Whether you have a period home, new build, unconventional property or quaint cottage, there’s a bi-fold which will complement your home and allow you to enjoy it in a completely new way.

Created bespoke to ensure you can make the most of your space, the Origin bi-fold Collections range from one to twelve door sets. Individual doors can be manufactured as narrow as 400mm, as wide as 1,200mm and as tall as 3,025mm. You can choose how they open and close – whether they fold in or out, and how they slide – to meet your exact needs.

Large expanses of glass, ultra-slim profile…

Complementing the rest of the Origin Home Collection, our bi-fold doors create a harmonious look with existing door and window systems – right down to the ultra-slim profiles. The large expanses of glass sit within an ultra-strong aluminium profile, and you can choose the OB-36+ (Soho Collection), or the OB-36+, OB-49 or OB-72 (Contemporary Collection), each with their own individual characteristics to suit different styles.

A seamless link, your way…

Creating that truly seamless link between your home and outside space is all in the threshold. We recommend a weathered threshold, which can be sunk into the floor. It leaves a minimal lip but provides a protective weathertight seal.

Non-weathered options offer a level floor finish and create a seamless transition between the inside and out. Non-weathered options are largely recommended for internal usage.

Doors that glide effortlessly…

An intelligently engineered short wheelbase carriage assembly with four wheels, manufactured from a high-grade acetal, guides the doors along the track seamlessly, enabling them to open and close with ease. It’s quality you can see, feel and admire.
