When choosing colours for your aluminium bifold door frames, it helps to know what colours are popular with other bifold door owners. That's why we've shown you the most popular aluminium bifold colours below.

Anthracite Grey, Black, Black/Grey, Slate Grey, Light Silver Metallic and Dark Silver Metallic.

Of course, you're not just limited to these grey and metallic bifold colours, you can also choose from our range of over 150 RAL colours – more about those colours in a bit. First let's take a look at our wide range of wood grains.

Our range of wood grain finishes gives you the perfect way to co-ordinate your bifold doors with your other doors and windows. Our wood grain really does have all the beauty of real wood.

Natural Oak, Golden Oak and Mahogany.

Every colour you could need. If our popular greys, metallics and wood grain effects aren't quite hitting the mark, we have over 150 RAL colours to truly make your bifold doors your own. You're sure to find the colour you're after.

It's also crucial that they look great and are faultless during operation, which is why a great deal of attention has been placed on the aesthetics and ergonomic design.

The handles come in white, black, chrome, gold or premium stainless steel, so you have lots of choice.

The Lever Handle is the handle you will use to open your lead door Below it will be a separate escutcheon into which you'll insert a key when locking or unlocking. NB. Please note that not all door sets have a lead door, this depends on your door layout.

The Slave Handle is the handle that operates the shoot bolts. Shoot bolts are the locks that that go into the top and the bottom of the frame. One slave handle goes between each door/panel.

Panels come in different sizes and depend on your chosen configuration. As explained higher up the page, they have a minimum and maximum width and height, and these measurements vary between door manufacturers.

The table below shows those minimum and maximum dimensions.

This depends on the space into which you're installing the doors. There are few limitations to the number of panels you have—the minimum is two, while there is no real maximum.

Generally, bi-fold doors that accommodate around eight panels will need another track. The way in which doors are transported for delivery means the track can be no longer than around 20 feet. Any doors larger than that will need two different tracks, which are coupled together during installation.

Since panels are available in custom sizes, manufacturers can adjust dimensions to ensure you can have the number of panels you want.

Bi-fold doors made of aluminum (rather than vinyl or wood) have the slimmest frames, as the strength of the metal means the panels can accommodate larger, heavier panes of glass and provide a much wider view as a result.

Origin bifolding door frames are built using high-strength aluminum. This enables us to achieve the thinnest possible door frame while maintaining strength and security. The frames measure 3 inches front to back, while the door sashes are around 2.8 inches wide.
