Have a look through our bifold door brochure to fully understand why Aliview aluminium bifolds are a popular choice and a smart investment that shouldn’t be overlooked.

Easy to install

Another reason why people choose our aluminium products is because of how simple they are to install for customers. First of all, aluminium frames are joined together by 45-degree angled mitre joints that are very precise and easy to piece together creating a more tailored finish whereas uPVC frames need to be welded together to create a join and are usually more rounded and bulkier looking.

Secondly, installers love it because it means the turn around times on projects are significantly smaller which ensures their customers satisfaction remains high – after all they want to make the most of their home and not have tradesmen in for prolonged periods.

Finally, aluminium products require less foundations to install – generally uPVC products require to use some of the interior space to create a ‘step’ that can house the structure upwards, and this again can be quite bulky and take up room within a building. Thanks to the strength of aluminium this pre planning and foundation work isn’t required.

Durability

With Aliview, we guarantee quality through modern, innovative and bespoke designs. Where wooden frames are great for creating decorative designs and can easily last 15-20 years with regular upkeep and maintenance, they cannot be compared to aluminium frames which boast an impressive 20–30-year life span and are far less likely to suffer from warping – a common occurrence from weather damage, meaning far less maintenance

Additionally, due to aluminium’s remarkable strength, frames won’t suffer any dents from debris or the ebbs and flow of life in general and will be able to stand the test of time and look as good as they were on day one. Furthermore, their  impressive strength would stand up to any unwanted intruders; being much stronger than uPVC and being able to hold more panes of glass so if you chose to have triple glazing, it would take a lot of effort to breakthrough, deterring any burglars or alike.
