Bi-Folding Doors

Recommended Posts

Hello All,


I'm looking to put some custom sized bi-folding windows into an extension I'm considering. I've seen the bi-folding doors and I guess I'm after the same but window height not door height.

The doors seem somewhat more expensive than the more traditional French patio doors, but would the cost come down if they were window size not door height.

Has anybody had any experience with these bi-folding doors and possibly be able to suggest a reputable company to source custom size ones from?


Hoping you can help.


Thanks

I can recommend SunSeeker Doors who fitted our bifolds and windows 5 or 6 years ago. They measure and manufacture to order and they have examples of bi folding windows on their website http://sunseekerdoors.co.uk/bifolds.html


There is also a blog post about bi folding windows http://sunseekerdoors.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/retractable-windows-images-testimonial.html from an architect who has them.

Hi Clicka


Bi folding doors are an expensive option - be wary of anywhere that tells you it can be done on the cheap. I used a firm called Sunparadise on Eel Pie Island

At the time I was researching my own windows (about 18 months ago) I gathered that the best ones are either Swiss or German made. I think mine are Swiss.

Sorry for resurrecting an older thread, but am in the process of researching bi-fold doors. A can of worms (an aluminimum can). One thing that I noticed so far is that the well-recommended Sun Paradise operation appears to have gone into administration in January, although their web site is still up and running.


Considering foldingdoorshop who appear to get good reviews. They offer Schuco which I gather is a good thing.

Anyone got any experience of them or *genuine* recommendations for others?

DavidQ100,


Glad I read this post


We are building an extension in Wimbledon shortly and I have costed for Sun Paradise. The company I am getting them from here didn't mention it to me at all. Just wondering where you saw the administration details. I am reluctant to install doors that may not have service options due to the company closing.


thanks,

Sun Paradise definitely in administration. I think some of the directors may be using the name under a new company. We still use former Sun Paradise staff to do servicing on doors but they are not attached to any new company. There are some good German companies who supply bi-fold doors that are of similar quality and price to Sun Paradise.

Hi,


I had my bi-fold patio doors done by Crystal Window, just over a year ago and have had no issues.


Price was very competitive; no hard sell... a 6 week turnaround from my first call to full installation (had windows done by them too). A 2 man team worked cleanly throughout the installation. It was a good experience and the doors look great.

Sun paradise defo in administration but resurrected under the name of the folding door company so still producing SP product. I'd go for Schuco.Great quality for the price. Much better than Smart or the foldingslidingdoorcompany.

We used Crystalglazingsolutions to supply and fit. Insurance backed product too.good price and support.

    • Yup. At best I have people who detest Trump shrugging and saying something like “what ya gonna do?” Like that is any kind of answer what we gonna do is condemn, and watch out for same happening here - and watch out for all the handmaidens who would allow this to happen.  Apologists for Farage, Jenrick etc 
    • There are plenty of Jewish people on these marches, who have every right to stand up and say not in our name. A Jewish bloc attends every single one: https://jfjfp.com/voices/jjp-at-the-gaza-demonstrations/ Jewish peoples lives are being made less safe by this war, as we recently saw in Manchester and in the clear increase in antisemitism. They want to see Peace, and this will only happen with justice for the Palestinians. Most have - within living memory - members of their families who have been murdered by an authoritarian regime. They know what they are seeing and why they are marching. Calling going on march 'indulging in Jew hatred' is just ridiculous. You've clearly never been on one. Engage your critical faculties and think about why these marches are being smeared, rather than spouting what the right wing press and home secretary tell you.
    • Thank you for posting that. Chilling.
    • It amazes me how little outrage there actually is. The US is very clearly, and very quickly falling into autocracy. And as noted above, there are an alarming number in the UK who appear to support the direction the US is taking.
