Firwood Avenue Bifold

Herts Bifold Doors were asked to supply and install a five-pane Anthracite grey bifold door to the rear kitchen diner. We provided our Origin Easifold door, a top-of-the-range aluminium bifold. The client had already had all her existing windows installed by our sister company, G&N Windows, so we were pleased when we got the go ahead for the work required to the new extension.

Installers create the aperture for the doors

First of all we make sure the frame sits on a level surface, so the installers level the opening through.

Installers make the door frame

The outer frame is made up on site and lifted into position within the prepared opening.

Builders watch as our installers insert the frame

Once in place, the frame is fixed with brick screws into the opening. The builders were impressed with the simplicity of the outer frame installation

Installers lift the doors in carefully

With the frame securely fitted, the doors can be lifted on individually. Our manufacturer guarantees all hardware and runnung gear for its doors for twenty years, this product will last a lifetime.

All five doors are in place

The outer frame has been installed correctly so each door will fit perfectly.

Installers check the sliding mechanism

When the last door is on, our installers check they all slide properly without snagging.

The five frames ready for glazing

All five doors slide effortlessly to the right. Glazing next - with Argon-filled 28mm double-glazed units with a low E-coating. The doors meet all current building regulations.

Installer puts in the gaskets

Once the glass is in, gaskets are installed internally.

All glazed and ready for sealing.

Installer checks the doors

An installer checks the operation of the doors before leaving the site. The installation time was six hours. Our client was very pleased with the overall quality and look of the doors (more photos to follow when builders have completed their contract).
