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.
The detail
Folding the whole frontage back turns the glass line into open trading space, so pavement seating reads as part of the room. The frame is fabricated to the measurements taken at survey, so it fits the opening first time.
Working with us
An elevation looks right when the shopfront, the entrance doors and the windows above share the same sightlines and colour. We survey the whole face of the building and draw it as one scheme, then phase the work if the budget needs it.
Options and specification
- Traffic door built into the run for daily use
- Heavy-duty running gear for commercial cycles
- Leaves stack neatly to one or both sides
How much do bi-folding shopfronts cost?
The entry price is about £5,200 plus VAT. Size, specification and strip-out decide the exact number. Quotations stay valid for 90 days.
How long does it take?
Expect 4-5 weeks after drawing sign-off for manufacture. On site, most your jobs take one or two days. If you cannot close, we can work outside trading hours.
