UPVC Bifold Doors

What Are uPVC Bifold Doors?

uPVC bifolding doors are folding sliding doors made of a type of plastic (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride, to give it its full name) that’s been widely used for doors and windows for years. Bifold doors are doors which fold back on themselves like a concertina and slide along a track.

They’re ideal for both internal and external use as they can open up your living space beautifully, but also act as a divider between spaces when closed. External bifold doors let you open up entire walls of your home and really bring the outdoors in. And when closed, the large glass panels let you enjoy fantastic views of your garden or patio.

Like all our bifold patio door systems, our uPVC folding sliding doors feature a daily access door, so that you don’t need to open them up fully whenever you use them. Just open the single panel and use like any other door.

The Benefits

uPVC has long been a popular choice with homeowners when it comes to choosing new doors and windows, and here’s why:

Cost-effective

The cost of timber and aluminium bifold doors can mount up, so uPVC offers an affordable alternative.

Energy-efficient

uPVC is known for to be highly thermally efficient, saving you money on those energy bills. Double glazed panels add further energy efficiency. Our doors are compliant with the latest building regulations for thermal performance, so you can be assured that they will keep the cold out and the warmth in.

Low-maintenance

uPVC really looks after itself. It provides weather-resistance and durability. Unlike timber, you don’t need to periodically treat it, so it’s ideal for today’s busy lifestyles. Just give it a quick wipe down now and again, and you’re good to go!

Secure

Our uPVC patio doors have reinforced steel cores, so they offer complete rigidity and security, helping protect your home and its contents.

Stylish

No more the chunky white plasticky frames of uPVC doors gone by; our uPVC bi folding door systems feature slim frames in a range of smart colour options (black, white and anthracite grey), offering a contemporary look.

Versatile
