Need to replace our bifolds.... companies won't even come out to look now and they all want to know what I want over the phone.

But idk.

Basically I want the exact same as what we had. Can anyone tell me what they are? There were made by Sunfold who are now bankrupt.

Looking for mid- high end replacement.....

if your replacing them , drill a small hole in one and see what comes out.

At a guess aluminium.

Get someone like Anglian windows to come and give you a quote? They are usually happy to do home visits. They should be able to tell you what you would need for like-for-like replacement.

If they're aluminium, would an ordinary fridge magnet stick to them to confirm?

Aluminum isn't magnetic.

Looking at the age of the brick work around, I'd be surprised if they were wood.
Aluminum is probably a very decent replacement, whatever they are currently made from.

Thanks all. To clarify, the white parts you can see here are all wooden, we’ve recently painted it all. I just wondered if they are aluminium inside maybe….. so confusing.
I wish someone would bother coming out to give an estimate
