Shopfronts & entrances
Bi-folding shopfronts
Bi-folding shopfronts are frontages that fold fully open for cafes, bars and restaurants. You get a free survey, an itemised quotation and an installation date that suits the business.
The detail
The frame is fabricated to the measurements taken at survey, so it fits the opening first time. Door hardware is chosen with you: closer strength, lock type and handle style all go on the drawing. Colours are matched to a RAL reference, so a brand colour or a landlord's parade colour can be followed exactly.
How we handle it
Multi-unit landlords, contractors and growing retailers use us because one contract covers the frontage, the security and the entrance. One programme, one point of contact, one set of O&M documents at handover.
Options and specification
- Low-profile threshold when open
- Traffic door built into the run for daily use
- Heavy-duty running gear for commercial cycles
