Aluminium or uPVC Bifold Doors — Which Is Right for You?

Bi Fold Aluminium Doors: Slim, Strong, Built to Last

Aluminium bifold doors are the premium choice, and for good reason. Aluminium is far stronger than plastic, which allows much slimmer frames and bigger panes of glass. The result is more daylight, cleaner sightlines, and that striking modern look you see in high-end extensions. Thanks to modern thermal break technology, today's aluminium doors are also highly energy efficient — the old idea that metal frames are cold is simply outdated. Add powder-coated finishes that resist fading for decades, and aluminium becomes the smart long-term investment.

uPVC Bifold Doors: Practical Performance on a Budget

uPVC bifold doors cost noticeably less than aluminium, and their multi-chambered frames provide naturally good insulation. For smaller openings — two or three panels — they're a perfectly sensible choice. The trade-off? uPVC frames are chunkier, come in fewer colours, and can flex on very wide spans. If your opening is over three metres, or you want the slimmest possible frames, we'll usually steer you toward aluminium. But if budget is the priority, quality uPVC does the job well.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Are aluminium bifold doors better than uPVC?

Aluminium bifold doors offer slimmer frames, larger glass panels, more colour choices, and greater strength on wide openings. uPVC bifold doors cost less and insulate well on smaller spans. For openings over three metres or a premium finish, aluminium is usually the better investment; for tighter budgets and smaller openings, uPVC works well. 

How much do bifold doors cost in South London?

Prices depend on material, size, and panel count. uPVC bifold doors are typically the most affordable route, while aluminium systems like Cortizo cost more but last longer and achieve slimmer frames. We provide free, fixed quotes for your exact opening — with aluminium and uPVC priced side by side so you can compare. 

What makes Cortizo bi fold doors special?

Cortizo bi fold doors combine ultra-slim aluminium profiles with deep thermal breaks, achieving U-values as low as 0.8 W/m²K on the Bifold Plus system. They’re tested to PAS 24 security standards, support up to 14 panels, and offer traffic-door and level-threshold options for everyday practicality. 

How many panels can a bifold door have?

Most homes use between 2 and 7 panels, which suits openings from roughly 1.8 to 6 metresCortizo systems can extend up to 14 panels for very large apertures. An odd number of panels lets you include a traffic door — a single leaf that opens like a normal door for daily use. 

Do bifold doors need planning permission?

Usually not. Replacing existing doors or fitting bifolds into a standard rear opening typically falls under Permitted Development. Larger structural openings may need Building Regulations approval for the lintel and safety glazing. We handle compliance and certification as part of every installation.

Yes. From our Thornton Heath base we cover Croydon and the whole of South London, including Bromley, Sutton, Mitcham, Streatham, and Wimbledon. Send us your postcode and we’ll confirm coverage and book a free survey.
