Bi-folding Doors Recommendations

[brewski]

Hi

Has anyone had any installed recently that they would recommend? There seem to be so many to chose from.

We used these people - very pleased with the product and the service.

We've been going through this recently and have just placed an order for Schuco doors with http://www.totalinstallations.co.uk/ . I can't vouch for them as the doors haven't yet been built, let alone installed! However, to decide on this I went to a Schuco showroom to play with the doors, which is in the Business Design Centre in Islington http://www.businessdesigncentre.co.uk/contact-us (fasinating building - used to be an agricultural hall, like a mini-Earls Court, and now houses lots of random little businesses and showrooms!). We also liked Vufold but they only work if you have a standard size opening and don't want a flush threshold or need trickle vents, and Origin doors, which you can view at the showroom of a company called Cedar Bifolds in Earlsfield http://www.cedarbifoldcompany.com/ .

I felt like I was shopping in the Wild West trying to choose doors on-line, especially given the price, so it was good to be able to go and try them out. The man in the Schuco showroom gave me the telephone number for the area sales manager who then sent me a list of Schuco fabricators in the area and I selected Total Installations from there. If you pm me your email address I will happily forward the list to you (tried to cut and paste but it didn't work as its in an Excel spreadsheet.) It may still turn out I've picked a bad company, but I feel that at least I have found them through some form of formal process (plus I checked out their accounts and they've been going strong since the mid-80's - I'm just a complete geek about things like this!)

I hope that helps. Good luck!

Yes, there are many choices you can choose from. Mainstream can also be a good choice, you may find it some far away, but they are really hardworking and genuine people to deal with.
