Open up your home with aluminium bifold doors
Made-to-measure aluminium bifold doors professionally supplied and installed across Brighton, Hove and Sussex. Slim frames, generous glazing and flexible folding configurations can transform the connection between your home, patio and garden.
Create a stronger connection between your home and garden
Aluminium bifold doors use a series of hinged panels that fold and slide together, allowing a large proportion of the opening to be cleared when the doors are open. They are particularly effective for kitchens, extensions and living spaces opening onto a garden or patio.
Aluminium's strength allows comparatively slender profiles to be used within suitable bifold systems, helping create generous areas of glazing without visually heavy frames. When the doors are closed, the glass can bring more daylight into the room and maintain views outside.
Sussex Window Works supplies and installs aluminium bifold doors throughout Brighton, Hove and the wider Sussex area. Each installation is professionally surveyed before the final manufacturing sizes and specification are confirmed.
Why choose aluminium bifold doors?
A flexible way to combine generous glazing with a wide opening, contemporary aluminium frames and everyday access to the garden.
Slim sightlines
Aluminium's strength allows comparatively slender profiles in suitable systems, helping reduce visible frame and increase the glazed area.
Wide openings
Multiple panels fold together at one or both sides, depending on the configuration, allowing a large proportion of the opening to connect with the garden or patio.
Modern security
Strong aluminium frames can be combined with appropriate locking hardware and secure glazing. The exact security specification depends on the selected bifold system.
Thermal performance
Modern thermally improved aluminium profiles and energy-efficient glazing can provide effective thermal performance, with exact results depending on the chosen system and configuration.
Colour options
Powder-coated aluminium systems are available in a wide selection of colours and finishes, depending on the chosen product specification.
Low maintenance
Powder-coated aluminium is straightforward to maintain, with routine cleaning of the frames, glass, tracks and hardware helping keep the doors looking and operating correctly.

Aluminium bifold door FAQs
Are aluminium bifold doors energy efficient?
Modern aluminium bifold systems use thermally improved frame profiles together with energy-efficient glazing. Exact thermal performance depends on the selected system, glazing specification, size and overall door configuration.

Aluminium provides a strong frame material and bifold systems can be combined with appropriate locking hardware and secure glazing. The security performance depends on the complete door specification, hardware and installation.
How many panels can bifold doors have?
