Bring the outside in with bi-folding doors

Bi Folding Doors

Falcon Windows bi-folding doors provide a wide range of ‘glass wall’ solutions which create additional living space for today's contemporary lifestyle. Imagine a clear, glass wall on the side of your property, one that you can open and close - that’s pretty close to what a bi-fold door would be like in your Suffolk home.

Bi-folding doors open back on themselves and concertina to one side or the other inside or out, with the main door operating like a normal door. By bringing the outside in, these innovative doors have a way of revealing previously ‘hidden’ or ‘restricted’ space, opening things up for entertaining or family life with an inviting and comforting ambience.

Standard PVC-u French doors or PVC-u patio doors tend to have size limitations, but the Falcon Windows bi-folding PVC-u or aluminium door system can create an opening up to an impressive 6 metres in width.

Bi Folding Doors

There’s a broad range of styles and designs too and one can even have central doors which slide opposite ways - it just depends on what you prefer.

Ipswich bi-folding sliding doors installed by Falcon Windows around Suffolk open inwards or out wards and come in standard finishes including white, anthracite grey, wood grain, rosewood, golden oak.

They can also be factory sprayed using impressive paint technologies tested across the automotive industry to any RAL colour of your choice.

Why not be just as creative as you want and let the Falcon Windows bi-folding PVC-u door open your mind to a whole new range of possibilities and way of living?

Bi-folding doors - so much more than a patio door

Bi Folding Doors

When we say that Falcon Windows bi-folding doors can bring the outside inside, that's exactly what you can achieve and we’re finding that more and more people choose bi-folding doors because it blends the garden into the home.

The unique multi-panel folding operation means you don't have to have all the panels open if you don't want to. They incorporate the latest locking mechanisms found in modern double glazed entrance and patio doors, so they're also very secure. The number of panels will usually depend on the span or opening to be covered, with a typical panel width being the same as one opener on a patio door.

Our sliding folding door frames are available in wood, aluminium or PVC-u, depending on the span and height required. Aluminium bi-folding doors are recommended for wider spans as these are much stronger and each leaf can go up to 1300 mm wide.

Aluminium Folding Doors

Falcon Windows now installs aluminium folding doors in Ipswich and many of the villages in Suffolk. We have also installed concertina doors in Felixstowe and coloured aluminium doors in Stowmarket as well as installing aluminium shop fronts in Hadleigh Main Street, giving business owners a maintenance-free and extremely robust shop frontage.

Having concertina or bi-folding sliding doors fitted into your home delivers the benefit of having your garden become part of your house, especially in summer. Once set up and installed, aluminium doors very rarely need a service call – a benefit over PVC-u doors which may meet with gradual movement over time.

WarmCore-Innovative aluminium bi-folding doors are warm at heart

WarmCore Bi Folding Doors

The latest next generation of bi-folding doors is the warm core bi-folding door installed by Falcon Windows in Ipswich and all round Suffolk. This fantastic new technology with impressive strength and thermal properties combines both PVC-u and aluminium, giving our customers the best of both materials.

As aluminium is a good conductor of energy, aluminium has a reputation for the warmth inside your home escaping outside to leave you with higher heating bills. However the Warm Core technologies have overcome this by replacing a small section of the aluminium with plastic to lessen the heat loss.

The full width insulated thermal plastic ‘warm core’ is cladded inside and out with a strong aluminium framework, giving durability with unparalleled insulation – it is 25% more thermally efficient than traditional aluminium systems with ‘warm core’ double glazed bi-folding doors achieving an insulation U value of 1.3 and triple glazed doors reaching an incredible 0.8.

WarmCore bi-folding doors are available in standard colours - anthracite grey, black, brown or white – or can be sprayed any RAL colour or your choosing.

And finally – WarmCore bi-folding doors are extremely fitter-friendly, incorporating some very intuitive ideas regarding the installation process. With a superb quality product which can transform any home, it’s hardly surprising then Falcon Windows have had rave customer reviews for our installs.

Patio Doors

There may be other solutions on the market these days, but patio doors are an inexpensive option if you’re looking to be able to open up your home to the rear of your property. Less expensive than French doors, our Ipswich-based patio doors are still a popular style of installation.

Patio doors are generally between 1800 -2400 mm wide and depending on their width, you’ll have the advantage of not impeding space either inside or out, as most doors can slide across on the inside from one side to the other.

French doors win an advantage over patio doors in that both doors can be opened simultaneously, giving you a wider opening, and if your doors are set forward to the face of the brick, they will fold back on themselves, to be tied back to the brickwork with brass or black tiebacks – all very handy in the summer months of course, if you're having a barbecue!
