Versatile Folding Door Configurations

Folding doors change how you use your living space, giving you the power to open up or separate rooms easily. Choosing the right layout depends on:

• Room size

• Furniture placement

• Daily movement through your home

Want to maximise space? These bi-fold layout options work well in modern homes, featuring panels that fold together in tight pairs to keep the walkthrough clear:

• Bi-folding door: This classic 2-panel system offers smooth functionality, gliding out of the way to instantly connect two areas.

• 2+0 internal bi-fold door: Both panels fold neatly to one single side, making it easy to maximise your usable floor space.

• 2+2 internal bi-fold door: A balanced setup where two panels fold left and two fold right, creating a central opening that frames your room perfectly.

Our multi-fold systems use longer tracks to accommodate wider openings, with the numbers telling you exactly how the system divides. For example:

• 2+1 Folding door: Two panels fold to one side while a single separate door swings open the other way for quick, easy access.

• 3+0 Folding door: All three panels slide and stack to one side, completely clearing the opening to match the flow of an open-plan home.

• 3+1 Folding door: Three panels stack together on one side, leaving a single lead door on the opposite side that operates just like a standard pass door.

• 3+2 Folding door: A split system where three panels fold to one side and two fold to the other, evenly distributing the stacked weight.

• 3+3 Folding door: This symmetrical layout sends three panels to the left and three to the right, opening from the centre for a grand, wide view.

• 4+0 Folding door: Four full panels slide and stack together to one side, keeping the opposite wall completely clear for furniture.

• 4+1 Folding door: Four panels stack out of the way on one side, while a single daily door on the other side offers effortless convenience.

• 4+2 Folding door: A practical division that sends four panels left and two panels right to suit wide rooms with uneven wall space.

• 4+3 Folding door: Features seven panels in total, split into a group of four and three, offering an adaptable opening for expansive layouts.

• 4+4 Folding door: Four panels stack to the left and four stack to the right, delivering maximum width and a balanced look for large extensions.

Expert tip: Choosing a configuration with an odd number on one side gives you a dedicated “Daily Access Door.” This lets you use a single panel as a standard door for daily traffic or pets, without unlocking and folding the whole system back.

Quality Construction & Finishes 

The internal build of a folding door dictates its:

• Weight

• Acoustic insulation

• Feel in your hand

Matching the right internal core to your budget and room usage ensures your tracks glide smoothly and your living space stays comfortable. Our selection includes three distinct core types designed for different parts of the home:

• Solid core: Built with dense internal materials, these heavy-duty doors dampen sound and provide a premium, sturdy weight that feels substantial when closing off a room.

• Semi-solid core: A clever middle ground that uses strategic internal framing to reduce weight while keeping the panel rigid, stable and completely flat over time.

• Hollow-core: Budget-friendly, lightweight doors featuring a cellular inner structure, making them incredibly easy to install and highly suitable for areas where heavy soundproofing isn't a priority.

A folding door’s finish adds an essential final touch, defining your room's look and the amount of work you'll need to do upon delivery. Our collection covers every project requirement, whether you want a door that’s ready to hang immediately or one you can customise yourself:

• Prefinished folding doors: Arrive fully factory-treated, allowing you to install them straight away without the mess of onsite painting or staining.

• White primed: Sanded and base-coated at the factory, these are ready for a quick final topcoat, saving you hours of prep work while ensuring a smooth finish.

• Laminated: Engineered for durability, these high-quality surfaces provide a consistent, hard-wearing texture that’s easy to clean and requires zero ongoing maintenance.

• Unfinished: Perfect for exact colour matching, these raw timber surfaces give you complete creative control to apply your own oils, waxes or stains.

Various Woods & Colours

Our folding doors are at the forefront of popular design trends, ensuring everyone finds their perfect match: 

• Wood veneers: Finished in real wood veneers, these folding doors include popular options such as warm oak and rich walnut. 

• Coloured folding doors: We offer a range of paint colours, including light grey, dark grey, black or white, giving you the flexibility to match your existing architraves, flooring or furniture.

 Door Types & Glazing Options

Clean flush finishes are ideal for sleek, modern homes, while a classic panelled style adds depth and detail to more traditional interiors. Glazed options help flood rooms with natural light, brightening hallways to enhance the flow of your home. 

 We use toughened safety glass in all of our internal door panels, in compliance with British safety standards. Explore a wide variety of glazing options to suit different needs: 

• Clear to maximise natural light flow

• Bevelled for a decorative finish

• Frosted to enhance privacy

• Designer with unique patterns

• Reeded for a textured look

• Tinted for subtle shading and sun control

Note: While tinted and reeded glass offer distinct textures and natural light control, please remember they aren't privacy glass and remain fully transparent.

Our diverse collection includes several distinct styles and opening mechanisms to match your home’s specific architecture and your personal taste.

What essential benefits do folding doors offer? 

The advantages of choosing folding doors don’t stop at saving space. These doors also provide a practical way to open up your living spaces, connect rooms or create flexible partitions that allow easy movement. 

The range of benefits our folding doors can bring to your property includes:

• Heat loss prevention: Folding door systems can help reduce heat loss within large rooms. 

• Noise reduction: They create quieter living and dining areas by blocking sound from washing machines, dishwashers and other kitchen appliances. 

• Versatile functionality: Flush, panelled, and glass doors add a significant degree of flexibility to your home, opening rooms for social gatherings or closing them off for complete privacy.

•  Instant finishes: Choose from our pre-finished range to avoid the mess and time of decorating once your internal bifold doors are installed. 

• Eco-friendly: We can confirm which wooden doors are FSC-certified, guaranteeing that all materials are sourced from responsibly managed forests. 

What are the space requirements for folding doors? 

Our stylish folding door systems are designed to fit a vast range of openings, from narrow cupboards to expansive room dividers. To ensure smooth, snag-free operation, it’s important to understand how we calculate these dimensions.

How we calculate opening sizes:

All quoted sizes refer to the total wall opening rather than the individual door leaves. The actual door kits are manufactured slightly smaller, roughly 10 mm - 15 mm in width and 35 mm - 40 mm in height. 

This essential clearance provides the room needed for the overhead track and hinge pins to function properly without sticking.

We offer a variety of sizes to suit every home:

• Small (1981 mm x 686 mm - 2084 mm x 1749 mm): Ideal for standard single openings where you want to save floor space.

• Medium (2084 mm x 2134 mm - 2084 mm x 2590 mm): These bridge the gap between rooms, often using bifold doors to create a wider, more accessible walkthrough.

• Large (2084 mm x 2592 mm - 2084 mm x 3514 mm): Perfect for transforming your living space with multi-door configurations that open entire walls to improve light flow.

• Extra large (2084 mm x 3894 mm - 2084 mm x 4274 mm): Our most expansive systems, designed to replace heavy internal walls with flexible room transitions.
