Steel Framed Bi Fold Doors?

[Thesunrising]

Having work done on our kitchen and dining room which will involve installign two sets of doors leading out onto the garden. Bi fold doors seem to be the best option, but i've been wondering about the possibility of looking at steel framed doors (in a kind of french patio door style, with the horizontal transoms/frames - as in the photo i've attached). Have seen several on Pinterest but haven't managed to identify any UK based companies that might do similar to guage whether or not they might be in our price bracket.

I suspect they are going to be a whack more than the normal wood/upvc/aluminium types - but if anyone has had these installed and can tell me otherwise that would be great! Thanks.

Er... pass - but it's only when I've googled steel frames that this style has come up. I've not seen any aluminium framed doors that have such slimline frames - i'm happy to be corrected though!

Following. Love these. My pinterest boards are full of them. Have a feeling they are loadsamoney.

You could try Ideal Combi - they have a new range of aluminium frames which are pretty slimline www.idealcombi.com/DOMESTIC/PRODUCTS/Product_Series/Futurai.aspx.

I think they're called crittall doors, if that helps with googling

Hi there thesunrising. Have you found any supplier of these kind of windows as I am trying but finding very difficult! Thank you.

Megabucks, I priced up something similar and the quote I got back was 11k

They were on Grand Designs this week. They said it was a company in Bognor Regis if that helps?

Have you had a look at www.crittall-windows.co.uk/
Looking at the picture it very much looks like their style.
I also am looking for some bifolds like this. Attached are a couple of pictures I found on pintrest

I had large double steel front doors in my home at one time. They are quite heavy and we only regularly opened one of them though we did leave the windows within the doors open quite often.
I have heard that bifold doors do not function very well and can imagine that given their weight they would be unwieldy - though beautiful.
I would also be concerned for security reasons and would not have any kind of bifolds personally. That is of course your own business.
