Aluminium Bi-Fold Doors in Richmond upon Thames

With the largest and greenest gardens in London, Richmond upon Thames is bi-fold country. Our aluminium doors open Richmond, Twickenham, Kew and Barnes homes straight onto their lawns, terraces and riverside views — and their thermal performance keeps the room warm long after summer ends.

Bi-fold doors made for Richmond upon Thames homes

Richmond's substantial Victorian and Edwardian villas, riverside houses and leafy family homes were made for indoor-outdoor living. A full-width bi-fold across a rear kitchen-diner turns the whole back of the house into a bright garden room, and folding the panels away on a summer evening erases the boundary between kitchen and lawn entirely.

Because so many of these homes sit under the Heathrow flight path, we pair the doors with laminated acoustic glass that keeps aircraft noise out when they're closed. Thermally broken aluminium and low-E double glazing mean the room stays comfortable and energy-efficient year-round, while the wide spans these gardens invite are handled with proper structural surveying.

Why aluminium

Slim frames, wide spans, year-round warmth

Thermally broken aluminium is strong enough for the wide openings Richmond 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.
