Beautiful Aluminium Bi folding Doors Livingston From EKCO Architectural Doors and Windows

Looking for bi folding doors Livingston? If you are a builder or joiner constructing a new extension or sunroom for a valued customer, or an architect planning a new-build project in Livingston you may want to look at installing beautiful Origin aluminium bi folding patio doors from EKCO Architectural Doors and Windows.

Livingston – a city of contrasts

Livingston is indeed a city of contrasts. From the steely, futuristic exterior of the Clyde Auditorium, affectionately known as the ‘Armadillo’ to the red sandstone Victorian grandeur of the People’s Palace the city is as diverse and cosmopolitan as its people. When renovating homes in Livingston or embarking on a new build project form is as important as function. By installing patio doors from EKCO Architectural Doors and Windows you get both.

EKCO Bi Fold Doors Livingston – the perfect balance between form and function for Livingston properties

One of the main benefits of bifolds as opposed to traditional sliding doors is the feeling of space they create. Also known as concertina doors they open fully to remove the barriers generally associated with more traditional patio doors. In effect they offer a panoramic, uninterrupted view of the outside area. The primary function, when closed, is to provide an effective barrier to the harsh elements. Form meets function however, when we consider that to really appreciate them the doors need to be fully open. In this way the absence of the structure itself becomes the main attraction as they create the illusion of one larger space flowing between the indoor living area and the garden.

The benefits of fitting EKCO Architectural Doors and Windows in a Livingston residential or commercial property

The beauty of fitting Origin doors from EKCO Architectural Doors and Windows is that they will look just as beautiful in a newly built home in the south side as they will in a five bedroomed stone-built traditional home near Livingston’s west end. Here are just some of their benefits. The full list can be found on our specification page:

• Origin doors supplied through EKCO Architectural Doors and Windows are designed and manufactured in the UK from 100% recycled aluminium.
• They can be custom-designed to fit any size aperture including corner sites
• The durability and strength of the frames mean that they come with an industry leading 20 year guarantee.
• Our free glide system means that a simple push will open the door. A magnetic catch helps to prevent accidental closure from unexpected gusts of wind.
• Deep-throw hooks, an eight-point locking system, anti-lift bars top and bottom along with high-security locks and hinges ensure the safety of you and your family. Meeting police ‘Preferred by Design’ standards they are built to withstand break-ins from the most determined intruder.
• Origin Bifold doors come with safety gaskets between the frames which completely eliminate the chance of little fingers getting trapped.
• The low threshold enables equal floor finishes inside and out. This helps to enhance the appearance of ‘one space.’
• Livingston, like any other Scottish city can be bitterly cold in winter. Our doors however, thanks to rigorous quality-controlled construction from start to finish and advanced weather-tight seals, surpass British Building Regulation requirements. They deliver a Certified U value rating of up to 1.3 based on fitting triple glazed glass which can help reduce heating bills.
• There are up to 150 frame colours available in a durable powder coat finish. The exterior can also, if desired, be finished in a different colour from the interior. This is ideal if the property is located in a conservation area regulated by strict planning controls.
• The finishing touches make all the difference to the overall look. That’s why we supply robust, ergonomically-designed stainless steel or coloured handles. There is also the option of having remote-controlled, custom-fitted blinds which, if required, can be set between the panes of glass. This helps to keep them maintenance free and out of reach of cats or other pets.

EKCO Architectural Bifold Doors and Windows patio doors Livingston –  supply only service for Livingston properties

Made to measure bifold doors Livingston

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, Origin bi-folds range from one to eight door sets and individual doors can be manufactured as narrow as 400mm, as wide as 1200mm and as tall as 3000mm. You can choose how they open and close – whether they fold in or out, and how they slide – to meet your exact needs.

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.

Classic Georgian look

When you think of bi-fold doors, you may envision wide expanses of glass with light flooding in without much variation, but it is possible to personalise your bi-folds to ensure they truly complement your home and your style.

Taking a traditional design and making it cool and contemporary, you can opt for Georgian bars. By placing bars vertically, horizontally or both, our crittall-style or steel-framed doors create a classic style and an extra sense of cosiness while still allowing for vast expanses of light.

Bi Fold 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.

Choosing your Origin Door has never been easier. If you know your rough opening size, find the nearest opening measurement in the table below and scan down the column to view your possible door options.
