TestimonialsDurafold 1000 Bi-folding Doors
These aluminium Bi-folding doors, are our slimmest bi-folding doors yet. Designed to bring a graceful elegance to your home, they allow for over a 90% clear opening - bringing the outside in. Our Durafold 1000 Bi-folds have very slim profiles to minimise frame and maximise the glazing area. This allows for more natural light and unobstructed views of the outside world.
They come in a wide range of different finishes including our Trend colour range. These Bi-folding doors are built to last with high quality hardware to provide a bi-folding door that slides smoothly with minimum effort. The Pendulum handle range gives this bifold great appeal and the ability to have outside access, without the need for a traffic door. Bring the outside in with our Durafold 1000 Bifolding doors.
TREND COLOUR RANGE IS CURRENTLY THE SAME PRICE AS WHITE FOR THESE DOORS.

Sprung Loaded Traffic Door Buffer MagnetsA Bi-folding Door with traffic doors, may need to be fitted with high strength buffer magnets. These are used to secure the traffic door to the adjacent panel, holding it in an open position. This also acts as a buffer preventing the traffic door from knocking against the other panels.

What Is A Traffic Door? - How Do I Get Inside And Outside Access?
A traffic door allows quick and easy access from the inside and outside of your bifolding doors, without having to slide and fold any panels. Just as you would have with a conventional back door. In most cases, if your chosen style does not allow for a traffic door, you would be left with no outside access. However our New Pendulum range of handles allows for inside and outside access without the need for a traffic door.
Bi-folding doors slide in two’s, so an uneven number of panels folding in any direction will always result in an odd panel that can operate independently of the sliding panels. This odd (spare) panel is known as a traffic door, and offers quick and easy access from both inside and outside, using a standard lever-lever door handle. Subsequently an even number of panels will result in no traffic door and no outside access.
