In-House Manufactured Bifold Doors
We have been expert manufacturers of aluminium bifold doors for many years and have perfected the craft behind supplying these contemporary external bifold patio doors to our trade partners. Our new bifold doors system is manufactured using the slimline Visofold 1000 slim system from our long-standing aluminium extruder Smart Systems. Through our dedicated delivery service, the British trade continue to rely upon Quickslide for the perfect blend of high-quality product and service.
Light & High Quality Materials for Bifold Doors
Aluminium is a genuine long-life product. The robust profile is designed to give strength and durability, to ensure a structurally sound product that requires minimal maintenance. Due to the strength of the metal, our new aluminium bifold doors system features sightlines of around 122mm using slim frames that are robust enough to carry large double-glazed units. These units allow for an influx of light into the home.
Aluminium Bifold Doors Designs
These beautifully designed, versatile patio doors are suitable wherever a transformation is required. Homeowners can choose between a large variety of door configurations ranging from two panels to eight panels with square sashes. Whatever the specification, the homeowner will enjoy ease of access between two spaces, with the door leaves folding neatly at the end. Our new, slimmer bifold doors system allows for larger uninterrupted openings, providing a stunning appeal for any home.

Our Range of Colour Options

Thermal Efficiency

Homeowners can rest assured that our aluminium bifold doors have some of the most effective locking systems available. Our comprehensive PAS 24 upgrade includes a large range of enhanced features, such as anti lift blocks and high security cylinders for true safeguarding.

Which system do you use for your bi-fold doors?
From September 2023 we’ve switched to a new slim bi-fold doors system ‘Visofold 1000 Slim’ featuring the innovative Quick-Glaze Bead with integrated gaskets that are simply tapped-in on site – an installer’s dream! This new system also features slimmer sightlines and a contemporary square sash in place of the outdated rounded sash.
Do you offer a low threshold option for your bifold doors?
Yes, we offer different threshold options including a low threshold and a low threshold with ramps, which helps to create a seamless transition between the indoors and outdoors. With the addition of the ramps the threshold will comply with Part M of the Building Regulation (DV174).
Which is better: bifold doors or sliding patio doors?
It really comes down to the opening and your preference. If you want a spectacular uninterrupted opening on to a fine patio and/or sculpted gardens, then you should consider a bifold door.
A great choice for superb uninterrupted views all year round is sliding doors. They use more glass and less frame. Considering the British summer weather, the doors will spend just as many days closed as open.
What is a bifold door?
Bifold doors are a versatile solution perfect for almost any home. Choose from a variety of door configurations ranging from two panels to eight panels with multiple profile options. Whatever the specification, enjoy ease of access between indoors and out, with the door panels folding neatly at the end.
How much do aluminium bifold doors cost?
As each bifold door is bespoke and made to your exact specifications, it’s difficult to provide a general price. You can request a price for a set of bifold doors here on our website. If you require a full-service including survey and installation, you can enquire a price via one of our stockists. Use our ‘Find an Installer’ tool for the latter.
What sizes do bifold doors come in?
Bifold doors can be manufactured in a range of sizes, designed to fit the space available in your home. Each panel has a minimum width of 550mm & minimum height of 1200mm, and a maximum width of 1200mm & maximum height of 2500mm. Whether your space is large or small, we can manufacture a bifold to fit, whether you’re looking for two panels or eight.
