Frequently asked questions

Are aluminium sliding doors secure?2026-09-18T10:30:24+01:00

Quality aluminium sliding doors can be specified with multi-point locking and robust hardware. Security features vary by product and configuration, so it is important to choose a reputable system and professional installation.

Are bi-fold doors suitable for UK homes?2026-09-18T10:26:37+01:00

Yes. Bi-fold doors are widely used in UK homes, particularly for extensions, kitchen-diners, and garden rooms. They are available in configurations suited to British weather conditions and building regulations.

Are bi-fold doors better than sliding doors?2026-09-18T10:25:22+01:00

Neither is universally better. Bi-fold doors are ideal if you want the widest possible physical opening and flexible ventilation. Sliding doors are ideal if you prioritise uninterrupted views, large glass panels, and a minimalist aesthetic. The right choice depends on your priorities and your property.

What is the difference between bi-fold and sliding doors?2026-09-18T10:24:54+01:00

Bi-fold doors are made of panels connected by hinges that fold and stack to the side. Sliding doors have large panels that slide horizontally behind or alongside one another. Bi-fold doors create a wider clear opening; sliding doors typically retain more glass in place.

Which is better for large openings, bi-fold or sliding doors?2026-09-18T10:24:32+01:00

Bi-fold doors can create a very wide open aperture because the panels fold away. Sliding doors can accommodate very large individual glass panels but usually leave part of the opening glazed. The best solution depends on whether you prioritise a fully open wall or expansive uninterrupted glazing.

Do sliding doors provide better views than bi-fold doors?2026-09-18T10:24:07+01:00

Sliding doors often provide cleaner, more uninterrupted views because they use large single panes with minimal vertical framing. Bi-fold doors also offer excellent views but have more frame divisions due to their hinged panels.

Which is easier to maintain, bi-fold or sliding doors?2026-09-18T10:23:24+01:00

Both are relatively low maintenance thanks to aluminium’s durability and weather resistance. Bi-fold doors have hinges and a folding mechanism that may require occasional cleaning and lubrication. Sliding doors have tracks and rollers that should be kept clean. Routine care keeps both operating smoothly.

Can aluminium bi-fold and sliding doors be made to measure?2026-09-18T10:22:20+01:00

Yes. Aluminium door systems are typically made to measure to suit the specific opening and design requirements of each property.

Do composite doors need painting?2026-07-14T16:55:24+01:00

No. The GRP outer skin doesn’t require painting, staining or varnishing. Routine cleaning with warm soapy water is all that’s needed to keep them looking like new.

Are patio doors double glazed?2025-06-11T15:18:47+01:00

Sliding patio doors are usually made of two large glass panels, which open by sliding one panel behind the other. Sliding doors provide easy access to gardens and patios.

What base or foundations are required?2025-11-09T15:39:37+00:00

A solid, level base (like a concrete foundation or an existing patio) is essential. While we specialise in the supply and installation of the conservatory structure itself, we can project manage the entire build and work with trusted groundworkers to prepare the base for you.

Are bi-fold doors good for increasing daylight?2026-06-05T13:50:52+01:00

Absolutely. Aluminium bi-fold doors provide floor-to-ceiling glazing across a wide span, bringing huge amounts of daylight in and enhancing the indoor-outdoor connection. Even when closed, the large glass panels brighten the room.

What is a good U-value for windows?2026-09-15T14:11:25+01:00

Lower is better. What counts as “good” depends on the project, the building regulations that apply and the whole-window figure (Uw) rather than the glass alone. Rather than chasing the lowest advertised number, ask for the whole-window performance of the specific system you are considering.

Are Flush Fit Casement Windows more expensive than standard windows?2025-10-08T21:56:33+01:00

Due to the higher level of craftsmanship and precision engineering required, they are typically a premium product. However, the investment is justified by their superior aesthetics, performance, security, and the added value they bring to your property.

How does fingerprint access work?2026-06-12T15:46:21+01:00

A high-resolution area sensor embedded in the handle reads the unique characteristics of your fingerprint. It authenticates you in a fraction of a second and signals the electronic lock to release. It is weather-resistant and works reliably even with slightly damp or dirty fingers.

