FAQ - Steel Look Aluminium Bifold Doors

Curious about the remarkable features of steel-look aluminium bifold doors? Find answers to frequently asked questions regarding these versatile doors designed by Direct Trade Windows. Discover the benefits of these doors that seamlessly connect your home to the outdoors, offer energy efficiency, and maintain an elegant modern aesthetic. Explore the various configurations available, key attributes such as weather resistance and compliance with accessibility standards, as well as the ease of installation. Read on to learn more about our FENSA-accredited installation service and the outstanding qualities of our steel look aluminium bifold doors.

Why are bifold doors going out of fashion?

At Direct Trade Windows, we can assure you that bifold doors are not out of fashion. However, you might perceive them this way if you already have them in your home. This perception could arise due to their relatively older design, which might show signs of aging, such as uPVC cracking and twisting, or the potential rusting of internal door hardware due to water exposure.

Are aluminium bifold doors more expensive than uPVC?

At Direct Trade Windows, we believe both options have their merits. While aluminium bifold doors may have a higher initial cost and potentially require additional investment to match the thermal efficiency of uPVC, they offer superior aesthetics, durability, and are perfect for those seeking a premium choice with a slightly higher budget.

How good are aluminium bifold doors?

Aluminium bifold doors boast exceptional strength and, when powder coated, can maintain their integrity for decades. Requiring minimal maintenance – primarily occasional cleaning – they outshine timber and uPVC counterparts in terms of resistance to warping caused by weather conditions. The inherent robustness of aluminium allows for slimmer frames, providing a broader and more expansive view through the doors.

What are the benefits of steel-look bifold doors?

Steel-look bifold doors provide exceptional outdoor connectivity and effective ventilation. They seamlessly blend the indoors with the outdoors, offering a sleek and modern aesthetic while maintaining slim sightlines.

What variations are available for steel-look bifold doors?

Direct Trade Windows offers energy-efficient steel-look bifold doors from Cortizo with options of two, three, four, and six sashes. These doors provide excellent U-values due to an integrated polyamide thermal break.

Superb company. Highly recommend them. Proper engineers for design and fitting. We changed spec due to some building changes and they were clear and responsive to queries and redesign. Really trustworthy group of people from sales to design to fitting. I would use them again without hesitation. Warm regards Daniel

Daniel Champman

The team delivered great sliding doors at a more competitive price than other suppliers. They responded to our changing development schedule without making it an issue and have provided great aftercare as well.

Daniel

We had been severely let down by a previous supplier, but when we turned to Direct Trade Windows for help, we hit the jackpot. Helping us to transform a residential development in Hersham, they supplied us with high-quality, ultra-slim Cortizo sliding doors, complete with the bespoke sliding options that we needed. Our requirements were very specific and not readily available on the market, but Direct Trade Windows really went the extra mile to help us out, coming through with quality products and excellent service. We will definitely be using their services again.

Park Lane Developments

Nothing but praise for this outfit. It was a pleasure to work with them. It was a nerve-wracking undertaking for us, the biggest single expense to fit three large window/french door combos in our extension, yet the team made it a relatively relaxing experience with their professionalism and good humour. Thank you all so much for everything you and the whole team have done to get from the initial sale (well done Hash!) to the fun visit we made to the workshop, to the design and its multiple iterations (thank you Taz!) and finally to the installation. Thoroughly recommended.
