A Long-Lasting Aluminium Bifold Door Installation

Schüco Bifold Doors Still Looking Like New After 10 Years

A Long-Lasting Aluminium Bifold Door Installation

We recently revisited a property where we originally installed two Schüco bifold doors back in 2015. Our visit was to measure for a new project, but while we were there we took the opportunity to photograph the existing doors.

More than 10 years later, the bifold doors still look and operate like they were installed yesterday. The frames remain in excellent condition, the doors glide smoothly, and the overall installation still looks modern and impressive.

This installation is a great example of how high-quality aluminium bifold doors can stand the test of time when manufactured and installed correctly.

Large Schüco Bifold Door Configuration

The property features two impressive bifold door sets:

  • 6-pane bifold door – 6.2 metres wide

  • 4-pane bifold door – 4 metres wide

Both doors were designed to open outwards, creating wide, uninterrupted openings and allowing plenty of natural light into the living space. Even after a decade of regular use, the doors continue to operate smoothly and align perfectly.

Manufactured In-House for Complete Quality Control

One of the key reasons these bifold doors have stood the test of time is because we manufacture the entire system in-house.

Unlike many installers who rely on third-party suppliers, We manufacture all the key components ourselves, including:

  • Aluminium bifold door frames

  • Double glazed units

  • Toughened safety glass

By producing everything under one roof, we maintain complete control over the quality, precision, and finishing of every element of the installation. This approach ensures every product meets our standards before it leaves our workshop.

As a result, customers benefit from products that are built to last and engineered to perform reliably for many years.

High-Performance Double Glazed Units

The bifold doors were glazed with toughened Low-E argon gas filled double glazed units with warm edge spacers, all manufactured in-house by our team.

This specification provides several important benefits:

  • Improved thermal insulation

  • Reduced heat loss

  • Increased safety through toughened glass

  • Better long-term performance of the sealed units

Because we manufacture our own double glazed units, we can ensure every unit is produced to the highest standard before installation.

Durable Powder-Coated Aluminium Finish

The aluminium frames were finished in RAL 7016 Anthracite Grey, a popular and timeless colour choice for modern homes.

Even after more than 10 years of exposure to the weather, the powder-coated finish has retained its appearance beautifully with minimal signs of ageing. Aluminium is extremely durable and resistant to corrosion, warping, and expansion, making it ideal for large bifold door systems.

Combined with precision manufacturing and professional installation, this durability ensures the doors continue to look fantastic for many years.
