Bi-folding Doors Recommendations

Recommended Posts

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!

    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
