The advantages of choosing aluminium bifold doors
Aluminium bifold doors are a popular choice for their unique blend of practicality and aesthetic appeal. Here’s why they’re such a sought-after option among homeowners:
Durability and maintenance
Aluminium is renowned for its exceptional strength and durability, even in extreme weather conditions. This means long-term customer satisfaction and positive reviews. Aluminium doors also require minimal maintenance – a simple wipe-down keeps them looking as good as new. In marine environments, there will be more requirements, though this will be a similar case for all other door types.
Sleek aesthetics
One of aluminium’s greatest advantages is its ability to be available with ultra-slim sightlines. This allows for large expanses of glass and maximises natural light, making spaces feel brighter and more connected to the outdoors. The material is also highly customisable, with a wide range of colours and finishes available to suit any style. Origin Bifold Doors, for example, are available in over 150 RAL colours, including woodgrain and textured effects. This allows your customers to choose the perfect option to complement their home.

Both the Soho and Contemporary Collections by Origin offer a luxurious aesthetic to a home, but they cater to different tastes.
Soho Bifold Doors: Soho External Doors offer a bold and rustic aesthetic. Their grid-style detailing provides an eye-catching industrial edge which are perfect for urban interiors. They work particularly well alongside wooden and metal textures, such as wooden flooring and black metal furniture.
Contemporary Bifold Doors: Sleek and versatile, this range suits a wide variety of homes. With large glass panels, they offer a modern twist on a classic design, making them a more sophisticated, understated option compared to Soho’s statement style.
