Aluminium added to PVC-U bi-fold range
24th March 2015

Trade fabricator DIRECT TRADE is introducing ALUK bi-folds alongside its existing PVC-U range in response to forecasts that aluminium could take one third of a potential 70,000 a year bi-fold market in the next few years.

Direct Trade Managing Director Steve Green said of the move: “We’ve spent several months perfecting the manufacturing process so our customers can rely on the accuracy and technical durability of our bi-folds. We’ve even installed our own in-house rig to ensure consistent quality. But perhaps most importantly, it’s the service associated with bringing aluminium bifolds to the traditional PVC door and window market on which we’ve focused. By adopting the quick turnaround order-to-delivery mentality that the PVC trade sector has perfected, we have significantly reduced the lead time on our bifold doors, and can offer a range of colours in a timescale to suit the customer. We also deliver direct to site.

He added: “We understand that some installers may not have fitted aluminium before or will only do a few jobs in it each year, so it’s important that they have a helpful point of contact for advice. With a fully-trained team of bi-fold specialists, Direct Trade customer services are already helping installers across the country with technical know-how and bespoke advice at the planning and design stages and even during installation. helpful support that’s underpinned our business for the last 16 years.”
