Scotland is renowned for its unpredictable weather, but when we do get warm spells it’s good to have the luxury of opening your patio doors to allow the light and air to circulate around your home. Traditional French doors, although beautiful, require space to allow them to open inwards. Sliding doors, such as the ones in our Wolfline range can be custom designed to suit smaller homes and are also available in larger than standard sizes. However, if you love the idea of being able to open your patio doors as widely as possible so that the aperture provides an uninterrupted view of your outside space, then you may want to consider investing in Solarlux aluminium bi-fold doors from EKCO Architectural Doors and Windows or Norwood aluminium clad timber patio doors (aluclad) from our sister company Wolfline.
Aluminium bi-fold doors are precision-engineered with multiple frames hinged together which fold up, much like a concertina, thus allowing a wider opening than traditional doors. Our frames are either made using FSC certified sustainable softwood clad with aluminium, or simply aluminium on its own. But why aluminium? Because it is one of the most eco-friendly materials on Earth which can be recycled indefinitely without losing any of its original properties. Combined with double or triple-glazing our bi-fold doors provide excellent insulation, energy efficiency and security for both you, your family, and your home.
In recent years, bifold doors have become a popular option in new-build homes and older homes, creating space and light in an innovative and sophisticated way. When you’re looking for bi-folding doors, EKCO has many options available.

From sleek modern designs to a classic Georgian aesthetic with our Origin Heritage Collection, we give you the power to make your perfect bifold doors a reality with a functional and fashionable design that complements your home and adds space to your living quarters.

Bi fold doors or concertina folding patio doors as they are sometime referred to have become one of the most popular home improvement upgrades in the past 3 years. Thanks to TV shows such as Grand Designs helping to spark our imaginations when it comes to interior design ideas it seems everyone now wants bi-fold doors in their home, and why not?
You might think of timber or white UPVC folding doors are you only options but you would be wrong. Aluminium folding doors are now the choice material for manufacturers simply because they do not warp or tarnish unlike classic timber or wooden bi-fold doors.
Aluminium has a much higher thermal efficiency rating as opposed to wooden frames which means your home not only looks great with your new bi-folding doors installed in your choice of colour, but you’re not wasting energy on reheating your living space from the warm air escaping through gaps in the framework or doors. EKCO Architectural doors have been certified independently at U-value of up to 1.3W/m2k which surpasses the British Building Regulation requirements.
