold doors A bi-fold door turns a wall into an opening. Folded back, it connects a kitchen or living room to the garden completely; closed, it is a glazed elevation that floods the room with light. It is the single most popular addition to a rear extension, and it is also the product most often let down by poor installation. We supply and install aluminium bi-folds, from a two-leaf set replacing French doors to wide multi-leaf runs across the back of an extension. Aluminium is the right material here: the leaves are large, they are handled constantly, and they need a frame that stays rigid and true under that use. Everything is surveyed against the real opening before manufacture. Leaf count, the stacking direction, the position of the traffic door for everyday use and the threshold detail all get decided with you at survey, because they determine how the door feels to live with. ### Who this is for - Rear extensions and open-plan kitchen-diners - Replacing tired French or patio doors with a full-width opening - Garden rooms, annexes and home offices - New builds where the rear elevation is mostly glass - Trade customers pricing bi-folds from drawings - Anyone who wants a usable single door as well as a full openingThe Adorn Range The Adorn Range is our own product brand. It is the name you will see on your quotation and brochures, whether you are a homeowner or a trade customer having us supply and install. Each product in the range is built on a carefully chosen system, and we will talk you through the options when you enquire. Why it matters ## What happens if it is left alone A bi-fold running on an opening that has moved will bind. The head above a wide opening has to be supported properly, and if it deflects even slightly the leaves stop meeting cleanly and the locking becomes stiff. The wrong threshold causes years of nuisance. A flush threshold looks superb but needs correct drainage detailing on an exposed elevation; a rebated threshold sheds water better but is a trip point if it is chosen without thought. Undersized or poorly maintained running gear is where cheap bi-folds fail. Rollers carry the full weight of each leaf every time the door is used, and once they wear, the whole set drags. ### Common mistakes we are called in to fix - Choosing the leaf configuration on price rather than on how the room is actually used day to day. - Forgetting the traffic door, so the whole set has to be folded back just to step outside. - Ordering before the structural opening is finished and true. - Assuming all bi-folds are the same and comparing quotations on leaf count alone.

Benefits ## What you can expect ### Light all year A glazed run replaces solid wall, so the room stays bright in winter, not just when the doors are open. ### Smooth operation Properly set running gear means leaves that fold with one hand rather than a shove with a shoulder. ### Flexible opening Use the traffic door on a normal day, open a section for a breeze, fold the whole run back for summer. ### Weather sealed Thermally broken aluminium and correctly specified thresholds keep draughts and driving rain out of the room. ### Secure when closed Multi-point locking across the set, with toughened glazing and internally beaded units as standard. ### Backed for ten years The whole installation, not just the product, is covered by our insurance-backed guarantee. In detail ## Bi-fold doors: the detail ### Configurations Bi-folds are described by the number of leaves and the way they stack: for example three leaves folding all one way, or four leaves splitting two and two. The right choice depends on where you want the stack to sit, whether furniture or a corner will foul it and where the traffic door needs to be for everyday use. The traffic door is the leaf that opens on its own like a normal door. Most households use it far more than the full opening, so its position matters more than people expect at the point of ordering. We work through this at survey with the room in front of us. ### Thresholds and levels A low or flush threshold gives the seamless inside-to-outside look, and it is the right choice where there is a patio at the same level with proper drainage in front of it. A rebated threshold sits slightly proud and gives better weather performance on exposed elevations. Neither is automatically correct; it depends on the elevation, the exposure and the finished floor levels. We check the finished floor and external levels at survey so the threshold detail is designed in rather than improvised on installation day. ### Glass and frames Standard specification is toughened double glazing in thermally broken aluminium frames, powder coated in your choice of colour: anthracite grey and black are the most common, but the full range is available, including different colours inside and out. Solar control glazing is worth considering on a south or west-facing elevation, where a large glazed run can make a room uncomfortable in summer. Acoustic and self-cleaning options are also available. ### Supply only for trade Builders and developers can buy bi-folds supply only, quoted from drawings, for collection from our Godstone trade counter or delivery on request. Because the product is unforgiving of a badly prepared opening, we are happy to talk through the structural opening and threshold detail with your team before the order is placed. Questions ## Frequently asked questions ### How much do bi-fold doors cost? Cost depends on the overall width, the number of leaves, the glass and the finish, so we quote each opening individually after a free survey. The quotation covers the doors, fitting, making good and certification rather than the doors alone. ### How wide can a bi-fold run be? Very wide runs are possible in aluminium, but the limit on any given project is set by the structural opening and the support above it. We survey the opening and tell you what it will carry before we quote. ### How long does installation take? A typical domestic set is installed in a day or two once the doors are made, depending on the width, access and the state of the opening. We confirm the expected duration with your quotation. ### Are bi-fold doors secure? Yes, when specified properly. Multi-point locking across the set, toughened and internally beaded glazing and rigid aluminium frames mean a closed bi-fold is as secure as any other external door. ### Are they draughty in winter? A correctly specified thermally broken bi-fold with good seals and the right threshold is not draughty. Most complaints about cold bi-folds trace back to the threshold detail or the installation rather than the product. ### What maintenance do they need? Keep the bottom track clear of grit, wash the frames and glass, and lubricate the running gear occasionally. Grit in the track is the main cause of premature roller wear. ### What guarantee comes with bi-fold doors? All of our installations carry a 10-year comprehensive insurance-backed guarantee underwritten through InstallSure. FENSA certification is provided for installations as applicable. Trade supply-only is not FENSA-certified. ### Is the survey really free? Yes. The survey is free and carries no obligation. We measure, discuss the options and send a written quotation; if it is not for you, that is the end of it. ### Which areas do you cover?
