Looking for upvc folding patio doors

We want to replace the sliding doors from our kitchen with a DIY fit set of triple folding set of doors. Anyone done this, any recommendations?

    Not the most amazing website in the world, but incredibly helpful and knowledgable people. I've posted about them several times. We're on our third house using them for all our windows and doors, including the folding sliding, which is how I first stumbled across them.

    They help the the design exactly right, have every different combination of energy saving glass, seals, you name it and every anticipated delivery has been bang on time.

    i would check out doozergirls recommendation, i've only seen two sets of these installed and tbh i wouldn't touch them! the amount of flex when they are closed is scary, but could just be that these are cheapos

  • When I was looking at putting a set of the trifold doors into my house, I was recommended to go for the aluminum type rather than upvc as the pvc ones are bulky clumsy and can go out of alignment easily.
