With a wide range of styles, colours, finishes and sizes, our market leading aluminium bi-fold doors will add style and make a garden part of the living space.
How can an aluminium bi-fold door save a homeowner money?
Concerns over heating costs are bound to increase as temperatures start to drop. Homeowners are looking for ways to keep their heating bills as low as possible, so with every new build or home improvement project product energy ratings are an important consideration. Bi-fold doors could save a homeowner money by letting natural light and warmth into a home and keeping cold draughts out.
An aluminium bi-fold door can be fitted with double glazing, keeping a home warm and more comfortable in the winter and cooler in summer. Double glazing is the ideal choice to help reduce heating bills, but if homeowners want to boost their energy even further then triple glazing is an option, they do however cost more than double glazing due to the additional pane of glass, but in the long run heating bills will be lower and they are great for sound proofing if noise is an issue.
Thermal performance of an aluminium bi-fold door is measured in terms of U-values. The U-value measures how effective a material is as an insulator and the more slowly heat is transmitted through the material. The lower the U-value, the better the insulation. New modern doors come with a robust thermal break included in the construction of the door – the thermal break prevents conductive thermal loss and separates the interior and exterior of the frames, preventing the conduction of heat energy. Our doors achieve great U-values keeping homes warm whilst meeting current Building Regulations.
Another benefit of aluminium bifold doors is that they’re low maintenance, robust and durable, and unlike timber doors, that require sanding, painting or varnishing, aluminium bi-fold doors will not require money spending on them over the years. Aluminium bi-fold doors are fitted with multipoint locking systems and shootbolts, which are protected by robust aluminium frames that will not crack or twist, keeping homes secure from unwanted intruders.
Bi-fold doors add value to a property as they are the most popular home improvement product on the market today and will certainly add value to any property. The price of bi-fold doors will certainly be paid back when the property is sold.
Aluminium bi-fold doors are a great design feature and certainly will not be losing their popularity anytime soon – just watch an episode of Grand Designs and see for yourself.
