COMPLETE THE DESIGN IN STYLE
We can commence with designing and manufacturing your aluminium bi-folding doors once we know what coloured finish, glazing and hardware you want.
Bi-folding doors can be adapted to fit into your living space…
You may only have a certain amount of space to accommodate a set of bi-folding doors, but that shouldn’t cause us much of an issue as the doors can be specially configured for it.
We have provided bi-folding doors that offer a direct link between a house and living space and that also create a handy passage into a garden area.
Colours galore – find a favourite...
We have a lot of configuration options, but we have an even wider selection of coloured finishes including sublimated woodgrain finishes of Walnut, Rosewood and Oak and multiple powder-coated finishes.
When one colour just isn’t enough, toy with the idea of having a dual-colour finish. Just as it implies, it lets you have one colour on one side of the frame and a different colour on the other.
Fancy handling such an exquisitely designed set of handles?
The configuration of a bi-folding door will determine a suitable choice of handle. You will need a master handle for pass doors and integrated French doors. This has a cylinder lock inside of it and will engage in tandem with the entirety of the locking system when the bi-folding door is in a closed position.
Each individual section of the bi-folding door uses both a D-handle and an intermediate handle. The role of the intermediate handle is to release the folding panes from the door when in the course of opening and re-engage them when closing. A D-handle is used to either push or pull the folding panes. Our hardware range includes traditional and modern master handles and colour matched intermediate and D-handles.

LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR BI-FOLDING DOORS
Bi-folding doors are guaranteed to transform any home they’re added to, but if you’re still not sure if they’re right for you we’re here to help. We’ve answered some of our most frequently asked questions below and our team is on hand to help you create your perfect doors.
What are bi-folding doors?
Wiltshire and Oxfordshire households have universally embraced bi-folding doors.
Bi-folding doors can consist of as many as seven or eight-panelled sections and fold in a similar fashion to a concertina when run across their tracking system. Minimum exertion of effort gets it moving and upon reaching the end of the track, it stays neatly out of the way, forming the most flawless outdoor exit.
Usually, a bi-folding door has a bottom rail (it’s not unknown to have a top rail) which facilitates its seamless movement from closed to open or the reverse. Most generally, bi-folding doors are used as a connecting point from a house to its patio or garden space, through which you can observe undisturbed views and enjoy the wave of light transported inwards.
Supplied in an aluminium framework, bi-folding doors can be adapted into various sizes, styles and configurations to complement home arrangements. They’ll give your home elevated appeal and be such a practical addition to it for the purposes of ventilation, accessibility, and connectivity.
What is the best material for bi-folding doors?
We advocate choosing a material that matches up to your design ideals and home’s individual personality.
Aluminium is one of earth’s most resilient materials, yet remarkably lightweight. Easy to care for, aluminium can be effortlessly shaped so that it offers slender sightlines, and it has great thermal performance.
Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride may not mean much to you until we explain that it is the full name for the abbreviated UPVC. A superb insulator, UPVC also excels in sound insulation and is resistant to things like corrosion and rotting.
Chief in your thoughts when analysing which material to specify for our bi-folding doors should be the look you want them to exhibit, the level of energy efficiency you need, and what you’re prepared to pay. TWC can assist with such decisions, if required, and will always only advise the most appropriate solutions.
How energy-efficient are bi-folding doors?
TWC’s bi-folding doors are built to eclipse specified energy efficiency standards.
Energy efficiency glass is housed in the bi-folding panels to limit heat wastage and conserve it so that householders aren’t hit hard by energy costs.
You’re given the option of having double or triple glazed units, offering a formidable barrier against the cold from outside in winter and powerful heat transmission in summer. Indoor temperature regulation will be consistently comfortable for inhabitants, and it’ll stop energy bills getting out of hand.
Beyond the glass, you’ve also got insulating frames in either UPVC or aluminium to embed thermal comfort internally and restrict the pervading of draughts.
Compared to what it is currently, bi-folding doors can definitely magnify your Wiltshire or Oxfordshire home’s energy efficiency and do so by providing steadfast, season-round weather protection. No present-day property should be without some.
What security features do bi-folding doors have to keep my home safe?
A bi-folding door’s beauty is rounded off with top-level security.
Central to the overall security of the bi-folding door is its multipoint locking system, such a smart mechanism that engages at multiple points and in multiple directions to hold the door sash tight to the frame. It vastly lessens the threat of a forced entry occurring.
Secure dependability also arises from the double or triple glazed units in the product, magnifying its strength and resilience. These glazed sections make a significant contribution to energy efficiency too.
Uplifting the door’s secure credentials are the tested cylinder locks built into the design, located inside high-security master handles. A catalogue of deterrents then to minimise the threat posed by thieves.
How can I customise my new doors?
Customisation of a bi-folding door helps align its design with a home.
Potential configurations are seemingly limitless and can vary from modest arrangements that helpfully connect an internal room to an extension to a wide multi-panel solution of 7 sections for expansive apertures. Bi-folds are configurable in all manner of sizes, colours, and orderings as we’re keen for them to effortlessly integrate into Wiltshire and Oxfordshire residences.
From a colour standpoint, the spectrum of finishes couldn’t be broader. You’ve sublimated finishes in Oak, Rosewood, and Oak if you’re desiring a natural effect, or the powerfulness of TWC’s powder-coated colours. Colours can be mixed and matched by requesting a dual-colour finish for contrasting internal and external looks.
Our handles are cued for customisation as well as just about every other of the bi-folding door’s features. Browse the traditional and contemporary master, intermediate and D-handles supplied and coordinate them with the overall aesthetic through colour.
Can I use bi-folding doors in a conservatory?
Conservatories are an appropriate destination for bi-folding doors and permit the opening of the space.
Conservatories have a feel of an outdoor environment about them because they’re typically surrounded by nature. Bi-folding doors only amplify their outdoorsy ambience.
How they fold and then congregate together results in a hugely unrestricting opening, elevating views and enhancing light transfer into the structure. Furthermore, bi-folding doors present workability, suitable for multiple configuration types, whether it’s a whole wall you want to open or just a small section of it.
A restoration of supreme elegance will transpire upon the integration of a bi-folding door into an existing conservatory, as will new living opportunities, reigniting your affection for spending time in the space.
