Aluminium Bifold Doors

The Express Doors Direct Aluminium Bifold Doors Range

Aluminium bifolding doors allow natural light to flow through your home, creating an uplifting and inviting atmosphere. Unlike French doors, the complete door set can be folded away to open up a large living space.

Bifold doors operate with a lead door (or master door) and a series of intermediate panels that operate on a concealed track. There's a single traffic door that can be used for quick trips in and out, but the beauty of these doors is the smooth operation as they completely open up your home.

Why Choose Aluminium?

Aluminium is a really stable, reliable material. Whilst other door frame materials tend to expand, contract, twist and warp slightly as temperatures and weather conditions change, aluminium is unlikely to do so. This means minor door problems like sticking or drafts are unlikely to occur. You won’t need minor adjustments to keep your aluminium door running perfectly. It’s also extremely secure due to its stability.

On top of this aluminium is exceptionally strong, allowing for minimal, slim sight lines and more glass to maximise light flow into your home. It's also lightweight, allowing effortless operation. Despite being a metal, modern manufacturing processes allow external aluminium bifold doors to be highly energy-efficient too. 

Are aluminium bifold doors better than uPVC?

Aluminium bi folding doors do offer some benefits that uPVC ones don't. Their average lifespan is longer, with some lasting up to 60 years. They're generally more secure than uPVC, and can be just as energy-efficient and easy to maintain. Ultimately, the right bifold door for you will be the one that suits your budget, needs and home.

Are  bifold aluminium doors cold?

As metals are good thermal conductors, they often feel cold to the touch. However, even when it's cold outside, aluminium bifold door systems don't feel cold or make your room chilly. This is because they have a thermal break separating sections inside the frame. This means that the outer frame is protected by an insulating material that's placed inside the frame.

Our Range of Aluminium Bifold Doors

If you’re looking for the door that really does it all, choose an aluminium bifold door system. This door style is top of the range for security, aesthetics, longevity and flexibility. The folding and sliding mechanism allows you to completely open up your door opening, which is something that no other type of patio door can boast.

Our high quality bifold aluminium doors are powder coated with a finish that is guaranteed for 30 years or more. This finish won’t fade or discolour so you never need to think about maintenance again. You can choose from white or grey bifold doors to suit the style of your home.

Security

We’ll keep your home secure with a 7-point multipoint locking system and sturdy aluminium frame. Bending and twisting aluminium to gain access to a property is extremely difficult, so this is the best material for the security conscious. A high security bi fold aluminium door is a great addition to any home. 

All our aluminium folding doors feature double glazing with laminated glass, adding to the safety of the door set.

Energy Efficiency

When it comes to exterior bifold doors, thermal efficiency is crucial. With their low u-values, installing new doors like these could reduce your heating bills. With double glazed panels and thermally broken aluminium, heat loss is reduced. Your bi folding door really doesn't need to be triple glazed to provide great thermal performance, and all our doors are compliant with the current building regulations.
