Slim Frames, Big View
The aluminium frame is narrower than your finger. Closed, you see the garden, not the frame.
20mm frames



Ultimate Home Solutions supplies and fits new bi-fold doors throughout Airdrie, from the Victorian sandstone around Clarkston and the town centre to the inter-war semis at Cairnhill and Rawyards and the family houses out at Petersburn and Chapelhall. Airdrie sits high and open, so the weathering of the frame and the threshold detail matter more here than they do in a sheltered street. One surveyor settles the opening, the lintel and the levels, and trusted installers are finished in 1 to 2 days with all workmanship guaranteed.
A bi-fold is three choices really. The panel count the span supports, the stacking direction and the traffic door position, and whether the threshold finishes flush or carries a weather upstand. On an exposed Airdrie elevation that last one gets extra thought.

20mm framesA plastic barrier inside every frame stops cold coming through the metal, with argon-filled double or triple glazing.
U-value from 1.2Fold them left, right or split. One panel works as a normal door, so you can nip out without folding the whole run back.
2 to 7 panelsBrush and rubber seals on every panel, and a drainage track that copes with driving rain, not just a calm afternoon.
Class 4 weather ratedEach panel bolts into the frame at the top and the bottom. Harder to get through than most front doors.

Flush or weatheredI loved the experience. The finished product was far beyond my expectations and the workload was quickly carried out and completed. The workers when they arrived were polite and maintained high quality standards. Further, they ensured the mess they made was cleaned up at the end of each day. Overall, I would highly recommend this service to others as the business is very professional.
Brilliant communication, work done to a high standard and good prices. Would definitely use this company again.
Great experience 5* from beginning to end. I had new windows fitted & a new front door really happy with the whole process & fitted within 4 weeks from ordering. Would definitely use again.

A person who fits bi-folds answers the phone, not a recorded menu. Seven days a week, with most messages answered inside the hour.
Call 0800 029 3875It comes down to the opening width and the panel count, aluminium against uPVC, and the glass chosen. Forming or widening the opening adds to the figure and the surveyor prices it with the doors rather than leaving you to find a builder. The survey is free and the quote puts you under no obligation. Various deposit options are available.
It does. On a high, open Airdrie elevation the surveyor pays close attention to the threshold detail, the drainage path and how the frame is sealed into the reveal, because driving rain will find any shortcut. The gasket line and the cill weathering get more thought than they would on a sheltered wall.
Usually yes. It needs a lintel sized for the span and temporary support while the work is done, and the surveyor will check what is bearing above before agreeing a width. Structural work and doors come in one contract.
Panels generally run about 600mm to 1000mm, so a three metre opening comes out at three or four. The surveyor measures the true structural opening and then works out the fold direction and the best spot for the traffic door.
Not as specified. The aluminium sets are thermally broken, with an insulating barrier through the frame rather than bare metal, and the glass is energy rated with a warm-edge spacer. uPVC holds heat slightly better and costs less.
Flush looks best where paving runs out level, but on an exposed site the drainage has to be right or you are asking for trouble. The surveyor will tell you honestly which your levels and your elevation can carry.
One to two days for the doors. Where an opening is being formed, the structural days go on top and the surveyor explains the running order beforehand so you know how long the wall stays open.
Multipoint locking on the traffic door, shootbolts into head and cill from the folding panels, and laminated glass where you want more. Tell the surveyor if the doors are hidden from view and the hardware can reflect that.
