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 Kirkintilloch, from the Victorian villas of Lenzie with their deep rear gardens to the family houses at Harestanes, Hillhead and Oxgang, the newer streets on the old Woodilee ground and the cottages out at Twechar and Milton of Campsie. Gardens here often look north to the Campsies or sit a few steps from the canal towpath, and a narrow patio door with a heavy central frame wastes all of it. A bi-fold stacks flat to one side so the room and the garden read as one space.
A wide glazed wall facing the Campsies gets the best of the light and the worst of the northerly, so the build matters more than the brochure photograph. Each panel bolts into the frame top and bottom, the seals are brush and rubber on every leaf, and the drainage track is rated Class 4 for weather. The aluminium sections run about 20mm, so what you look at is the garden rather than the frame.

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 was really pleased with the professionalism of the firm who replaced four windows with a triple glazed upgrade. The job was completed in one day. The workmen were very good and the quality was excellent.
From start to finish very professional, fantastic job looks great.

Every review here was left by a customer on Google or Trustpilot and appears exactly as written.
One survey settles the opening, the lintel and the threshold, one contract covers the structural work and the doors, and the panels are hung, adjusted and sealed by fitters who do this week in and week out. Lenzie to Twechar, it is the same visit.

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 3875Most jobs land between £2,500 and £6,500 installed. The number of panels, whether you go aluminium or uPVC and the glazing specification decide where yours sits, with any structural work priced separately once the wall has been looked at. Various deposit options are available.
Yes. Widening an opening means a structural lintel, usually steel, and we take care of the propping and the lintel as part of the same job rather than leaving you to find a builder. A structural engineer is brought in where the span needs one. Building warrant advice is given at the survey.
They often work very well there, because the rear elevations are usually plain and the gardens are long. Frame colours can be different inside and out, so a dark grey outside and a lighter finish in the room is a straightforward ask. If the property is listed or sits in a conservation area, check with East Dunbartonshire Council before ordering, and we will raise it at the survey if it looks relevant.
Anything from 2 to 7. Three and four panel sets cover most rear walls on a family house. What matters as much as the count is which way they stack and where the traffic door goes, since that is the panel you will use every day without folding the rest back.
Aluminium if the opening is wide or you want the frames barely there, because it holds a long span and takes any RAL colour. uPVC if the budget is the deciding factor and the opening is modest. Both are thermally broken and both are argon filled.
The frames carry a thermal break so the cold does not travel through the metal, the glazing is argon filled double or triple, and U-values start from 1.2. With the panels shut and sealed the room holds its heat, which is not something an old aluminium patio door manages.
Every panel bolts into the frame at the top and the bottom, with multi-point locking on the traffic door. A properly specified bi-fold is harder to get past than most back doors, and the glass is toughened.
A flush track can sit level with a patio or decking for a step free walk out, which is what most people here ask for. On an exposed elevation a weathered sill does a better job of shedding water. The surveyor will say which suits your ground levels.
