The Benefits
of Bi-folds
Without a doubt, bi-fold
doors have been one of
the most popular home
improvement products of the
last decade. Over 39,000 bi-fold
installations are expected to be
completed in 2014, with this
number growing to 47,000
in 2015, according to Palmer
research.
Origin has grown rapidly in
line with this trend to become
the UK’s leading manufacturer of
high quality bespoke aluminium
folding sliding doors. Neil Ginger,
CEO at Origin, explains the
benefits of bi-folds.
Bi-fold doors with high quality
finishes and materials will give
the perfect addition to any
building project. Ticking the
boxes for energy efficiency, safety
and security, beautiful bi-folding
doors will add value and enhance
any style of any property by
removing the barriers between the
home and the outside views.
While kitchens and bathrooms
were once considered the biggest
selling point of a property, the
majority of homeowners (87.5 per
cent) believe that a garden view,
which can be created by installing
bi-folding doors, can add up to
£15,000 onto the value of the
home.
Many people are still unaware of
the variety of bi-fold door options
available. Origin offers a three
door alternative to patio doors, as
well as more complex layouts such
as eight door sets, configurations
that can be used as both French
Doors and bi-fold doors and
even 90 degree corner sets with
moving corner posts. The doors
can also be completely tailored to
the homeowner’s needs. Origin
offers a choice of over 150 colour
options, various wood finishes
and door handles, enabling
homeowners to express their
creativity through their choice of
door colour.
Aluminium bi-fold doors
are virtually maintenance-free.
The strength and durability of
aluminium means it is more
resistant to flex, expansion and
contraction when in direct
sunlight, so requires very little
maintenance to stay in good
working order. In fact, Origin
offers an industry leading 20 year
guarantee for its doors.
Finally, selling aluminium doors
