DESIGN AND MATERIALS

Bi-fold doors come in various designs and materials to suit different tastes and requirements. At Perth Window and Door we create aluminium bifold doors which we believe are a top choice for their robustness and low maintenance, ensuring they remain in excellent condition with minimal effort.

These doors can be configured with anywhere from three to eight panels, depending on the size of your opening, and can be designed to open outwards from either the left or right side. The door panels are typically made of clear glass, maximising natural light and offering unobstructed views of the outdoors.

CUSTOMISATION AND INSTALLATION

One of the key advantages of bi-fold doors is their customisation potential. Depending on your specific needs, they can be tailored to open outwards or inwards or even as sliding doors. Additionally, various hardware options, including hinges, rollers, and locking systems, can be selected to enhance functionality and security.

Bi-fold doors can also be integrated with other door systems, such as sliding doors or hinged doors, to create a unique and practical entrance. For the best results, professional installation is recommended to ensure that your bi-fold doors are fitted correctly and operate smoothly.

QUALITY AND DURABILITY

When it comes to bi-fold doors, quality and durability are paramount. High-quality bifold doors are constructed from robust materials like aluminium and timber, designed to withstand the elements and provide long-lasting performance.

These doors are also equipped with secure locking systems and sturdy door panels to ensure safety and peace of mind. Choosing quality bifold doors means investing in a product that will not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your home but also stand the test of time with minimal maintenance.

  • Closing: When closing, repeat the process to ensure the correct positioning of the bolts into the frame at the head and sill.

OPEN-IN BI-FOLD DOORS
