Benefits of Our Folding Door Range
Here are some advantages of choosing from our range of folding doors:
Heat loss prevention: Folding door systems can help reduce heat loss within large rooms, making them a practical choice for open-plan living areas, conservatories, or dining spaces where heat retention is crucial.
Noise reduction functionality: They reduce sounds from washing machines, dishwashers, or other kitchen appliances, creating quieter living and dining areas.
Versatility: Flush, panelled, and glass doors add a significant degree of versatility to your home, opening rooms for social gatherings or closing them off to provide privacy.
Minimal decoration work: Numerous doors are prefinished and won’t require any further decoration.
Eco-friendly: If being environmentally friendly is important to you, we can confirm which of our wooden doors are FSC-certified. This registration ensures a secure chain of custody, guaranteeing the controlled sourcing of materials.
FAQs about Our Folding Doors
Before ordering online, take a look at these important questions and answers:
Do You Install Folding Doors?
No. Unfortunately, we don’t provide installation services. However, we can help you choose the ideal set of folding doors for a price that suits your budget and fitting requirements.
With decades of experience as a folding door supplier, we can advise you on the best options for your specific situation. What we’ve learned more than most is that the right choice of doors comes down to quality and style, rather than price.
What Sizes Do Your Folding Doors Come in?
Our stylish folding door systems come in a variety of sizes, depending on the type of door:
We offer standard internal bifold doors with set sizes starting at 1827mm wide and 2090mm high, all the way up to our bespoke bifolding sliding doors, which can be as wide as 5000mm (5 meters) and 2400mm high.
Exterior folding doors are available in 3-door options, with sizes ranging from 1790 to 2390mm in width and 2090mm in height.
Our Thrufold frames are available in three main individual door widths: 686 mm, 762mm, and 838mm. When you combine these sizes with all the configurations, you have 21 folding door widths, ranging from 1445mm to 5115mm in width.
What Measuring and Fitting Information Should I Know?
All of the internal bifold door (single doors) sizes quoted are to suit "openings" of that size. The folding door kits are always smaller by about 10mm to 15mm in width and 35mm to 40mm in height, allowing for the addition of the track, which is placed above the sliding door set. These clearances allow the correct operation of the bifold track, hung system, and associated hinge pins.

Please don’t arrange any tradesmen until the goods have arrived, been checked over for damage, and are suitable for installation as you intended. Courier delays due to illness, traffic issues or product damage can also impact your arrangements. Wood products will have a naturally occurring grain pattern, which will vary regardless of the veneer type. This is the beauty of wood. We cannot be held liable for any consequential costs should you arrange an early installation, the courier be delayed, or the grain be wavy/straight and not to your liking.
