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

Testimonial: We are extremely pleased with our sliding doors. You kept them for us for several months as our renovations took longer than expected and a missing part was immediately despatched. First class service thank you.

Testimonial: I have just installed my door set and I am delighted with the results. Vufold have provided a quality service and product. The whole process of ordering, delivery and installation has been faultless. I would also like to thak the technical department for providing information on wood stain and finishes.

Testimonial: We have just had our external doors fitted and we are extremely pleased with the result. The quality is excellent, the mechanism is really smooth and they look great. Our fitter commented on how clear and simple they were to install. The only improvement area is the locks for the folding section, which are really big and rather unattractive (interestingly you choose not to show these on the pictures in the web site – which is a bit disingenuous). Overall, really happy with our purchase.

Testimonial: Good quality and quickly delivered. Installed easily, according to our builders - who liked the manufacturing, and asked for details so they could recommend to other clients. Locks/handles are a little flimsy - and the plates that attach to the door frame aren't in QUITE the right place, seems to me, so the locking mechanism is stiff. Also the stick-on seals on the frame are coming slightly unstuck. These are, broadly, minor niggles. Generally we're very pleased with the doors.

Testimonial: Having received the doors I was impressed by the quality and build and my father, a carpenter for 40yrs, and I installed them with little to no problem. Then having found a problem that door one and two were narrow in the middle causing a gap feared the "Internet scam" this was not the case. The old adage that you don't know how good a company is until something goes wrong was never more true than in this case. Having sent a few pics to explain the issue they checked the next two doors and sent then within 7 days of me making the complaint! This is the service you want having found an issue! Good communication and a good product! I will be using them again! Thanks allot!!

Testimonial: Have fitted several vufold doors for clients who have always been thrilled with this product. Easy to install & easy to make adjustments in the future due to a great hinge system. The ultimate would be if the doors could hinge inwards as an option.

Testimonial: The doors are now fitted and look great. To be honest, the sample we were sent didn't do justice to the finish of the actual doors. The instructions and the way all the fittings were labelled and arranged in the boxes was a great help. I had a few problems fitting the lock but that was all. The price was competitive and next time you have a sale on, I'll be interested in buying a set replace some old French doors elsewhere in the house.

Testimonial: Very good and well done door for the price. No problem with the delivery and even when I discover(after 1-2months) that there is a strange mark on one of the doors- the customer service was very helpful and offer me replacement or some money back. Very good communication, very nice to deal with, such a different from some of the company that I had to deal with when I refurbish my house. as I`m a builder I already recommend your company to some of my clients.

Testimonial: Installed these doors June 2010. The tradesmen who installed the doors were impressed both with the product quality and ease of fitting. Having been through one of the worst winters on record, the doors insulating qualities met the challenge. The doors win on both price and quality and I am a very happy customer.

Testimonial: The doors are good quality but quite difficult to work out how to fit. Once you get the hang of it it is fine. We have the flush cill version to go between house & conservatory. The draught proofing on door bottom on this type isn't great, just screw on 'brush draft strips' like you can buy in DIY stores. Be aware of this if buying this version.

Testimonial:A quick note to say that finally the joiner has fitted our doors - he was impressed and so are we. I can't imagine how it would be possible to make a better product frankly - the attention to detail would put a German manufacturer on their mettle! We've been giving the builders instructions of how gentle they have to be (heavy fisted lot) and dire warnings about misuse!
I am an inveterate Tweeter (though have refrained mostly on saga about the house) but thought you deserved one:
The house no longer has a gaping hole at the back - new bifold doors from Vufold - highly recommended.
Thanks a lot.
PS My partner says they are the best thing we've ever bought (and him with an iPad, that's high praise indeed).
