Open up your space — home or business

Aluminium bi-fold doors fold neatly to one or both sides so you can open a whole wall to the garden, patio or street. They're the standout choice for extensions and open-plan homes, and for cafés, restaurants and shopfronts that want to bring the outside in on a warm day — then close down to a secure, weathertight, thermally efficient frontage.

We survey, supply and fit bespoke bi-folds to the exact size of your opening, framed in slim, strong aluminium and glazed to your spec. Everything is fitted to the manufacturer's standards and backed by our own 2-year parts & labour warranty — and we repair and service existing bi-folds too.

  • Bespoke supply & installation, made to your opening
  • 2 to 7 panels, folding internally or externally
  • Repairs, re-alignment and servicing of existing bi-folds
  • Matched to your shopfront, windows or extension

Bi-fold configurations

From a compact 2-panel opening to a 7-panel wall of glass, we configure the fold, stack and traffic door to suit how you actually use the space.

2–7 panels

Any number of leaves to span your opening, stacking to one side or splitting to both. Widths up to full-wall spans.

Fold in or out

Leaves fold internally or externally depending on your space and stacking preference.

Traffic door

A single "access" leaf that opens like a normal door for everyday use — without folding the whole set back.

Everyday access

Corner / no post

Wrap two elevations around a corner with a post-free open corner for an uninterrupted view.

Low or rebated threshold

Choose a low threshold for near-flush, step-free access, or a weather-rated rebated threshold for exposed openings.

Accessibility

Internal room dividers

Bi-folds also work indoors — dividing spaces or closing off a room while keeping light flowing through.

Why aluminium bi-folds

Light, space, security & efficiency

More light & views

Slim aluminium frames mean more glass and less frame — flooding the room with daylight and opening up the view.

Open the whole wall

Fold the panels right back to connect inside and out — perfect for entertaining, trading al-fresco or airy showrooms.

Secure by design

PAS24-tested multi-point and shoot-bolt locking — no leaf is a weak point, closed or folded.

Warm & efficient

Thermal-break frames and modern glazing achieve U-values from 1.5 W/m²K — matching quality double glazing.

Weathertight

Tested to BS 6375 for air, water and wind — dependable through a British winter.

Your colour

Standard, dual-colour and textured finishes — powder-coated to last, inside and out.

Which is right?

Bi-fold vs sliding doors

Both are excellent — the right choice depends on how much you want to open up versus how much glass you want when closed. Here's the honest comparison.

FAQs

Aluminium bi-fold doors — your questions

Every job is bespoke — panel count, glazing, finish and site all affect the price — so we don't quote a fixed figure online (you'd only be paying for someone's average). Book a free survey or send photos/drawings and we'll come back fast with a competitive quote we're confident will match or beat any genuine like-for-like quotation.

Anything from 2 to 7 leaves, folding to one side or splitting to both. The right number depends on your opening width and how you want the doors to stack — we'll advise on the survey.

Yes. Our bi-folds are security-tested to PAS24:2016 with multi-point locking on the main leaves and shoot-bolt locks on the floating mullions, so every panel is properly secured.

Modern aluminium bi-folds use a thermal break in the frame and efficient double glazing to achieve U-values from around 1.5 W/m²K — on par with quality double-glazed windows, and a big improvement on older single-glazed or worn sliding doors.

Yes — a low threshold gives near-flush, easy access (great for wheelchairs, prams and level patios). For more exposed openings we can specify a weather-rated rebated threshold instead. We'll recommend the right one for your site.

Standard naturals (White, Black, Anthracite Grey), dual colour (a different shade inside and out), textured Sensations finishes and most RAL colours — all powder-coated for a durable, low-maintenance finish.

Absolutely — as London shopfitters we install bi-folds for cafés, restaurants, retail units and offices as well as home extensions, and can integrate them with a new aluminium shopfront or glazing.

Yes — we realign dropped or sticking doors, replace rollers, hinges, gaskets and locks, and re-seal leaking units on most makes of aluminium bi-fold. Call 0330 113 0393 or email info@rangeshopfronts.co.uk.
