Aluminium bifold doors are a popular option for homes as they have so many advantages compared to their timber and PVCu alternatives. Not only do bifold doors deliver ample natural light and create a seamless connection to the outside, but aluminium bifold doors from aïr offer a strong yet lightweight composition that requires minimal maintenance. This makes them the perfect addition to contemporary-style properties, thanks to their simple, yet striking, design.
If you’re planning a renovation, new-build project or extension, glazing is a very important factor to consider. The right glazing solution can mean the difference between a light, bright and airy room and a dark, dim one. That’s why aluminium bifold doors should be considered when you’re thinking about glazing.
Despite their countless benefits, there is one question that is often at the top of everyone’s list when considering glazing options for a project – how much do aluminium bifold doors cost? Read more to find out!
Deciding what you want
Before looking into quotes for aluminium bifold doors, you should really take the time to think about what you want. There are so many options to choose from, so narrowing down your choices will give you a clearer picture of costings.
One of the greatest things that come with aluminium bifold doors is that they can be designed to suit any property and space, while blending into the design of properties thanks to the countless RAL colours and special finishes available to co-ordinate with any existing or desired aesthetic. However, the configuration of aluminium bifold doors is the main factor that will impact the overall costs of aluminium bifold doors – e.g., the more panels you have, the more the cost will go up.
Figuring out what type of glass you want to use in your aluminium bifold doors can also impact the overall cost. You will need to choose between double and triple glazing, and the main difference between the two is energy and cost efficiency. Deciding between the two will ultimately come down to your budget and whether or not greater thermal efficiency is a priority.
How much do aluminium bifold doors cost?
Once you’ve decided on your glass and configuration, you can start looking at quotes and get a realistic view of how much they are going to be. As a rough guide, you should expect to spend around £1,500 – £2,000 for aluminium bifold doors with 2-3 panels, and anywhere to £5,000 – £6,000 for up to 7-8 panels.
Aluminium bifold doors tend to be on the higher end of the scale when it comes to costings, but due to their superior durability and resilient nature, they tend to be a better investment than PVCu or timber bifold doors in the long run. Any glazing product can last for many years when treated with the right care, but aluminium bifold doors tend to last the longest – around 20 years – with minimal maintenance.