Is a glass roof noisy when it rains?2025-11-09T14:09:50+00:00

A glass roof is significantly quieter than a polycarbonate roof. The solid, insulated units muffle the sound of rain, creating a much more peaceful and usable space.

Are uPVC windows more energy efficient than aluminium?2026-02-24T14:23:17+00:00

Generally, yes. While aluminium is very strong, uPVC is a natural insulator. Our multi-chambered uPVC profiles create a thermal barrier that prevents heat from escaping, often achieving higher energy ratings (A or A+) more cost-effectively than aluminium frames.

Will a conservatory be too hot in summer and too cold in winter?2025-11-09T15:38:58+00:00

Not if it’s designed and built correctly. Modern conservatories with energy-efficient double glazing, thermal breaks in the frames, and options like thermal roof systems or solar control glass are designed for year-round comfort. We can also integrate ventilation and blinds to perfectly manage the temperature.

How can I maximise natural light in my home extension?2026-06-05T14:00:33+01:00

Combine large overhead glazing – like a lantern roof or flat skylight – with full-height aluminium sliding or bi-fold doors. Position the extension to capture the best orientation, choose open plan layouts, and specify slimline frames for minimal obstruction.

Is a glass roof noisy when it rains?2025-11-09T14:09:50+00:00

A glass roof is significantly quieter than a polycarbonate roof. The solid, insulated units muffle the sound of rain, creating a much more peaceful and usable space.

Why are Schüco windows better than other aluminium windows?2025-10-10T15:53:55+01:00

Schüco windows stand out due to superior German engineering that delivers tangible benefits:

  • Better Energy Efficiency: Advanced thermal breaks often meet Passive House standards, drastically reducing your energy bills.

  • Stronger Security: Integrated, multi-point locking systems are certified to the highest anti-burglary ratings for maximum peace of mind.

  • Sleeker Design & Durability: They offer remarkably slim sightlines for more glass and less frame, all while being built to last for decades with minimal maintenance.

  • Precision & Quality: Every component is engineered to work together flawlessly, ensuring smooth operation and long-term reliability that cheaper alternatives can’t match.

In short, you’re investing in proven performance, security, and comfort, not just a window.

Do you offer guarantees?2025-07-16T15:29:28+01:00

Absolutely. We provide 10-year product guarantees and a comprehensive installation warranty.

Will I Need Planning Permission for Bi-Fold Doors?2025-06-11T15:18:47+01:00

If you are replacing existing doors, you won’t usually need planning permission to add bi-fold doors. However, if you live in a conservation area you may need to get further information from your local council before going ahead. If you plan to build an extension and add bi-fold doors it’s always best to check local building regulations before you start work.

Which is easier to maintain, bi-fold or sliding doors?2026-09-18T10:23:24+01:00

Both are relatively low maintenance thanks to aluminium’s durability and weather resistance. Bi-fold doors have hinges and a folding mechanism that may require occasional cleaning and lubrication. Sliding doors have tracks and rollers that should be kept clean. Routine care keeps both operating smoothly.

What guarantee do you offer on your Schüco windows?2025-10-10T15:50:48+01:00

We provide a comprehensive guarantee that covers both the Schüco product and our installation workmanship. Full details will be provided with your quotation.

What colour options are available?2025-09-30T21:19:50+01:00

Beyond classic white, we offer a extensive palette of colours, including Chartwell Green, Anthracite Grey, and Black, as well as dual-colour options (e.g., white on the inside, a colour on the outside).

How long does it take to manufacture and install a Schüco entrance door?2025-07-11T14:45:05+01:00

Lead times vary by design and specifications, but typically range from 4–8 weeks including installation.

Are composite doors more secure than uPVC?2026-07-14T16:55:46+01:00

Yes. The solid, rigid construction of a composite door resists flexing and forced entry far better than uPVC. Combined with multi-point locking systems, they offer significantly enhanced security.
