Steel
bifold doors.

Panels that fold and stack to one side, opening a wall to the outdoors — with an honest word first about when sliding serves you better.

The shape,
settled first.

A bifold door folds its panels back on themselves and stacks them to one side, clearing almost the whole opening — the fully-open wall that decks and courtyards ask for.

We will be straight with you: our default advice is a sliding door. A bifold carries more hinges and more rollers under load than any other opening we make, and in steel that weight is real. Where the brief genuinely needs the whole wall to clear — a servery, a courtyard, an indoor-outdoor room used that way daily — we build bifold, in three-, four- and six-panel set designs, and build it properly.

Bifolds run in the heavier suites — W40, thermally broken W50 TB and FPS50 — with concealed hardware, and every set is drawn and sized to your opening rather than taken off a chart.

SizingMade-to-measure in 50mm increments

External sizes are governed by wind zone — we confirm limits for your site when you enquire. See how the range performs.

Pick a design.
Then make it yours.

Each design is a fixed layout — panes, lockbox, kick plate. Open one in the builder and it carries straight through: suite, colour, hardware and glass are yours to choose, and nothing you pick here is asked again.

Same design.
Different steel.

The suite is the profile system behind the design — it sets the sightline, the glazing and the warmth. Relative cost shows as a tier, one to seven; a number appears only in the builder, once your opening is fully specified.

Finished
by hand.

Every unit is grit-blasted, primed and top-coated in the colour you choose — our house palette or any RAL on request — with the full corrosion-protection process underneath.

This style usually carries concealed hardware — flush & edge pulls, hidden catches — in a choice of seven finishes. Glass runs from clear toughened to low-E insulated units, matched to the suite you choose.

Don’t wait. Plan ahead.

Steel joinery is complicated to make — every joint welded, ground and finished by hand. Bring us in early with your architect and the timeline takes care of itself. Specify it at the start, not the end.
