Bifold Doors installation in Highgate, North London
By Enfield Windows
This recent task for Enfield Windows is a perfect example of the versatility of bi-fold doors. With enough width to spare they can be “four-in-one” doors that make the very best use of the space available.
When closed, they are a weatherproof but see-through wall allowing light to flood into your home. Fully open, they invite the outside space inside. But in between those extremes there can be two more configurations – single door opening for everyday use and a double French door option.
Huge space to fill
The job was in Highgate, North London, where the householder had approached Enfield Windows after seeing what we have to offer on our website. The client wanted to replace a large but dated patio sliding door with glazed top panels for something more efficient. At four meters wide and three meters high, it was a huge opening, but the current set-up was not making best use of it.
Based on those measurements we suggested fitting a four-part bi-fold door that would offer all the advantages mentioned above. Enfield Windows are proud partners with Origin, who are arguable the leading producers of bi-folding/sliding doors and windows. The doors are robust but beautifully engineered to look sleek and up to date.
Insulation with security
As for the technical specification, we fitted anthracite grey RAL 7016 frames, with stainless steel hinges and handle accents that stand out over cheaper products which supply only black or colour-coded hardware. The glazing was 28mm argon-filled toughened glass, offering far better warmth and security than in the original unit we replaced.
The sales process, survey and installation were completed in less than four weeks, transforming what was a rather tired and dated space into a centrepiece for the summer months ahead. And the best part for the homeowner is that every Origin product comes with a no-quibble 20-year manufacturers’ warranty covering all working parts, along with Enfield Windows’ own 10-year guarantee.
