Which Frame Material Is Right For Your Project?

Whether you prioritize ultra-slim modern sightlines or cost-effective thermal performance, select the material that best matches your property style, structural opening, and budget.

Most Popular for Extensions

Choose Aluminium Bifold Doors If:

  • You want maximum glass and slim frames: Narrow sightlines (down to ~107mm) maximize natural light and outdoor views.
  • You have a large or tall opening: High structural strength supports door leaves up to 3m high and 1.2m wide.
  • You prefer flush, low thresholds: Recessed track designs create a flat, seamless transition to your patio or garden.
  • You need custom architectural colours: Durable polyester powder coating available in over 150 RAL finishes, including dual colours.
  • Long-term value is a priority: Resists thermal movement, will not warp or twist, and delivers a 40+ year operational lifespan.
Cost-Effective Solution

Choose uPVC Bifold Doors If:

  • Budget efficiency is key: Lower initial investment while still upgrading from traditional sliding or French patio doors.
  • Matching existing uPVC windows: Blends seamlessly with existing standard white or foil-wrapped uPVC window frames.
  • Standard structural dimensions: Ideal for standard aperture heights (up to ~2.2m) and openings requiring 3 to 4 panels.
  • Natural thermal retention: Multi-chambered internal profiles offer dependable U-values without higher upfront engineering costs.
  • Low maintenance requirements: Simple wipe-clean surfaces that require no specialist repainting or recoating.

Frequently Asked Question about Bifold Doors

What is the difference between aluminium and uPVC bifold doors?

Aluminium bifold doors offer ultra-slim sightlines, maximum glass area, and exceptional structural strength, making them ideal for large openings and modern properties. uPVC bifold doors provide a cost-effective, low-maintenance, and highly energy-efficient alternative. Durajoin manufactures, supplies, and installs both materials tailored to your budget and aesthetic preferences.

Average cost of Bifold Door is 450£ per panel. The overall cost depends on the choice of material (aluminium vs. uPVC), total width, number of door panels, frame finish, and glazing choices (such as double glazing or solar control glass). Durajoin offers competitive factory-direct pricing for both supply-only and complete installation across Greater London—contact our team for a free, no-obligation price quote.

We offer bespoke panel configurations ranging from simple 2-panel layouts up to 6-panel or larger multi-leaf systems. You can choose options that open inward or outward, fold left or right, or include a central traffic door (pass door) so you can enter or exit without sliding open the entire set.

Our bifold doors are available in a wide selection of RAL powder-coated finishes. Popular choices include modern Anthracite Grey (RAL 7016), Jet Black (RAL 9005), and classic Traffic White, as well as dual-colour options (different colours for the internal and external frames).

We offer a complete range of high-performance glazing options:

  • Double & Triple Glazing (with Low-E coatings for low U-values)
  • Solar Control Glazing (to reduce heat build-up during sunny summer months)
  • Toughened & Laminated Safety Glass (for high-impact protection and security)
  • Frosted / Privacy Glass or Built-in Integral Blinds

Yes. All our bifolding door systems feature heavy-duty multi-point locking mechanisms, shootbolt locks, anti-snap key cylinders, and robust stainless-steel hinges to keep your home protected and meet UK building security standards.

In most cases, replacing existing patio doors or incorporating bifold doors into a rear home extension falls under Permitted Development Rights and does not require planning permission. However, if your property is listed, located in a designated Conservation Area in London, or requires significant structural altering of load-bearing walls, planning approval or building regulations consent may be required.

Durajoin services residential and commercial projects across all Greater London postcodes and boroughs, including West London (Harrow HA1, Brent NW9, Ealing), North London, South London, East London, and Central London
