Everything you need to know about bifold doors, sliding doors, and glazing — answered by our experts. Can't find your answer? Call us on 0117 992 3101.
Origin bifold doors are some of the most secure on the market. They feature multi-point locking systems, shoot-bolt security and meet PAS 24 enhanced security standards. Our team can talk you through the exact security features during a showroom visit.
Bifold doors fold back to create a fully open aperture — ideal if you want the maximum connection between inside and outside. Sliding doors use less floor space and suit wider openings. The best way to decide is to come to our showroom and see both in action. We have detailed guides on this too.
We recommend aluminium for almost every project. It's stronger than UPVC, achieves slimmer sightlines, doesn't warp or expand, and needs virtually no maintenance. Timber looks beautiful but requires significant upkeep and can't match aluminium on sightlines or span.
Yes — we offer a full range of aluminium windows, roof lanterns and rooflights that are designed to complement our bifold and sliding door ranges. Matching profiles and colour options make it easy to create a cohesive look across your extension or renovation.
Our Origin range carries a 20-year product guarantee. All installations are backed by our workmanship guarantee and we offer insurance-backed guarantees for additional peace of mind. We'd always recommend getting an insurance-backed guarantee — call us to find out why.

Bifold doors fold back in a concertina pattern. You choose whether they stack left, right or both sides. An inward or outward opening option is also available. Our showroom has working examples of all configurations — come in and try them.
A flush threshold creates a level transition between inside and outside — no step, no trip hazard. It requires careful planning at the construction stage. We have detailed guides and can advise during your survey. Not all floor types are suitable so it's worth discussing early.
Yes — integral blinds (venetian blinds placed between the glass panes) are available across all our aluminium bifold ranges. They're controlled by string or crank handle and require no maintenance.

Yes — we supply and install across the South West and South Wales. We also supply-only if you have your own installation team. Our delivery options include kerbside delivery for trade customers.
As early as possible. Lead times vary by range and season. If you have a building completion date, talk to us early — we'll work backwards to make sure your doors arrive when you need them.
Yes. All our installations are covered by a workmanship guarantee and insurance-backed protection. Our installers are employed directly by us — not subcontracted — so quality is consistent on every job.
The OS-20 has an ultra-slim 20mm sightline for the most minimal look. The OS-44 accommodates wider individual panels, making it ideal for larger openings where a 20mm sightline isn't feasible. Both deliver excellent thermal performance and security.
Yes — our sliding door ranges all meet PAS 24 enhanced security standards, the same benchmark as our bifold ranges. Multi-point locking as standard.
Aluminium bifold doors require very little maintenance. Wipe frames with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Lubricate the track and hinges once a year with a silicone-based lubricant. Avoid solvents or abrasive cleaners on the glass or powder-coat finish.
