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
