  • Research:
    Visofold are made by SmartSystems, smartsystems.co.uk/content/1/18/about-us.html
    AluSmart are in Bath, alusmart.co.uk/#Contact
    They are not on the SmartSystems Installer list, smartsystems.co.uk/consumers/ [put in AluSmart postcode]

    Options:
    Contact them direct with your questions or get quotes from another company, perhaps a UK manufacturer of aluminium bo folding doors, e.g. sunseekerdoors.co.uk

    Firstly, DO NOT pay any deposit by bank transfer. Should it all go 'hits up' you'll have no protection. Pay any deposit by credit card then you are protected.

    You are NOT protected even if you pay by Credit Card as they will be a third party not the supplier.
