Bifold Door FAQs
Everything You Need to Know About Our Bifold Doors
1
What makes a great bifold door?
Three things: how much glass you see, how easily it moves, and how solid it feels when closed. Our Versatali system wins on all three. The sightlines are slim, so a five-panel run is mostly glass. The panels ride on stainless steel rollers, so one finger moves the whole wall. And when you close it, multi-point locks clamp every panel to the frame — it feels, and tests, like a fixed wall.
2
How many panels do I need?
A rule of thumb: each panel is 700 mm to 1,200 mm wide. A 2-panel bifold suits openings from about 1.8 m. Three or four panels suit the typical 3 m rear opening. Five to seven panels build a full glass wall across a big extension. Odd numbers let one panel work as a traffic door — open it like a normal door for the school run without folding the whole run back.
3
Will it be cold in winter?
No. Every panel is thermally broken aluminium with argon-filled double glazing and warm-edge spacers. U-values start at 1.2 W/m²K — better than Building Regulations demand — and drop further with triple glazing. The triple gaskets and weather-brushed track keep draughts out even on exposed sites.
4
Is a bifold secure?
Ours are PAS 24 tested — the British break-in standard. You get multi-point shoot bolts on every panel, anti-lift rollers, internally beaded glass and key-locking handles. Add laminated glass for the highest spec.
5
Level threshold — no step, no trip
Choose a low aluminium threshold recessed into the floor and the inside flows into the garden with nothing to step over. It is Part M friendly for accessibility, safe for small children, and it makes the space feel twice the size when open.
6
Supply-only or fitted — your call
Homeowners usually choose supply-and-fit: our in-house team measures, installs, seals and hands over with a 10-year guarantee. Builders and installers buy supply-only at trade prices: frames arrive square, pre-gasketed, sized to the millimetre, with a full technical pack. Same doors, same guarantee, your choice.

Our in-house installation team handles measuring, fitting and aftercare. One guarantee covers the lot. Perfect for homeowners who want a stress-free, white-glove experience - and most of our single-site residential work is done this way.
Supply only to trade
Builders, installers and main contractors get trade pricing, engineered drawings, a detailed technical pack and a dedicated phone number. Product arrives pre-gasketed, square and ready to fit. Used by dozens of builders across the Midlands every month.
Mixed delivery
Some main contractors choose us because we can switch between supply-only and supply-and-fit on the same job. That flexibility means no trade disputes about scope, and a single point of accountability.
Front Doors & Panel Doors
Finish the Look From Front to Back
You've opened up the back of your home — now make the front entrance match. Our aluminium front doors are PAS 24 secure, Part L ready, and available in the same 200+ RAL colours as your bifolds. Choose from 120+ panel designs, optional ekey fingerprint entry, and dual-colour finishes. One aesthetic, right through the house.
75 mm multi-chambered frames. Concealed 3D-adjustable hinges. 10-year guarantee. Bank-vault secure, finished like a boutique.
While You're Transforming the House — Replace the Windows Too
If you're already putting bifold doors in, it's the perfect time to upgrade the windows to match. Our stepped aluminium windows deliver the classic rebated casement look in a slim, ultra-strong aluminium frame — with the same colour palette, the same Part L U-values, and the same 10-year guarantee.
Stepped profile creates natural shadow lines and superior weather deflection. PAS 24 secure. 24–44 mm glazing. Any RAL colour, dual-colour available. Supplied to match your bifolds exactly.
Our online visualiser lets you try out different frame colours and finishes against a photo of a real home. Upload a photo of your house and our tool swaps your window and door frames to any RAL colour so you can compare Anthracite Grey against Jet Black, or Heritage Green against Moss Green, on your actual elevation. It takes 30 seconds and it saves hours of second-guessing.
Once you have decided, send the visualisation with your quote enquiry. We will price the exact specification and schedule the survey.

One team, one guarantee, one mission - every UK home sealed in aluminium
Glazed Window Systems Ltd is a West Midlands aluminium door and window specialist. We were founded on a simple idea: the UK home deserves better glass. For too many years the default was chunky uPVC, swollen timber frames, and composite front doors that sag after a decade. We wanted to change the default - to make slim, secure, thermally excellent aluminium doors and windows the first choice for every self-builder, every extension, every full renovation, and every forward-looking developer.
We operate from a dedicated fabrication and distribution base in Birmingham, delivering right across the UK. We supply builders and installers on supply-only terms with trade pricing. We also run an in-house install team for homeowners who want a stress-free start-to-finish job. And we partner with a hand-picked network of builders for full kitchen extensions, side-return builds, two-storey extensions, and conservatory roof replacements - projects where glazing is the hero feature.
Everything we sell is Part L compliant. Every door is PAS 24 secure. Every frame is powder coated for a 25-year life. Every installation carries a 10-year guarantee. Those are the basics and we never compromise on them. Beyond the basics we compete on detail - concealed 3D-adjustable hinges, triple gaskets, flush thresholds, astragal bar bonding, soft-close dampers, ekey fingerprint options on front doors. The fiddly details are where a good door beats a cheap door.
Glazed Window Systems is a West Midlands aluminium specialist. We fabricate and fit Versatali bifold doors from our Birmingham base and deliver supply-only to trade across the UK. Every bifold is Part L compliant, PAS 24 secure, powder coated for a 25-year life and covered by a 10-year guarantee.
