Choose bi-folds that are big on looks and comfort

Korniche bi-folding doors offer great views while keeping warmth in and cold out

The beauty of bi-fold doors is that they can be drawn back fully to reveal panoramic views of the garden and create that much sought after inside-outside link.

But while that wide expanse of glass can make a real statement in any season, you still want your home to be cosy in winter.

The new Korniche bi-folding doors can offer all the impact of a fully glazed wall – or walls – but not at the cost of warmth. They’re extremely thermally efficient, resistant to wind and watertight to withstand rain, sleet and snow.

The aluminium bi-folds are an expansion of the award-winning Korniche range of rooflights. Made with the same flair for engineering and design innovation, they complement the aluminium lanterns on any extension project.

With configurations of up to seven sashes, which can be opened in a combination of ways to suit your room layout and lifestyle, the robust bi-folds have slim profiles, concealed lock works, colour-matched trickle air vents and bespoke handles for an uncluttered aesthetic. With a choice of more than 150 RAL colours in matt, satin or gloss, the frames themselves can be powder-coated in as natural or as vivid a shade as you want, with a pin-sharp, scratch-resistant finish.

Like the roof lanterns, they have many advanced features that make them a superior product in the glazing market. These include enhanced security standards, with a Yale 3 star locking barrel and robust Fuhr main door lock, to reassure homeowners of their safety.

Further security is offered in an ergonomic shootbolt handle with anti-backdrive feature. This means that if the doors are accidentally left unlocked, someone trying to forcibly enter won’t be able to rotate the handle fully to open the door.

Even the widest combination of doors glides smoothly open and closed thanks to a unique pivoting axle in the wheel that allows them to follow any undulations in the stainless steel tracks, and the load is spread to reduce wear from regular use. The doors are extremely low-maintenance – all that’s needed is the occasional clean to ensure the tracks are free of small pieces of debris.

Korniche has a strong reputation for service and reliability in providing roof lanterns to customers, and want to continue that with their new bi-folding doors. Each one is delivered in protective packaging together with an easy-to-follow installation guide – and the bi-folds come with a 10-year warranty as standard.

This attention to detail is driven by the hope that Korniche bi-folding doors will become synonymous with quality, and the one homeowners ask for by name when ordering new doors for their project. For more details about Korniche bi-folding doors, go to korniche.co.uk
