Where can bifold doors be installed?

Bifold doors are best installed in a large opening on one side of your home, ideally leading out onto a garden or patio space. Whilst you can choose to have bifold doors fitted in place of traditional french doors, they’re better suited to larger openings, so that you can make the most of the increased light and air coming in. The Liniar Alumina bifold door system facilitates from 1 pane to as many as 7 opening sashes up to 6m wide. This allows them to easily fit into most home renovation projects.

It's recommended to consult with us, we can assess your specific situation and provide guidance on whether your existing opening is suitable for bi-fold door installation.

What materials are commonly used for bi-fold doors?

Bi-fold doors are available in various materials, including aluminum, uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride), timber, and composite materials. Aluminum is popular due to its strength, durability, and slim sightlines. uPVC offers good insulation and requires minimal maintenance. Timber provides a natural and warm aesthetic, while composite materials offer a combination of durability and low maintenance. The choice of material depends on factors such as budget, desired aesthetics, and maintenance preferences. The doors that we supply here at Allerton Windows are aluminium.

Uncompromising security

Liniar Sliding Folding Doors have been designed with innovative security features. A unique five-point lock makes your bifold door system as secure as it is beautiful. Each lock runs the full length of the door and combines with high-strength rollers and hinges to provide optimum security for your home.

Each door system sits on a custom-made roller assembly, which sits deep within the tracks for maximum stability. Integral dog bolts also bind the doors together when closed, for added peace of mind and protection against forced entry.

Industry-leading insulation

Liniar bifold doors are purpose-built to keep your home thermally insulated. They use a radically different design approach to traditional aluminium doors.

A thermal core hidden within each door is the secret to these bifolds’ performance.

This thermal core outperforms the typical aluminium door, drastically reducing the threat of cold bridging on doors. Each bifold door is triple-sealed to ensure weather resistance and to stop draughts from getting in.

Colin Mutch- December 2019

Just had bi-fold doors fitted , along with 2 new windows ( one of which involved a wall removed to fit a larger window ) . Allerton Windows have been totally fantastic from the day we first went to their showroom in Bootle where we spoke to Paul who pleasantly informed us on all the options and then said he would e-mail a quote ( which he duly did ).

Cathy Barrow- December 2019

We had a few quotes for our windows doors and extension, then a friend recommended Allerton Windows, so we had them and come and give us a price! Out of all the quotes, they came in at the most competitive with the highest reviews! So we decided to go with them!

Can you replace a regular door with a bifold door?
Regular sets of french doors or sliding doors can be replaced with bifold doors. The space that your current doors take up will dictate how many bifold doors you can have.

For example, if you wish to simply replace your set of two french doors with bifold doors, then you can do so with a 2 leaf bifold door configuration.

However, if you have more space on either side of the doors, you may be able to extend this to a 3 or 4 door configuration.
