Sliding doors serve as an excellent glazing solution for rooms offering scenic views and easy access to the outdoors. Unlike bifolds and French doors that have more visible lines, sliding patio doors provide unobstructed views with extensive glass areas.
When comparing lift and slide doors to standard sliding doors, the former offer additional advantages. The key difference lies in their operation. By turning the handle, you can lift and lower the panels on the track, allowing for smoother movement and the option to secure the door in an open position. This feature is perfect for letting fresh air in while maintaining home security.
Lift and slide doors not only enhance weather performance and thermal efficiency but also provide a better-fitting seal. With their attractive design, effortless operation, and the performance benefits of aluminum, AluFold Direct's Lift and Slide Doors are the perfect choice for a seamless and efficient home upgrade.
Aluminum stands out for its exceptional durability, lightweight nature, and strength, making it an ideal choice for producing bifold doors. In contrast to timber or uPVC, aluminum is a highly stable material that experiences minimal contraction and expansion with temperature changes. This stability helps prevent door frames from warping, ensuring smooth sliding open and close movements over time.
Our aluminum door frames and components are safeguarded from the elements and do not need treatment or repainting. Unlike steel frame doors, our aluminum frames are corrosion-resistant and further shielded by a special coating, ensuring durability even in challenging conditions like marine environments.
Recent technological progress has made aluminum door frames equally energy-efficient as timber or uPVC options, all while maintaining a sleek and stylish design. Our bifold doors feature slimline aluminum frames that enable a larger glass opening, inviting more natural light into the area and potentially lowering energy costs.
