The original vufold, further improved in 2011 - excellent quality with hardwood engineered core and a full 3mm slice of real oak or hardwood on all faces - not ‘oak effect’ or ‘oak stain’.
Super thick 54mm doors for additional stability and insulation, with extra deep 133mm frames.
Class winning and unique cill with a combination of oak or hardwood on top and aluminium, for drainage, underneath.
Stainless steel folding sliding hardware for a classy look and excellent durability.
New flush cill option for use between the house and conservatory or sunroom.
Thermally efficient full thickness 24mm double glazed unit using toughened tempered safety glass to the new updated British Standards BSEN 12150 IC2 and BSEN 12600.
Choice of fully factory pre-finished oak or hardwood. All factory pre-finishes are with a high build microporous wood coating system - not just a woodstain or clear lacquer.
Each set includes doors, frame, cill, folding hardware, tracks, locks, handles, frame fixings, magnetic catches, lintel fixings and easy-to-follow fitting and assembly instructions.
Secure - All internal bottom sliding bolts are key lockable as standard and all beading to fix the glass units is on the inside for greater security. 3 point locking system plus additional lockable slide bolts
Simple to fit - virtually everything is pre-machined so only on-site assembly is required. No other company supplies you with special drill bits to make fitting easier.
Reversible left or right folding door opening is available on sets from 6ft to 12ft - you don't have to specify when you order.
Daily access doors - all sets have single or double access doors so you can go in and out without having to fully open the set each time. In addition, all of our doors open outwards, so they don’t take up any space in your room and maximise your living area. Magnetic catches to safely hold the doors in place when open
Weather tested to BS6375 Part 1 and include double weather seals to keep draughts out. Extra thick 54mm doors give greater stability and additional insulation too.

Testimonial: Beautiful doors - provide a fantastic view and also are really easy to open up. We had them installed in early winter and we were very impressed with the quality of insulation. We loved them so much, we came back to Vufold for french doors and we're delighted with those too. The only tiny niggle is the quality/ease of locking the doors - often takes 2-3 attempts. Overall great quality at a very good price.

Testimonial: the doors were delivered on time and in good condition, and my joiners found them very easy to fit. two doors in one day in fact one 6ft the other 12ft. they are operating very well to date, just minor cleaning of the bottom rail having been neccessary, will be using them for the second part of our refurbishment when we have raised the money.

Testimonial: Great set of doors. Fitted them myself as a DIYer with some help from my Dad. Hardest part was ensuring the frame sat perfectly square in the opening. Assembling the doors was fairly straightforward and they run perfectly on the runners now Would recommend these doors and Vufold who were very knowledgable and helpful with the many questions I had before purchasing.

Testimonial: Ordered two sets of the 12ft Elite in Hardwood . These are of exceptional quality and appearance they have literally transformed my home. Fitted them in two days. The second set being much easier after the first. The only problems were that the drill bits were not strong enough to drill through our lintel so we had to purchase more and we found that the screws provided were too soft and again used alternatives.

Testimonial: Great build, great quality and by far the best wooden doors we looked at. We choose these doors due to their very slim frames which provides a much greater area of glass. Nice touches include the magnetic holders for the folding doors. Would highly recomend. The only thing I could think of adding would be a brace for the single opening door.
