    We looked everywhere, and I mean that, then in the end went to B&Q and got their oak veneer trifold glazed doors. When we came to pay, they came up as £590 instead of the £640 in the book.
    They took about three weeks to come.
    What they failed to tell us is that the frames are one size and need to be cut to fit the smaller width doors. We spent about two weeks back and forth with staff who seemed to know what they were doing, trying to replace them with the correct size. Obviously they didn't have a clue what they were selling, as eventually I managed to get speaking to the door manufacturers themselves, who told me that the frames needed to be cut. It was really frustrating, so I'm just getting this info out there for anyone else who may buy these doors. Save you a bit of a headache in the long run.
    Well worth what we paid for them though and they look really good. The folding mechanism is as smooth as silk.

    Sorry I can't help you there. We looked at pretty much every online site but didn't find anything we could afford that we liked the look of, which is why we ended up back at the B&Q one.
    This is the company who make doors which we bought.

    Maybe if you cut out the middle man they may work out cheaper.

    I bought from here:
    http://www.builderdepot.co.uk/doors-joinery-windows/folding-doors-room-dividers/interior-room-dividers.html
    The doors were delivered direct from the manufacturer.
    I have no complaints at all.
    Changing the world, one sarcastic comment at a time.
  • We have recently had some Edge doors from Vufold installed. Our friends have had them for 3 years and are really pleased with them still and our builder, who has fitted various doors like this, told us they were the best type he had installed, which is why we chose them. We have the ones with the track as he said they would be more stable. Ours are closed most of them time and we just use the single panel door for access but they are very easy to open the whole way. Ideally we wanted some with obscured glass but Vufold didn't do any like that and now that we have them we are actually pleased we ended up with clear glass. I think we paid around £1100.
