Timber Bi-Folds FAQs

While aluminium is generally considered the best material for bi-fold doors due to its strength, durability and high weather resistance, timber bi-folds can perform really well and even last a lifetime.

The durability and performance of wooden doors depends on various factors such as the type of wood, the quality of construction, and the level of maintenance they receive.
