More and more Lancashire homeowners are setting their sights on the minimalist concertina bifold door style. Illuminating, strong and space-saving, here are 5 reasons why you need to choose aluminium bi-folds for your next home improvement project.
Are you aware that aluminium is 3½ times stronger than UPVC and up to 40 times stronger than timber? One-third the weight of steel, it’s hardly surprising that aluminium has become the ‘go-to’ construction material thanks to its incredibly lightweight qualities that support the most intricate and complicated architectural designs. The method of powder coating strengthens aluminium bifold doors further, making it more resistant to chipping, scratching, fading and wearing too.
Thanks to its inherent strength, aluminium allows for the thinnest sightlines united with breath-taking amounts of glass. The high glass to frame ratio is particularly significant when it’s used to create cutting-edge bifold doors, providing the maximum amount of window space.
Take a look at our aluminium bifold brochures from Smarts and Alufold to see which sightlines are the best option for you.
Exceeding industry-leading weather resistance and security testing, our aluminium bifold doors are unable to warp, bend, flake, rot or corrode. At Great Harwood Windows, we guarantee our aluminium bifold doors for 10 years, so it’s safe to say that the initial investment pays for itself.
If the energy performance of your home is particularly important to you, all aluminium bifold doors from Great Harwood Windows boast innovative ‘thermal-break’ technology that proactively retains as much heat as possible whilst reducing the risk of condensation. Able to achieve building regulation compliant U-values, aluminium bifold doors are designed for maximum efficiency and energy savings.
We’re all so busy these days, being able to avoid tedious household maintenance jobs is an appealing prospect for most – especially for families and young professionals. Guaranteed to last for decades, aluminium bi-folds are considerably low-maintenance – eliminating the need for re-painting, aluminium bifold doors simply require a quick wipe over with a damp cloth every now and then to keep them looking at their best.
