Triple glazing adds and improves the thermal efficiency, giving your doors a better U-value.
U-values measure how effective a material is as an insulator. The lower the U-value, the better the heat insulation.
We normally supply all our doors and windows in fixed standard sizes. However, a bespoke service is available - please provide further information including dimensions via the Contact Us page, or call our sales team.
All standard-sized Vufold external bifold doors open outwards only. However, we can offer a bespoke open-in door set in our Supreme and Status aluminium ranges only.
Our Master, Elite, Status and Supreme French doors can open inwards or outwards (you specify which when ordering).
Our Ultra french doors open outward only.
Yes, we offer a flush cill with our Elite and Master (White only) range. However, the flush cill option is for internal use only for example in between a living area and conservatory.
Our ‘external’ cill would be required if your door set is going to be installed on an external wall open to the elements. However, it is possible to install the ‘external cill’ flush with your internal or external floor.
All our bifold doors (except the aluminium Status and Supreme ranges) are top-hung for ease of operation, with a bottom track designed to be used as a guide.
The Supreme bifold doors are bottom hung and have a self-cleaning bottom rolling system with built in removable track covers.
We guarantee all our hardwood and composite (hardwood and aluminium) external door sets for 10 years against manufacturing defects as well as all our glazing units.
The Status, Supreme and internal door ranges have a 15 year guarantee against manufacturing defects.
The Vufold Ultra, Status and Supreme aluminium finish is guaranteed for 15 years depending on location and proximity to the coast.

Yes - all Vufold bifold doors have a single-opening daily-access door with the exception of the 2 door Status or Supreme.
Our doors have not been designed to be trimmed. Doing so may invalidate your warranty.
‘Prefinished’ means that our doors have had 3 coats of a microporous wood finish applied in the factory, so they are ready to install without needing further treatment or finishing during installation.
Prefinished doors still require regular checks and maintenance. We supply a range of maintenance kits, care products and finishes here.
We offer frosted toughened safety glass on our Finesse Frosted range only. Our other internal doors are supplied with clear toughened safety glass.
We only supply trickle vents for the Status Aluminium products, however, they are not always required on every installation.
Please check with building control / regulations if they are required for your installation.
We have a showroom in Macclesfield where we display many of our door ranges - see our showroom page for more details.
No, our doors are not provided with a fire rating.
No, FENSA relates to the person(s) installing the doors or windows.
The Fenestration Self-Assessment scheme (FENSA) has been set up by the Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) and other industry bodies in response to the building reguilations. A FENSA registered fitter just means that they are self-certifying the compliance of the windows or doors with the building regulations.
