01

Clean lines, carefully specified

Aluminium provides the strength needed for large folding panels while retaining a refined frame. Configuration, traffic door, stacking direction, threshold and access all need to be settled for the individual opening.

Manufactured in Bristol

Our Bristol team translates the agreed panel layout, dimensions, glass and finish into a made-to-measure order. We offer both supply-only and surveyed local installation routes.

  • Made to measure
  • Clear specification before manufacture
  • Supply only or local installation

03

Coordinated across the project

Bifold doors can be planned with nearby windows and fixed glazing so the frame colour and sightlines relate to the whole room. Panel divisions are chosen for both the opening width and the view when the doors are closed.

Planning and specification

What to consider when designing a bifold opening that works in daily use

A good quotation begins with the property and the way the opening will be used. We look at number of panels, traffic door, stacking direction, threshold, drainage, glass and structural opening. The best answer is not always the same for every room, so it is worth considering privacy, daylight, furniture positions and how often an opening will be used before settling on a specification.

Master Plastics can discuss wide openings that connect kitchens, extensions and living spaces with the garden. For a simpler two-leaf arrangement, compare our uPVC and aluminium French doors. We manufacture made-to-measure products in Bristol and can provide supply only or professional installation across Bristol and nearby areas, depending on the project. Installed work is surveyed before manufacture; supply-only customers remain responsible for confirming their order sizes and fitting requirements.

From first enquiry to finished order

A plan of the room and patio helps us choose panel count, traffic door and stacking direction. Structural opening, finished floor levels and drainage should be resolved with the builder before final survey.

The price reflects the actual Sheerline configuration, glass, colour, threshold and hardware, together with access and installation. Wider openings and heavier panels require careful specification rather than a price per metre.

Sheerline Prestige detail

Configure the panels around everyday access

A bifold is a set of moving panels, not simply a glazed wall. The useful design depends on where the panels stack, whether a traffic door is needed and how the threshold relates to the structure, internal floor and external drainage.

  • Configurations up to seven panes where dimensions permit
  • Single, French and folding arrangements within the Prestige family
  • Panel weights up to 120 kg within the manufacturer’s system limits
  • Double- or triple-glazed specifications selected for the project

Sheerline publishes U-values of 1.4 W/m²K double glazed and 1.0 W/m²K triple glazed for qualifying Prestige bifold configurations. Final sizes, glass and performance are checked before manufacture.

A finished opening, not a catalogue image

This Bristol project combines dark aluminium bifold frames with a newly finished patio. The installation shows why panel split, stacking direction, threshold and the external level need to be planned as one detail.

Questions about bifold doors

How many bifold panels can I have?

Sheerline Prestige bifolds can be configured up to seven panes, subject to overall dimensions, panel weights and the selected arrangement. We design the split and stacking direction around the opening.

What is a traffic door?

A traffic door is a single panel that can be opened for everyday access without folding the complete set. It is particularly useful when the bifolds are the regular route to the garden.

What must be planned around the threshold?

Internal and external floor levels, drainage, weather exposure and the supporting structure all affect threshold design. These details should be resolved before the opening and patio are finished.
