Which Visofold is right for you?

We make three slim aluminium bifold ranges, so you can match the door to your home and budget:

• Visofold 6000, the premium upgrade, with ultra-narrow 94mm sightlines and even more glass for a design-led, architectural look.
• Visofold Heritage, Art Deco, steel-look styling for period and character homes, in warm, low-maintenance aluminium.

Common questions

How many panels can I have? From 2 to 7 panels in a single run, folding left, right or splitting from the centre, with an optional traffic door so you can step through without opening the whole set.

How energy efficient are they? The thermally broken aluminium frame with double glazing achieves U-values from around 1.4 W/m2K, keeping heat in and meeting Part L of the building regulations.

Are they secure? Yes. Multi-point locking, a high-security cylinder and internally beaded glazing are fitted as standard, engineered to meet PAS 24 where the configuration allows.

What colours are available? The full RAL palette, powder coated, with a dual-colour option so the inside can differ from the outside. Anthracite grey and black are the most popular.

How long do they take? Made to order in Britain, most bifolds are ready in around three to four weeks depending on colour and glass.
