Frameless bifolding doors give you wider door panels

As bifolding door experts, we see many properties and meet a lot of different customers looking for the ideal bifolding door.

A new folding door will be marketed as a product that will give you lots of space and light, bring the outside in and give you a great way to open up the back of your home.

Some of the most important features of a bifolding door are flexible design, a professional installation and a door that will look good and work reliably for many years to come. Our frameless bifolding doors do all this and more.

How wide should each folding door panel be?

What can you do if you want bifolding doors with the widest individual door panels? Our doors provide the solution.

One of the most common questions customers ask us is how wide each door panel can be made. These clients have looked at conventionally framed aluminium bifolding doors marketed as being available with wide individual door panels over 1metre wide.

Many aluminium door systems can easily be made in these larger sizes. However, our clients looking for larger bifolding door panel are dissuaded from having them. Their window company or their builder will often tell them that:

– Wider aluminium bifolding doors are prone to dropping
– Large door panels will be too cumbersome to use.
– Large bifolding door panels will project too far into the inside or outside space when folded open.

Clients are often advised to add another door panel and make each door size smaller. This adds another one or two visible mullions and also makes the glass sizes smaller too.

Frameless bifolding doors give wide folding door panels with ease.

Our frameless glass doors can easily accommodate door panels of over 1m wide and up to 3metres in height. There is no risk of dropping doors or heavy doors with our frameless glass curtains.

The innovative gearing, sliding mechanisms and advanced materials we use mean we have the ideal door for anyone wanting large glass panels, the biggest possible glass panes and an uninterrupted view.

Moreover, because our doors have no visible mullion, no matter how many door panels you have, from two right up to 8 or more, all you see is glass and a beautiful view.

Better still, our doors are less than half the size of a standard bifold when folded back meaning they will not take up valuable space and make the most of your garden and your room. Four panels when folded back take up only 180mm.

If you are looking for a bifolding door with wide door panels with none of the compromise associated with full aluminium bifolding doors, contact us today.

We also offer a full range of aluminium windows, bifolding and sliding doors,
and front doors as FGC Bespoke Aluminium.

“Visiting the FGC factory before a site viewing was the best decision we made. Very few of the reviewers make any mention of the apparent simplicity that disguises the cleverness and ingenuity in this way of dealing with a large size glazed opening. At the factory the finer details behind the design were explained, and the level of engineering precision became apparent. A later site viewing and meeting an existing owner only further confirmed what

We are absolutely delighted with the doors, they are so classy and modern. Paul (FGC) was excellent and knew his job. The workmanship is superb. All our friends and family think they are fantastic. Thank you once again.

Just wanted to say a big thank you for coming up to Manchester from Kent to service our doors. My wife and I appreciated the service and continue to be really pleased with them. Lots of friends comment on how lovely they look and the window cleaner took your card this week, he is thinking of calling you! I would happily recommend you to anyone considering having frameless glass curtains. If there is anyone in

Yes we are very pleased with the doors and would recommend them. Initial contact was done by our neighbour at Kingswood so cannot comment, however, the price we were initially quoted was incorrect and significantly lower than it turned out to be. Not sure why. We at Derwent only had a verbal quotation. The installation was carried out on time, very politely. Unfortunately as you know the handle broke and no spare. Reasonably clean. For

The installer was excellent. In spite of being let down by another member of the team he got on with with the job in a positive manner. Disruption was kept to a minimum and he cleared and tidied up. He demonstrated how to use the doors, ensured I knew how to operate them and answered any questions before he left. He is a credit to your company. Overall: I am very pleased with my frameless

Following the installation of our “double glazed curtains” we would like to say we are delighted with the result. The amount of light now coming into the living room is so different, we are also pleased with the amount of noise they keep out, We are glad we had them double glazed. Paul was a good ambassador for the firm and did an excellent job.

I cannot rate this company highly enough & would highly recommend them to

Our FGC sliding doors were installed in May 2018. Although we have had two relatively minor problems – neither of which stopped the doors from working – FGC have attended very promptly to carry out remedial action. Excellent customer service from head office and excellent service from install technicians. Many visitors comment most favourably on appearance and functionality. Overall rating 10 out of

Re delivery, there was an initial hope that you might be earlier than the 6-8 week lead time, but once that wasn’t going to happen, you gave us a date, and were then able to bring it forward a couple of days to fit around our holiday schedule, which was great.  Guys turned up at 8am as expected. Your guys were clean and tidy. I love the doors and think they are great.  I would

frameless glass doors invited me to their workshop to view the glass curtains for myself, and to show me how they were made. Installation was clean and tidy. When they say they are going to turn up, they do, and are always on time.The product looks great. It really does make the refurb seem complete, and finishes off the room nicely, and I have already recommeded FGD to my friends.

We are both delighted with the FGC product and have no issues with any future viewings. From our perspective the “outside has truly come inside”, we use the decking on a daily basis as the FGC curtains have transformed the house which I think adds a significant value to the property. The only trouble now is that when we see home improvement programs such as Grand Designs where they suggest using bi-fold doors we end
