Shopfronts & entrances
Bi-folding shopfronts
In short, bi-folding shopfronts are frontages that fold fully open for cafes, bars and restaurants. Every job starts with a survey so the work is made to your opening, not a guess.
What you get
The finished frontage is sealed to the structure and checked for level, square and smooth door operation before we leave. Where the unit is in a conservation area, sections and colours are chosen with the planning officer's expectations in mind. Glass in the critical zones is safety glass as standard, toughened or laminated to suit the position.
How we handle it
Most of our customers run one or two units and want the frontage sorted without closing for a week. We keep the process short: a visit, a written figure, then an installation date that works around the shop.
Options and specification
- Heavy-duty running gear for commercial cycles
- Leaves stack neatly to one or both sides
- Low-profile threshold when open

Budget from £5,200 plus VAT as a starting point. The real figure comes from the survey measurements. Quotations stay valid for 90 days.

Allow 4-5 weeks after drawing sign-off from drawings to delivery. The install itself rarely takes more than two days for a standard opening. If you cannot close, we can work outside trading hours.
