The perfect way to bring the outside into your Greater Manchester home
Thin yet strong aluminium frames can bring plenty of natural light into your home for a refreshing feel. Bifold doors are perfect for anyone seeking to create an open and bright atmosphere. Slender frames create more space for the glass panels which, in turn, gives you an unobstructed view of the outdoors.
Our aluminium bi folding doors are manufactured with polyamide thermal breaks making them an ideal solution for those looking to reduce heat loss and keep their homes well-insulated. With such good insulation, you can stay warm and comfortable indoors while also significantly reducing your energy costs.

Our high-quality aluminium bifold doors are available in a wide range of sizes, colours and configurations to perfectly fit your home. You won’t fail to notice the chic look that will enhance the overall architecture of your house. No matter what you’re looking for, Hive Architectural can help find a style for you.
Are bifold doors high maintenance?
No – quite the opposite. Aluminium bi-folds are the go-to choice due to their robustness, lightweight and durability. Wooden bi-folding doors with timber frames might offer a more classic aesthetic if you desire something different, but for a stronger, more sustainable option, an aluminium core can be used to reinforce the designs. This ensures they stay in good condition for a longer time and require less maintenance.
Can bifold doors add value to my Manchester home?
Bi-folding doors can give your Manchester home a major upgrade and make it look and feel more modern. From traditional to contemporary house designs, these sliding doors add an attractive touch that makes the building stand out and can even add value to your property.

What are the advantages of aluminium bi fold doors?
Protection and Style
Aluminium bifold doors are the perfect choice for security. Their robust aluminium frames are designed to resist weathering and provide ultimate protection from outside elements and intruders, ensuring your family or business stays safe and secure.
Thermal efficiency
Our bi-folding doors can help you save money on energy bills by providing better thermal efficiency. Plus, the frames are relatively slim which allows more natural light to enter your house and create a brighter atmosphere due to the larger glass panels.
Thermal efficiency is essential to maintain a comfortable temperature inside your home or workplace. It helps reduce heat loss so that you can enjoy warm temperatures during the cold months and comfortable temperatures in the summer. Aluminium bifold doors can be manufactured with double-glazing or triple-glazing options, further increasing their energy efficiency (otherwise known as U-Value).
Low maintenance
Aluminium bifold doors are an easy choice to make when it comes to maintenance requirements. You can enjoy the modern look of your home without compromising the charm of traditional properties. All you need to do is a simple wipe-down with a damp cloth and that’s it.
Flexible design options for your Manchester home
Aluminium bi fold doors are ideal for most spaces because of their flexibility. You can install them in different configurations from two to multiple panels, including corners and bay windows. Their versatility makes them the perfect solution for various environments.
If you have a limited area, you can still get the maximum benefit from sashes that fold inwards or outwards. You also have the flexibility to use one door or two by folding either one side or both in the middle. To make going in and out of your home more accessible, adding a ‘traffic door’ can be an ideal solution. You don’t have to go through the effort of dealing with multiple doors and panels which can be tiresome.
Added Security
Visofold bi-folding doors are a great way to improve your home security. They feature multi-point locks on the main sashes and shoot bolts on floating mullions, making it harder for potential intruders to break in. To keep your privacy intact, blinds for bi-folds are the ideal choice. It will help you fortify your private space even further.
Bi-folding doors are an excellent choice if you want to stay clear of the risks associated with raised tracks of traditional patio doors. Plus, they take up less space since they are fixed at floor level and can be folded when opened so that your place looks more spacious. To make homes even safer, child-proofing can be added. This can help to reduce the risk of any unfortunate events occurring.
Aesthetically pleasing
Aluminium bifold doors are practical and multifunctional. They can be fitted with sliding door frames, allowing you to open up your living space. Bifold French doors are a great way to add a touch of style and provide amazing views of your garden or outdoor areas.
Stunning views
With your newly installed aluminium bi fold doors you’ll be able to swing the doors open and enjoy the fresh air in summer. In cooler months, you can feel warm and still enjoy the outdoor views as thermal breaks ensure the doors are never cold to the touch.
