Slim framed bi fold doors???

6 years ago

Hello! I am researching a kitchen project. We can't have sliding doors as we don't have a very wide gap to fill (c. 2.7m). I was wondering what the slimmest framed bi fold doors you can get? Any recommendations for supplier would be most grateful. Thank you

Try the ultra-slim slide-and-pivot doors; 20mm frames! Company is Sunseeker Doors.

A client of ours in Wimbledon loves them. Please see our projects page and click on the Wimbledon project to see them installed.

I hope this is helpful, best of luck with your project.

To clarify - the project is visible on our Houzz projects page. You won't find it on our website yet as only photographed this week. Cheers

Thanks all for your comments - really helpful. I think this is the problem when you are dealing with a period property and adding a side return, how to incorporate all the things that would just happen if you were building from scratch. Our builder has now proposed recessing the soil pipe, approx 100 cms diam, into the outside wall with the water down pipe in front. His thinking is that it would be easier for us to access and also maintaining the aesthetics of the room. The builder is a tidy worker and either option is cost neutral so there is no saving to him. I wish I could post a picture but the only docs that I have are the plans with our details plastered all over them, so I will do my best to explain. The ground floor back of the house will be wall to wall and measure approx 5.5m wide. Looking at the property on the right there will be 3m wide by 2m tall bi fold doors and on the left 1.2m wide and 2m tall single solid pane of glass for the side return. So there is only a column of less than .5m between the solid pane of glass and bi fold doors available for use. The builder will use the column area to host the down pipe from the roof and the soil pipe will be recessed into the brickwork behind it. Note this soil pipe will supports 2 full bathrooms and 1 separate loo = all on upper floors. Also, there is a new soil pipe which will support the loo in the ground floor utility room. I am nervous of sounds inside the dining area especially as the dining table will be literally a foot from the proposed internal boxing covering the soil pipe. I have read lots on the internet maybe 60% say they have no noise from the soil pipe boxed in the room and 40% say it’s noisy. I have even seen a boxed soil pipe attached to a kitchen island and between appliances/cupboards – not ideal but there seems to be no reason why it can’t be placed anywhere. Thanks for reading and advice.

Good morning, we supply and install the German designed and manufactured SUNFLEX SF75h timber bifold doors which are the only German system to carry a BSI Kitemark and Secured by Design certification. Unlike other timber systems the SF75h has slim sightlines (122mm) that maximise the amount of glass, includes a continuous double gasket seal for supreme weather performance, and can be fitted to an opening up to 25 metres wide (12 panels in each direction). The doors can be designed to open inwards or outwards and you can choose between a flush track or a weathered track. The doors are manufactured from Meranti, Nordic Pine, Larch, Oak or Douglas Fir and are available with a wide range of stain or paint finishes. SUNFLEX have been manufacturing bifold doors for more than thirty years and IDSystems has been by far the largest supplier and installer of SUNFLEX doors in the UK for the last seventeen years. Based in Norwich our 15 highly skilled installation teams cover the entire country, including London and the South East.

That's really helpful thank you so much! They look amazing! I do find bi fold a bit big and clunky so it's great to find a more attractive alternative! Thanks again, hannah
