AluFold Direct has added a new Premium Bifold door to support installers aiming to upsell to high-end residential properties.

The new bifold comes with PAS24 security accreditation, and wind, water and air permeability performance ratings of Class A3 for wind resistance, Class 9A for water tightness and Class 4 for air permeability. It can also be used with triple glazing to achieve U-Values of 1.1 W/m2K, which means it complies with the upcoming changes to Part L of the Building Regs.

In terms of configuration, maximum panel width is 1200mm, height is 3000mm and weight is 120kg. Inward or outward opening can be from 1 to 14 sashes and there is the option of fully openable 90° corners without a mullion. There are also four different threshold heights, including an embedded low threshold for maximum accessibility.

The range features sightlines of 120mm and contemporary hardware which helps to differentiate it from AluFold’s standard offering but, as managing director Russell Yates explained: “The fact is that there’s nothing standard about the AluFold Standard Bifold. It’s a great product with proven quality and performance and lots of customisation options and it remains central to our offering. However, this new Premium Bifold gives customers another string to their bow and means they can potentially upsell to homeowners and developers who want something different.”

The new door comes pre-assembled from AluFold Direct for quicker installation and comes with a built-in adjustable jamb to save installers time and hassle onsite.
