• Some suggestions while choosing good bi-folding
  doors
•  
• The quality of the aluminium used in a bi-folding
  door system can vary from system to system The
  strength of the frames is one of the key elements
  to consider when investing in new doors or
  windows. The premium grade aluminium is the best
  to manufacture energy efficient, strong and
  durable frames, which gives more advantage when
  using wood and UPVC. The inner strength of
  aluminium means the frames are extremely narrow,
  allowing for an expansive view and plenty of
  natural light.

• The smooth finishing of the bi-folding door
  Normally, aluminium manufacturers polish the dye
  used to cast the frames to reduce the chance of
  corrosion and to avoid contamination on the
  surface of the profile, giving a high quality
  finish ready for the powder coating process. The
  proof of premium quality aluminium is in the
  surface finish. Good quality aluminium should
  have a perfectly smooth and consistent finish,
  while poor quality may have pitting from when the
  door has been heated during powder coating.
•  
• The weather guarantee is the most prominent one.
  On an external door, it is recommended to have a
  rebated threshold and then sinking it a further
  1cm into the floor. This would only give you a
  step height of just   1 1.5cm (the thickness of
  your finger). The last thing you want is wind
  whistling in under your new set of doors come
  winter time.
• Purchase bi-fold doors that pass the current
  building regulations. Building regulations are
  constantly updated, so ask if the bi-fold or
  sliding doors you wish to buy pass the current
  regulations.
•  
• Avoid bi-fold doors with an external track. There
  are some bi-fold doors on the market that have an
  external track that the doors slide along. These
  doors are not purpose built bi-folding doors
  they have been adapted to make them work as
  bi-folds. There is a security risk here as the
  track can be levered off. A purpose built bi-fold
  door should have all the tracks built into the
  frame.
• Be sure of the quality of bi-fold doors while
  purchasing it. Just by paying more doesnt make
  it good quality and paying less make it poor
  quality.
