What makes aluminium bifold doors reliable and durable?

Powder coated finish

Powder coated surfaces are deemed more resistant to damage that can occur both naturally via the elements or from accidental damage that may show scuffs and scratches on other finish types. Powder coating colours stay vibrant for longer and generally will avoid the weathered look for longer.

At Vufold, our aluminium bifolding doors are available in a range of standard colours, all powder coated to provide an incredible, hard-wearing finish that should last (subject to location) around 20-25 years:

• Hippca White (RAL 9910)
• Anthracite Grey (RAL 7016)
• Jet Black (RAL 9005)
• Dual Colour Anthracite Grey/White (RAL 7016/9910).
• Bespoke colours available on request.

Aluminium is moisture resistant

Aluminium reflects a huge amount of light and heat and is moisture resistant. This makes it a reliable option for homeowners worried about the impact of heat in terms of warping, or recoating or maintaining the paint or stain.

UPVC, on the other hand, expands 2.5 times more than aluminium, meaning that at certain times of the year, UPVC doors can temporarily possibly stick.

It will not need consistent maintenance

Our aluminium bifolds come with a guarantee 50% longer than even our best pre-factory finished oak and hardwood doors. Aluminium only requires occasional maintenance, and you are guaranteed that it will not rot or corrode.
