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 calling 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 range. However, the flush cill option is for internal use only - in between a living area and conservatory, for example.
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, and the bottom track is designed to be used as a guide.
The Supreme 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) door sets for 10 years against manufacturing defects as well as all our glazing units.
The Status and Supreme have a 15 year guarantee against manaufacturing defects.
The Vufold Ultra, Status and Supreme aluminium finish is guaranteed for 15 years depending on location and proximity to the coast.
Blinds are guaranteed for 1 year from installation date.

Yes - all Vufold doors have a single-opening daily-access door.
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 maintenance, of course. We supply a range of maintenance kits, care products and finishes here.
We do not offer alternatives on glass. Our internal doors are supplied with clear toughened safety glass only.
We do have blinds available should you need additional privacy or shade.
No, the blinds are not integral to the glass, but fit neatly to the beading of the door.
We have a range of blinds available that have been specially designed to fit Vufold external and internal doors (except for our Edge internal doors).
No, we do not currently supply trickle vents as 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.
If that's not convenient, we also regularly attend exhibitions across the country where we have several door sets on our stands for you to inspect and try out. See Vufold Near You to see if we're going to be at a show near you.
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.
