Thermal efficiency

Superior insulation

Luxury bifold doors are designed with energy efficiency in mind. Advanced glazing options, such as double or triple glazing, significantly reduce heat loss and improve insulation. This helps maintain a comfortable indoor temperature while reducing energy bills.

Thermal break technology

Many high-end bifold doors incorporate thermal break technology, which involves a barrier between the inside and outside of the door frame. This barrier prevents heat from passing through the frame, enhancing the door’s overall thermal performance.

Security features

Luxury bifold doors come with advanced security features, including multi-point locking systems, robust frames, and toughened glass. These elements provide peace of mind without compromising on style. You can expect to find:

  • Multi-point locking systems: Security is a top priority in luxury bifold doors. Multi-point locking systems engage at multiple points along the door frame, providing enhanced protection against forced entry. These locks are often bolstered by additional security features, such as anti-lift blocks and hardened steel bolt

  • Robust frames and toughened glass: The frames of luxury bifold doors are typically constructed from high-strength materials like aluminium, which is not only durable but also difficult to tamper with. Toughened or laminated glass further enhances security by resisting breakage. Even if the glass is broken, laminated glass stays in place, making it harder for intruders to gain entry

  • Reputation and experience: Opt for a supplier with a proven track record in the industry. Companies like Origin are renowned for their expertise and commitment to quality

  • Quality assurance: Ensure the supplier offers comprehensive warranties and guarantees on their products. This reflects their confidence in the durability and performance of their bifold doors
