How much were your bifolds, please?

[waterlemon30]

Our extension is going to be 3.6 x 6.6m or about 255sq ft. For 6.5m wide, it looks like we'll need five panels of bifold doors but it's a mind field choosing. Our builders will fit them if we source them but I'm finding anything from £2k - £20k!!

Mine are around 2.6m wide, three panels. Our builder sourced them for ~£5k

About £3k for 3 panels of 1m each, fitting included. Aluminium in anthracite grey

Around £1k per metre but £1.5k with integral blinds (which is what we went for and I'm very happy we did).

@Pez82 where did you get yours from?

From this company
www.crcrooflanterns.co.uk

I think they were actually recommended to me on MN!

I also had a roof lantern supplied and installed by them

Hmm maybe I'll need 6 or 7 then...

We went for Schuco over Origin. Both were extremely similar but the Schuco frame is slightly stronger and can cope with a larger glass width than the Origin. The origin required 4 panels for a 3.2m width where as Schuco could provide this with 3 panels resulting in more glass and less frame.

The price was identical - £4,100 for a triple glazed Schuco door 3.6m wide x 2.3m tall. This was in Jan 2016.

We bought ours from Bifold Door Factory in Uxbridge (www.bifolddoorfactory.co.uk/) in case you are in the South East.
