Aluminium Bi-Fold Doors in Kensington & Chelsea

Behind the Royal Borough's stucco façades sit some of London's most coveted garden squares, mews courtyards and lower-ground garden flats. Our slim aluminium bi-fold doors open these spaces up to light and air without ever touching the protected front elevation.

Bi-fold doors made for Kensington & Chelsea homes

In Kensington & Chelsea, the transformation almost always happens at the rear. Grand Notting Hill and Chelsea townhouses open onto private communal gardens, lower-ground kitchens spill out to lightwells and patios, and converted mews houses crave every scrap of daylight. Because bi-folds are fitted to the back of the property, they deliver a dramatic, contemporary indoor-outdoor connection while the listed or conservation-area frontage stays entirely unaltered.

We specify thermally broken aluminium with the slimmest possible sightlines, in RAL colours and dual-finishes that suit refined interiors — anthracite and bronze anodised are perennial favourites here. Every set is made to measure, structurally surveyed for the wide openings these homes demand, and installed by our own fitters with the care a Royal Borough property warrants.

Why aluminium

Slim frames, wide spans, year-round warmth

Thermally broken aluminium is strong enough for the wide openings Kensington & Chelsea homes are known for, yet slim enough to keep sightlines minimal and glass maximised. Low-E double glazing, weather-rated thresholds and multi-point locking mean the doors look after comfort and security as well as light.

How Kensington & Chelsea homeowners use bi-fold doors

Every set is designed around the way Kensington & Chelsea homes are built and lived in.

Communal garden townhouses

Full-width bi-folds across a rear reception open Notting Hill and Chelsea homes onto their prized garden squares, flooding the lower floors with light.

Lower-ground garden flats

Slim-framed sets turn dim basement kitchens into bright, garden-facing living spaces — a favourite upgrade for the borough's lateral apartments.

Mews conversions

Compact two- and three-panel bi-folds suit the tight courtyards and rear yards of converted mews houses without overwhelming the space.

Maximum light
