Hi!

I would guess at this being 7016 Anthracite grey or 7021 Black grey, it is hard to see from the photo, but I hope this helps and points you in the right direction!

Matt or satin aluminium bifold doors

Hello Verity, the most popular choice is not always the best, anyway, my understanding is that with aluminium doors / windows the colour will usually be part of a polyester powder coated finish which is very durable and virtually maintenance free. Assumed not an anodised finish option. This means there is unlikely to be a difference in performance or longevity for matt or semi matt / satin finishes. I thought there would be an option for gloss also? [Some paint manufacturers grade the matt / gloss levels in 10% increments]. With these descriptions it's all about light reflectance - gloss reflects a lot of light [therefore shiny appearance], matt doesn't reflect as much [thus a duller appearance]. I think this is down to personal preference really and trying to establish what colour and sheen will look best in your room or space. If it's likely there will be a lot of shiny, hard surfaces [mirrors, tiled floors, lots of glass, etc] a matt may be better to help balance things out. If more matt surfaces [carpets, textiles, matt wall paint, etc.] a satin may be best to help balance. If choosing a matt finish this will also show up oily marks more obviously until they are cleaned off appropriately. Hope this helps, happy choosing!

Hi Jonathan, A nice big span like that will really open up the extension to the outdoor space and will look amazing. Crittall will provide the style and class, and with the wide span I would look at putting maybe three sets of double doors seperated by frames so on a nice day you can open all three sets of doors and get a real link to the outside. They'll be quick and easy to shut and you can adopt just the one double door as your frequent use door if the weather is unkind. See our website for more information on Crittall Doors and Windows and download the brochures. The example photo shows two sets of double doors in frames over a six meter span. Note: One more thing to consider is the lead time - Crittall has a lead time of 16-20 weeks, so if you do plan on installing Crittall, get the order in within plenty of time. Bifolding doors do not need to look so modern and (dare I say) a bit sterile - horizontal glazing bars can provide the contemporary look if you are after the Crittall style. The big advantage of bifolds is you can get a clear 95% width opening, so in good weather, you really are at one with the outdoors. You should either look to fit an odd number of doors all folding to one side so you can have one frequent use "traffic" door, or an even number of doors split in the middle so you can have two traffic doors in the middle that act like standard patio doors. (With big span like your plans show, I'd go for the latter.) To carry off the industrial look, you would need to get bifold doors with very fine sightlines, such as Sunflex SF55, with proper horizontal glazing bars (not superficial stick on bars). See the bifolding doors available on our website. If budget is a concern (big extension projects can quickly run away with costs) then you may wish to consider something like the "Heritage Aluminium" range, which matches the contemporary style of steel windows, but comes at an aluminium price. Perhaps not quite as prestige or exquisite as steel, but a very popular product with some good advantages. The YES Glazing Solutions staff will be happy advise and assist, and we can provide a no obligation quote after a few simple questions on the telephone. I wish you the very best with what will undoubtedly be a fabulous project Jonathan.

Are you sure you need blinds? Why don't you wait and see how it is? I think blinds and curtains can take the wow factor away from big expanses of glass. I'm in Scotland, south facing garden and no need for blinds

Do they have to be tilt and turn windows? My mum had them in her house. The frames need to be wide to house the mechanism. I prefer casement windows.
