One of the first questions homeowners ask when considering bifold doors is how much they are likely to cost.
There isn’t a single price that applies to every opening because bifold doors are manufactured to suit individual projects.
What affects the cost?
The main factors include:
- Overall width and height
- Number of panels
- Aluminium system
- Opening configuration
- Frame colour
- Glazing specification
- Threshold requirements
- Supply only or installation
- Removal of existing doors
- Any associated building work
A smaller three-panel bifold will generally require a different budget from a large five or six-panel installation.
Supply only vs supply and installation
Supply-only bifold doors can be suitable for builders and homeowners who already have an experienced installer.
A supply-and-installation quotation includes the professional fitting element and can also incorporate removal of existing doors where required.
Be careful comparing headline prices
Online prices do not always represent identical specifications.
When comparing quotations, check the actual system, dimensions, glass, colour, configuration, hardware, installation and exactly what work is included.
A cheap headline figure isn’t particularly useful if the specification required for your property costs considerably more.
Getting an accurate quotation
Providing approximate width and height measurements can usually allow us to prepare an initial quotation.
A professional survey can then establish the final manufacturing dimensions where required.
