Benefits of Choosing Ultra Slim Aluminium Bifold Doors Over Traditional French Doors
Slim Sightlines
Ultra Slim doors provide very slim sight lines compared to traditional French door systems, allowing more natural light into your room and offering unobstructed views. The narrow outer frames and larger glass panels create a more open and airy feel.
Thermal Efficiency and Security
Thermally broken aluminium frames in our Ultra Slim doors improve insulation, keeping your home warm in winter and cool in summer, thus reducing energy bills and your carbon footprint. Secure locking mechanisms increase safety and peace of mind.
Flexibility
Traditional hinged patio doors often restrict the width of openings. Our slide and pivot system allows for larger openings without bulky folding hinges, making them ideal for wide openings.
Constructed with high-quality aluminium frames, Ultra Slim doors are both lightweight and robust. This material supports large glass panels while ensuring durability and minimal maintenance, unlike traditional wooden French doors.
Our Ultra Slim contemporary French door alternative is highly customisable and made to measure. You can choose the direction of the door opening, select from a wide range of colours, and opt for integral blinds within the glass panels for added privacy and light control—features not typically available with traditional French doors.
