Shut and open

The same room, twice

This is the bit a photograph of a closed door never quite conveys. One render, one room, five sashes: press the buttons and watch the back wall disappear.

Which way the sashes stack is your decision, not ours. All one way keeps the whole opening clear from a single side; split from the centre halves the stack on each end; a traffic door lets you nip out without folding anything at all.

Finishes

The bit people agonise over

Colour and hardware change how a door reads more than anything else on the spec sheet. These are the ones we list, not a paint chart.

Bifold frame colours

Dual colours are one finish outside and another inside. A custom RAL is sprayed to order, so allow longer for it.
