Project Overview
We supplied and installed a premium aluminium bi-fold door system tailored to the extension opening. As a leading bi-fold door installer across Harpenden and the surrounding Hertfordshire region, we used only the highest-grade materials available. The solution included:
- Four-panel aluminium bi-fold door with ultra-slim profiles (down to 154mm sightlines) for uninterrupted garden views
- Bottom-mounted stainless steel rollers for smooth, quiet folding operation
- Thermally broken profiles for energy efficiency and condensation control
- Low-threshold cill with ultra-low threshold option for step-free garden access
- Multi-point locking system with high-security handles
- Double glazing with low-E coating and argon gas fill
- Toughened safety glass throughout for enhanced security
- Powder-coated finish in dark grey (RAL 7016) to complement the extension’s exterior
- Concealed drop-down seals for superior weatherproofing
- Matching handles and hardware for a unified finish
- 10-year guarantee covering frames, glazing, and workmanship for complete peace of mind
Installation Process
- Conducted precise laser measurement of the extension opening
- Coordinated with the homeowners to confirm configuration and colour selection
- Checked structural lintel and floor levels for proper alignment
- Removed existing French doors and prepared the opening
- Installed steel reinforcement where required for the bi-fold system (supports doors up to 6m wide)
- Lifted aluminium bi-fold door frame into position using precision packers
- Mechanically fixed the frame to the new masonry and timber studwork ensuring zero movement
- Hung each door panel and adjusted bottom rollers for perfect alignment
- Fitted double-glazed sealed units with toughened safety glass into all panels
- Installed multi-point locking mechanism and tested all locking points
- Applied internal and external silicone seals for airtight, watertight finish
- Tested folding and sliding operation across all panels multiple times
- Completed thorough clean of all glass, tracks, frames, and surrounding areas
