Premium Home Extension Door Solutions: Bifolds and Lift & Slide Systems
Bifold Doors
Aluminium Bifold Doors – The "90% Open" Experience
Aluminium bifolds are the ultimate choice for those who love to entertain and want to maximize their connection to the outdoors. Unlike traditional doors, these fold back completely, allowing you to open up to 90% of your wall width.
Why Choose Bifold Doors?
- Complete Transformation: Perfect for summer parties and wide rear extension doors.
- Indoor-Outdoor Flow: They eliminate the barrier between your home and the patio on sunny days.
- Design Considerations: When folded, the leaves stack neatly to the side. While closed, the vertical profiles provide a classic, structured look.
Our Featured Manufacturers:
- Alunet (ALUNA System): Formerly known as BF73, this British hit is famous for its ultra-slim 120mm profile joins. It offers significantly more glass area than standard bifold systems.
- Reynaers (CF 68): Premium Belgian engineering. These doors are renowned for their incredibly smooth operation and superior durability, specifically designed to withstand the toughest British weather conditions.
Lift & Slide Doors
Lift & Slide (HST) Doors – Panoramic Luxury
If you prioritize unobstructed views and massive panes of glass, our sliding patio doors and HST doors (Lift & Slide) are the gold standard.
The "Lift & Slide" Advantage
- Panoramic Views: Features large glass patio doors that offer a wide-screen view of your garden even when closed.
- Effortless Operation: The "Lift" mechanism means a 3-metre wide panel can be moved with a single finger.
- Space Saving: The panels slide behind each other, meaning they take up zero space on your patio or inside your home.
- The Seamless Threshold: We specialize in flush threshold patio doors, creating a completely flat, trip-free transition between your interior and exterior flooring.

"Fantastic installation"
The fitters arrived on time and worked non-stop. What impressed me most was how tidy they were – they cleaned up everything before they left. The new windows look amazing and the house is already so much warmer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main difference between Bifold and Lift & Slide doors?
Bifold doors allow for a nearly total opening (90%), while Lift & Slide doors feature larger glass panels for better views but typically open to 50% of the total width.
Are Lift and Slide doors heavy to open?
No. Thanks to the specialized HST "Lift" mechanism, the door is lifted off its gaskets before sliding, allowing even the largest glass panels to glide without resistance.
Can I have a completely flat, trip-free threshold?
Yes. Both systems offer seamless threshold doors. However, the Lift & Slide system is particularly effective at achieving a truly flush transition for a modern, high-end look.
Are UPVC sliding doors a good alternative to Aluminium?
Absolutely. Modern 190mm UPVC profiles offer a fantastic balance of luxury aesthetics, superior thermal insulation, and cost-effectiveness.
Which door type is best for a standard 3-metre UK extension?
For a 3-metre opening, aluminium bifolds provide maximum ventilation. However, if you prefer uninterrupted glass views, a two-pane sliding system is the superior choice.
