The popularity of the bi-fold doors are on the rise… and with good reason. There’s a beautiful simplicity to bi-fold doors. Not only do they look amazing, they let in tons of natural light and can be installed into any home. And yes, The Window Company can do it all for you!
Here at The Window Company showroom, we stock aluminium bi-folds by leading manufacturer, Sliders UK, so when you do decide to upgrade, you know you’re guaranteed a quality product and a quality finish.
The installation process - all done in a day!
Once everything at your home has been measured up and you’ve selected your new bi-folds, The Window Company will arrange a date for installation. Then, on the morning of installation, our team will come with everything they need to fit your new doors and have the work completed by the end of the day.
Often, the installation of bi-folds is a straight-forward swap with your existing door or window. However, there are also occasions where additional building work is required. But fear not, we take care of all of that for you, too, keeping the whole process as stress-free as possible!
Step-by-step
First, the team will plot where they need to place the acro supports* and put them into place both inside and outside the house.
A new lintel, cut to the new sized opening, will then be fitted.
Next, once the house is secure, your old windows or doors which are being replaced will be removed, along with any brickwork, to make way for your fabulous new bi-folds.
It’s also around this time when you begin to get really excited about how it’s going to look when it’s done!
Finally, the bi-folds are fitted and tested, and once the installation team (and you) are satisfied, they’ll crack on with the finishing touches (aka, tidy-up). They’ll take care of any brickwork needing to be patched up, as well as any interior plastering where required.
