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.
Why businesses choose it
A single traffic door is built into the run so staff and customers can use the entrance normally when the frontage is closed. The finished frontage is sealed to the structure and checked for level, square and smooth door operation before we leave.
How we handle it
A shutter bolted onto a frontage that was never designed for it is where most problems start. We plan the two together, so the box sits behind the fascia line, the guides land on solid fixings and the lock sits where the insurer wants it.
Options and specification
- Leaves stack neatly to one or both sides
- Low-profile threshold when open
- Traffic door built into the run for daily use
