Timber Bifold Doors

External folding sliding doors

FD2U timber bifold doors are manufactured from engineered timber to ensure structural stability and to help prevent twisting or warping. The range is available in standard Eucalyptus hardwood with European Oak also available to special order.  All our folding sliding doors are factory finished with either RAL colour paint finish or translucent stain finishes.  

Our hardwood bifold doors are manufactured to order and are ideal for external use for balconies and patios whether you are replacing existing doors or they are part of a new build extension.  All doors comply with current building regulations and as timber is a natural insulator they can offer the best thermal performance when compared to upvc or aluminium bifold doors.

Factory Finished Stain or Paint Finishes

All our timber bifold doors are supplied factory finished in a wide range of translucent stains or you can choose from hundreds of different RAL paint colours available in either matt or satin finish.  Factory finished doors are recommended as buying an unfinished product will mean that you are responsible for applying multiple coats of paint or stain to ensure the warranty is not invalidated.  The cost of unfinished products may look attractive but not only is this process of applying stain and varnish very time consuming but it will often delay your installation programme.  Our factory finished range of timber bi folding sliding doors are delivered ready to fit.

Enviromentally Sourced Timber

FD2U hardwood bifolding doors are manufactured using environmentally sourced timber from sustainable forests and our softwood and hardwood bi-folding doors are manufactured under tight quality control guidelines by fully trained craftsmen. For extra strength and to prevent warping the timber is engineered which involves splicing the profiles into three pieces and then gluing them back together under high pressure with the timber grains running in opposing directions. This helps to prevent bowing and reduces expansion ensuring you new timber bifold door provides you with years of trouble-free use.

Staycool Solar Control Glass 1.0 U-value

Our hardwood bifold doors are supplied with STAYCOOL solar control glass as standard. STAYCOOL reflects 57% of direct heat from the sun and also reduces glare by 35% protecting you and your home during those long hot summer days. This exceptional double glazing achieves a centre pane 1.0 U-value ensuring that your valuable heat is retained during the colder months of the year whilst the external solar control glass reflects direct heat from the sun to help keep you cooler in the summer.

Other glass options are available including tinted anti-sun solar control and self cleaning glass.

High Security

We take security very seriously which is why we fit hardened steel hook bolt and shoot bolt locking systems to traffic doors and intermediate panels are secured by internally operated shoot bolts to top and bottom of intermediate panels.

The high security hinge fixings are fully concealed when the door is closed and the individual door panels feature an interlocking facility that prevent the panels being forced apart by an intruder.

Internal glazing beads also prevent the double glazed sealed units from being removed from the outside.
