Enable Modern Living

Bifolding and sliding doors have fast become one of the most popular renovations that we are asked for. They offer a mix of eye-catching aesthetics and unrivalled performance levels. They keep homes warm and secure while maximising the visual appeal and enabling modern living styles to be achieved even in the most confined of spaces. 

Removing expanses of brickwork from the back of your house to replace with a stunning glass backdrop is a big project which must be carried out to strict structural standards and specifications.

The project will need to be signed off by your local authority or authorised third party, and all the utilities affected must also be made safe to approved standards.

The Harveys team will take care of all these aspects for you ensuring that your project will go smoothly and all requirements will be met.

Benefits Aluminium Bifold & Sliding Doors

Benefits

Renowned for its perfect combination of light weight and high strength, aluminium is the ideal material for sliding and folding doors, providing slim, elegant designs and outstanding performance. With a life-span measured in decades rather than years, together with extremely low maintenance requirements, aluminium has become the perfect choice for home owners. All our systems are designed with performance, looks and efficiency in mind, with each frame incorporating a ‘thermal-break’ to insulate doors against heat loss, raise the internal temperature of a house and help reduce the risk of condensation. Maintenance for aluminium systems is simple and straightforward, with a routine ‘wipe-clean’ all that is required to keep the products looking their best. With no requirement for re-painting or re-varnishing, aluminium windows and doors will never fade, deteriorate or rust.

How Do Bifolding Doors Work?

Aluminium bifold doors operate using a concertina folding motion, neatly folding either inwards or outwards, at either end of the framework when opened fully. There also options that allow for the installation to fold open from the middle in two directions giving a central opening. As a result, they allow for incredible sight lines when fully opened, allowing for effortless entrance and exit between indoor and outdoor spaces. A traditional single door can be incorporated if needed to allow ease of access without opening the whole structure.

What's great about Aluminium Sliders?

Our new state of the art sliding aluminium doors are now available for your home improvement project.

These doors are available in both slide and lift and slide only versions. They offer the ideal solution for enclosing large spans with secure, thermally efficient glass bringing the outside in, or the inside out in a visually stunning upgrade to your home and revolutionising the way you use your garden and home all year round.

Available in a range of colour options – including dual colour and wood effect finishes, you can customise these doors to complement your existing interior and exterior decor.

These doors can be built up to 2.5m wide and 3m high per leaf and can open in multiple ways allowing you to blur the line between house and garden in a seamless and stylish way. In the summer you can open your kitchen onto your patio for the ultimate Barbecue venue or hunker down in a squishy sofa with a massive hot chocolate looking out at the snow during the Winter months.

They offer an ultra-modern look with minimal aluminium sight lines and maximum glazed areas, giving bright and comfortable living space with superior thermal and acoustic performance.

Design Options

Range Of Configurations

Our aluminium sliding doors are available in a range of configurations with double or triple tracks for 2,3 or 4 pane options, allowing the panes to slide and stack up behind each other. These doors give the maximum in sight lines when closed. The slimline aluminium complements this design, delivering excellent visual appeal and  discreet hardware is offered to complement this feature.

LOW MAINTENANCE
Weather Resistant Bifolding Doors

 Weather Resistant

Multiple weather resistant seals and thermally efficient glazing gives you maximum protection against the elements while you enjoy the view, and the high security locking mechanisms (including security deadlock and hook bolts) are designed to give you peace of mind. Stainless steel wheels ensure a smooth operation, and all doors are individually designed and manufactured to suit your specific needs, including the option of a range of dual colours so you can match a range of interior and exterior finishes.

Versatile

Our aluminium doors are as versatile as they are high performance. They can be installed as part of a home’s existing architecture or alongside the building of a bespoke Harveys orangery or house extension. The structural integrity of the profile allows them to be used to open up large areas without compromising on structural integrity or home security.

These doors to keep looking good and working well for at least 10 years

Bifold door projects quite often involve brickwork removal to widen the aperture across a building – this will involve local council building inspectors and a lintel to go across the top to give structural integrity – but don’t worry Harveys will take care of all of that for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum height and width for a bifold door?

The maximum leaf height is 2600mm with 1200mm width, although in some situations they can go up to 3000mm maximum height. The site design wind load that the doors are subjected to will influence the maximum height and width [per panel] to which the doors can be manufactured.

What is floating mullion on a bifold door?

Floating mullions are used for aluminium sliding or bifold doors when the number of door panels is even (2,4,6) and they all slide/fold in one direction. The floating mullion adds an extra aluminium profile and sight line to the locking side of the door.  

What is a floating corner on a bifold door?

A floating corner is a popular feature in new-build properties or extensions where the ceiling has been reinforced to allow a completely open corner, usually a kitchen or reception room. With no corner pillar, the bifold can be installed with a floating corner post, which opens fully from the corner to both sides. This feature still delivers all the safety and security you would expect from a bifold door, while giving you uninterrupted views and that popular outside-in living.

How secure are bifold doors?

In addition to the inherent strength of aluminium, our bifold doors combine security hinges and multi-point locking systems with heavy duty rollers to provide security. Our bifold doors are tested to PAS 24, the industry standard in security, and certified under the Secured By Design scheme.

What is the difference between aluminium bifold doors versus sliding doors?

Both are used to open up inside spaces and make the most of external views. Bifold doors fold open in a concertina motion, and remain stacked at one or both sides of the opening. Sliding doors slide open using rails. With less frames, they bring in more light and panoramic views, while the actual opening itself is smaller than that of a bifold door. The choice depends on the style of property and the use of the room itself.
