Bi-Fold Door recommendation

R1xy

I’m having a new extension built and I’m after a good recommendation for Bi-Fold doors. 

We are on a budget, so probably something middle of the range but must be good quality and a good price.

Thanks in advance

I am still yet to come across clients/homeowners that don’t mention about being on a budget

Assuming you also have windows, who is supplying those as some have a door division and there can be some savings if you were to purchase both windows and doors from the same company/manufacturer?

Not enough info.

I just got mine from a local double glazing fitting company who get them from a local glazing manufacturing company. They've been in a few years with no problems. We had the whole house done & a small extension so I can't put a price on just the bi-folds.

We had Origin bifolds fitted last summer and they seem very good. Easy to use, smooth actions and finger guards for kiddies. 20 year guarantee too. The frame etc came in sections which was a god send as we have no access to the rear of our property via the side of the house.

For your ref a 2.9m width with 3 panes cost roughly 4k in white. Including fitting and guarantees from manufacturer and window company.

The replies can be useful to more than just the OP [eg, I found Ajps87's post useful].

My choice at the moment:

We've bought sliders more than bifolds at the moment, but I've just pressed go on a bifold order this morning.

Wondering re best option  re cost and function for sliding doors or bi fold? Aluminium . 2 openings 3200x 2115mm.. I think  I want an unobstructed view  so sliding door better option?  Are inset blinds expensive?

My only recommendation would be for aluminium.  Do not be tempted to go with anything else, they just don't have longevity without issue.

If you are looking at cost, then sliders will be cheaper.
