Bi-folding doors are one of the trendiest home improvements you can add to your home and it’s no surprise why so many homeowners love them. Bi-folding doors are incredibly sleek and elegant. Their appeal is partially down to the smoothness in how they operate.
Our bi-folding doors neatly fold to the sides, opening up fully to give you seamless access to your patio or garden. When closed, they create a stunning glass wall effect, flooding your home with natural light so you can enjoy your outdoor space in any weather. Yorkshire Windows’ state-of-the-art hardware ensures top-level security while keeping operation smooth and effortless.

Bi-Fold Frame
Our Bi-Fold frames boast maximum warmth and security and slide effortlessly to the side to make the most of your space. You can even incorporate a discreet passenger door for everyday entry.
Bi-Fold hardware
Our Bi-Fold Door Handles come in a range of colours to suit your home, they’re built to last with robust materials and quality finishes.
Bi-Fold Easy Glide System
The sliding operation of a bi-folding door relies on a high-quality stainless-steel track on which quad rollers, which are fitted to the door leafs, glide along in elegant fashion. The same quad rollers are fitted with a small brush on one end to keep the tracks free of dust and dirt.
Bi-Fold Low Threshold
Low level thresholds increase the ease of access for everyone involved. An optional outer and inner ramp can be added on to the threshold to further enhance the accessibility for wheelchair users.
Bi-Fold doors will add an extra layer of security to your home...
There’s truly no getting past a bi-folding door when the multi-point locking system is engaged. Locking in many points along the frame with a robust locking system, you can have complete control and complete peace of mind.
You can opt for either double glazing or triple glazing. Both options are energy efficient and they’re extremely tough. The addition of cylinder locks makes these doors even more secure.
Finishing touches to bi-folding doors
Before we bring your sleek aluminium bi-folding doors to life, it’s time to personalise the details. Choose your ideal colour finish and hardware to complete the look with style.
Your bi-folding doors come in a range of sizes and configurations...
Imagine a bi-folding door that spans the length of an entire wall, providing the most impressive view of your garden. You can leave the doors open during the summer months, keeping your space well-ventilated and inviting sunshine doors. We can install multiple glass panes so that is your reality. We can also add just two panes for a small opening too.
When it comes to colour, the choice is yours...
It’s not just the endless configuration options that will leave you spoilt for choice; Yorkshire Windows also offers a stunning selection of finishes. Most are powder-coated onto the sleek aluminium frame for a flawless look, but if you prefer the warmth of wood, we also provide sublimated woodgrain effects in Walnut, Rosewood, and Oak for a realistic timber aesthetic. You can even opt for a dual-coloured bi-folding door for a truly bespoke finish.
Can you handle such delicately designed handles?
The right handles make operating your bi-folding doors effortless. If your design includes a pass door or integrated French doors, a master handle is essential, featuring a cylinder lock that secures the multi-point locking system.
Each bi-folding section also requires a D-handle and intermediate handle. The D-handle moves the folding panes, while the intermediate handle releases and re-engages them. Yorkshire Windows offers a stylish, colour-matched selection to complete your doors.

Discover more about our bi-folding doors
You’ll be amazed by the difference bi-folding doors can make to your home. If you’re not familiar with bi-folding doors then it’s only natural to have questions, we’ve answered some of the most common questions about our door range below. If you have any other questions our team will be happy to help you.
What are bi-folding doors?
Simply put, bi-folding doors are a revelation in design.
If you’ve yet to come face-to-face with a bi-folding door, let us tell you that it’s a door consisting of a legion of individual panels, collectively hinged together to create a concertina-like grouping. Upon a push, the panels fold in on themselves, giving you the unique luxury of pushing the door completely out of the way so that you can seamlessly transition in and out of the house. The panels are pleasingly large, so they maximise light transference and provide an outstanding, unobtrusive view.
Offering the utmost versatility, bi-folding doors are typically used to interconnect homes with their patio, decking, garden, and other outdoor spaces, blurring the boundaries between the locations in the process thanks to their colossal opening.
What should my bi-folding doors be made from?
Consider aluminium for your bi-folding doors.
Aluminium all the way as far as we’re concerned when it comes to selecting a material for the manufacturing of bi-folding doors and there are plenty of reasons behind that opinion.
The malleability of aluminium is why a bi-folding door has the narrowest sightlines to maximise external views, and it is so tough, more than strong enough to cope with the weight of the large glass panes.
Some materials have a tendency to contract and expand in certain temperatures, but not aluminium. So aluminium bi-fold frames will neither bend nor twist.
You don’t need to treat aluminium either, as it’s weather-resistant and needs very little maintenance.
Vitally, it’s supremely flexible for fuss-free openings.
How energy-efficient are bi-folding doors?
Bi-folding doors have great energy efficiency standards.
Our bi-folding doors are manufactured to ensure they exceed required thermal efficiency levels and include a thermal break, the role of which is to reduce the transferring of temperatures between external and internal surfaces. This greatly escalates energy efficiency.
Energy efficient glass fills the framed sections, and you can have them specified in double or triple glazing.
Further thermal efficiency technologies have been exploited in the development of the product to establish our bi-folding doors as one of the market’s most fuel-efficient bi-folding ranges. Their low U-values corroborate just how effective they are as an insulator.
What security features do bi-folding doors have to keep my home safe?
Bi-folding doors won’t leave your home open to burglary, absolutely not!
While a bi-folding door will establish a new access point into your house, this won’t initiate a security risk, not when our bi-folding door solution includes secure frames, secure locks, and secure glazing.
The engagement of the multi-point lock prevents any movement of the bi-fold, which sees it engage at several points and in different directions into a hard-wearing lock keep, keeping the door sash firmly fixed to the door frame.
Toughened glass in either double glazed or triple glazed form is added to the panels, internally beaded, and just about impossible to break or displace, being around five times stronger than standard glass. Reliable cylinder locks are also contained within the high-security master handles.
How can I customise my new doors?
Design a bi-folding door that’s unlike any other.
If you desire a unique bi-folding door installation, Yorkshire Windows is fine with the idea of allowing you to customise it and has a host of personalisation options to choose from.
How the door is configured and the number of panels it features will all depend on the available space you have. A 7-leaf bi-folding door is the largest of our bi-folding designs and a wide expanse, or we have a simple 2-leaf solution, giving you great scope to find a size and style that fits your needs.
Some bi-folds open inwards, and some open outwards. Outward openings tend to be favoured for practicality reasons, but again, it’s a decision for you to make alone. You can also nominate an opening direction and, of course, select a colour, hardware, and any other accessories you feel will benefit you and the design.
Our sublimated woodgrains are a clever way of replicating the unmistakable look of timber. Conversely, you can have any of the hundreds of RAL colours powder-coated onto the frames.
