Bifold doors, fitted across Bury St Edmunds
Bury St Edmunds is a handsome town — the Abbey Gardens, the Georgian streets, and a good deal of period property alongside the newer executive estates on the edges. A bifold nearly always goes on the rear or garden side, so even on an older home it rarely touches the part of the house that’s architecturally sensitive. That leaves you free to choose a colour and a glass spec that work for the back of the property.
For a period home, matching the frame to an existing colour or a bespoke RAL keeps it sympathetic; on a newer house the slim anthracite look tends to win. We supply and fit across west Suffolk from our Norwich base — made to measure, fitted for you. Send rough sizes and a photo and we’ll quote within 24 hours.

Slim frames. More glass.
Aluminium is strong enough to carry a large pane on a narrow frame. That is the whole reason to choose it over uPVC for a bifold — less frame means more glass, more light, and a cleaner line when the doors are shut.
We supply Smart’s Visofold system — the most widely fitted aluminium bifold in the UK.

Common questions
How wide can aluminium bifold doors go?
The Smart Visofold system we supply carries up to seven sashes, which covers most domestic openings. The practical limit is usually the wall you have to stack the panels against, not the door itself. Send us the opening width and we’ll tell you what works.
Are aluminium bifolds warm enough?
Yes. Modern aluminium bifolds are thermally broken — an insulating polyamide barrier inside the frame separates the outside metal from the inside. Ours reach 1.3 W/m²K double-glazed and 0.9 W/m²K triple, which meets current Part L.
What is a master door, and do I need one?
A master door (sometimes called a traffic door) is one panel hinged like a normal door, so you can step outside without folding the whole set back. If the bifold is your main route to the garden, specify one. It adds very little to the price and it’s the option people most often regret leaving out.
Can I have a flat threshold?
Yes — a low threshold gives a near-flush, step-free transition. On an exposed elevation a rebated threshold is usually the better call: it carries a weather rating and channels water away from the house. We’ll tell you which suits your site rather than just selling you the flat one.
Which way should the doors fold?
Outward-folding is the usual choice — the panels stack against the outside wall and don’t eat into the room. Fold them inward only if you’ve no external wall to stack against, or the doors open onto a narrow path. Either way, the same profiles are used.
Do I have to have a sales visit to get a price?
No. Send approximate sizes and a photo, and we’ll price it and come back within 24 hours. If you go ahead, we survey properly before manufacture.
Can I see them before I buy?
Our showroom is at 50 Barker Street, Norwich NR2 4TN, open Monday to Friday, 8am–5pm. No appointment needed.
