Each project has its own unique specifications. If this is a new build, then laminate glass is required to comply with document “L”. There may also be a requirement for trickle vents to be incorporated into your project. We advise checking this before purchase.
We advise there is no specialist requirement to install these bi-fold doors. However, we would advise ensuring the installer is comfortable with measurements and has reviewed the guide in depth to have a full understanding, as these are made to order items.
You should check with the architect and planning officer to determine whether trickle vents are essential, especially if this is a new build project.
Numerous factors in a construction project can influence airflow (such as airbricks, existing doors, extractor fans etc) making it impossible for us to assess this.
Planning permission is generally not required for replacing windows or doors if you are not altering the existing aperture.
For windows in new builds and extensions, the need for planning permission will depend on the size and type of construction. It is advisable to consult your local council or building authority during the planning phase of your project to clarify this.
Bi-folding doors, often referred to as ‘fold and slide’ doors, consist of multiple door leaves (typically between 2 and 7) that fold in on themselves to create a wide opening. These doors can slide in one direction or both ways from the centre, folding back onto each other. They are equipped with magnets that keep the doors aligned and operate on a track, allowing you to easily fold back the lead door and then tuck the remaining doors to one side.
Bi-folding doors have gained immense popularity due to their ability to create expansive openings to the outdoors. This feature is ideal for enhancing your living space during the summer months, while also providing a stylish and secure option.
What we refer to as a “traffic door” is designed to function independently of the other doors in your configuration. This unique feature allows you to use it as a convenient everyday entry point without the need to slide open the adjacent doors, which can often be heavy.
Essentially, the traffic door serves as the primary access point in your design, complete with an external handle positioned on the outside for easy accessibility.
To illustrate, if you envision your doors sliding to the right when viewed from outside, the traffic door would be positioned on the far-left side of the arrangement.
It’s important to keep in mind that for designs consisting of three, five, or seven panes, the lead door automatically functions as the traffic door. This is due to the inherent design of bi-fold doors, which are structured to stack in pairs. On the other hand, if you opt for a configuration with two, four, or six panes, it is essential that the door be hinged on the wall side. This hinge placement is crucial for the door to effectively serve as the traffic door, allowing for seamless operation.
We also sell a Korniche roof lantern and a Korniche skylight – perfect for complementing your bi-fold doors.
