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 across Coatbridge, from the sandstone villas at Blairhill and Dunbeth with their long rear gardens to the semis and terraces through Kirkshaws and Greenend and the larger family houses at Drumpellier and Carnbroe. Nearly every job starts with a patio door that drags or a back room that turns its back on the garden. One surveyor settles the opening, the lintel and the threshold, and trusted installers are done in 1 to 2 days with all workmanship guaranteed.
Three decisions make a bi-fold work. The panel count the span allows, the stacking direction and the traffic door position, and whether the threshold runs flush to the patio or carries a weather upstand. All three are settled at the house, not over the phone.

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 weatheredExcellent service and communication from Ultimate Home Solutions from start to finish. Requested a visit to discuss the supply and fitting of new front and back UPVC doors to our property. Appointment arranged very quickly and Liam arrived to discuss our options and give us background to the Company. There was no pressure from start to finish. Request to think about it overnight was welcomed and I phoned to proceed...
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.
Did what they said they would do and on time.
Every review here was left by a customer on Google or Trustpilot and appears exactly as written.
A single survey covers the span, the lintel and the levels, a single contract covers the builder work and the doors, and the panels are hung and weathered by fitters who do it week after week. Households from Whifflet to Bargeddie said that was the appeal, and all workmanship is guaranteed.

From design to installation, one point of contact.
The online designer is for our Palladio range, the premium end of what we fit. It does not cover the other door ranges on this page. Choose a style, try it in every colour, compare the glass patterns and set the handle, the letterplate and the knocker.
Opens the Palladio door designer in a new tab. Free to use, nothing to download, and no obligation.
Someone comes out free of charge, measures the opening and the floor level, and talks through panel counts, which way the doors should stack and where the traffic door sits.
A free quote follows, setting out the panel layout, the frame colour inside and out, the glass and the threshold. There is no obligation and nobody will chase you.
Bi-fold installations usually take 1 to 2 days. The old opening is prepared, the track is levelled, the panels are hung and adjusted, and everything is sealed and tested before we leave.
We fold and unfold the doors with you, show you the locks and the maintenance, then leave the certificate and care notes. All workmanship is guaranteed.

Call 0800 029 3875It rests on how wide the opening is and therefore the number of panels, on aluminium against uPVC, and on the glass specified. Forming or widening the opening adds to it and we price that in rather than handing you off to a builder. The survey is free and the quote leaves you free to decline. Various deposit options are available.
Very often yes, though stone needs more care than brick and the surveyor will want to see the wall and what sits above it before agreeing a span. A correctly sized lintel and proper temporary support are essential, and both come inside the same contract as the doors.
Usually three or four, since panels tend to run between roughly 600mm and 1000mm. The surveyor measures the true structural opening and then works through the fold direction and where the traffic door is most useful for everyday coming and going.
Not as we specify them. The aluminium sets are thermally broken, with an insulating barrier running through the frame, and the glass is energy rated with a warm-edge spacer. uPVC holds heat a little better still and costs less to buy.
Where the levels and drainage allow, yes, and it is worth it if paving runs out from the room. The water has to be dealt with, which is a survey decision. Where it cannot be done properly a low weathered upstand is the better choice and we will say so plainly.
What panel count will the opening allow?. Where an opening is being formed the structural days sit on top, and the surveyor talks the order through beforehand so you know how long the back of the house will be open.
Multipoint locking on the traffic door, shootbolts from the folding leaves into head and cill, and laminated glass where you want it. The hardware is chosen at survey, and mention it if the doors are out of sight from the road.
Aluminium has the slimmest frames, the widest colour range and carries more glass per panel. uPVC is cheaper and slightly warmer. On a smaller opening the difference in frame width is less noticeable than most people imagine.
