Open Up Your Living Space – folding panels create wide openings, bringing your home and garden together.

Heritage Bifold Doors for Period Homes, Barn Conversions & Contemporary Extensions
Heritage bifold doors are a natural choice for properties where architectural character matters.
Their stepped profiles and horizontal transoms capture the proportions and industrial detailing of traditional steel glazing, making them particularly suited to period renovations, barn conversions and industrial-inspired interiors.
For contemporary extensions, they introduce a striking architectural feature, combining classic steel-look design with large glazed areas and flexible access to the outdoors.
They can also be designed to complement existing Alitherm Heritage windows and doors, helping create a consistent appearance throughout your property.
For listed buildings and conservation areas, approval will depend on the property, proposed design and relevant planning authority. We can provide technical information to support your project.
“……and finally the people. Adrian and Hannah made the purchasing uncomplicated. We visited the showroom in Keighley, went through the options, and from then on everything came on time and on budget. When we had a problem with a handle after the move, they had a replacement on its way the next morning. That is the service you want from a supplier, and it is why we are ordering the last piece of the house from them too.
Highly recommended.”

What is the difference between Heritage bifold doors and Alitherm Heritage doors?
Alitherm Heritage is a steel-look aluminium system designed for single and double doors, while our Heritage bifolds use the Smart Visofold 6000 folding door system. Both offer traditional steel-inspired styling, but Heritage bifolds are designed for wider openings, with multiple panels that fold back to connect your home and garden.
Are Heritage bifold doors energy efficient?
Yes. Our Heritage bifold doors feature thermally broken aluminium profiles and high-performance glazing to help reduce heat loss and improve indoor comfort. Double and triple glazing options are available, with thermal performance depending on the chosen specification.

We offer a wide choice of glazing specifications, including 24mm, 28mm, 32mm and 40mm double or triple-glazed units, subject to system compatibility. Options include self-cleaning, solar-control, gas-filled, decorative and energy-efficient glass, allowing you to tailor your doors to your home’s appearance and performance requirements.
Can Heritage bifold doors open inwards or outwards?
Heritage bifold doors are available in a range of folding configurations to suit different openings and layouts.
