Following the success of its own-brand rooflight range, Alumen, the Smart and Schueco fabricator, is launching the Bi-Fold By Alumen door which, the company claims, will ‘set the benchmark for high quality aluminium folding doors at an industry beating price’.
Alan Robinson, MD of Alumen, said: “Alumen has been manufacturing aluminium windows and doors for over a decade and throughout that time partnered with both Schueco and Smarts – to the extent that we were commissioned to build and install a set of bi-fold doors for the new Schueco showroom. You may also have seen our work at FIT 2016, where we provided VBH with a set of bi-folds to showcase their specialist hardware. With our roots firmly in supplying aluminium products for the home improvement market, and our knowledge and experience gained through years of bespoke fabrication with leading systems, Alumen is launching what we believe to be the perfect bi-fold door set.
“Combining ultra slim 120mm sightlines with minimal limitations on size, the Bi-Fold by Alumen has an ultra-smooth running action and adjustable jambs for easy fitting as an optional extra. Flush and standard threshold options are available, as is a choice of door furniture. What’s more, popular colours are available in stock for quick delivery. And they are priced very competitively too – these high quality folding doors are available to the trade market with prices starting from just £360+VAT per sheet.
“Through effective sourcing of parts and materials and through extensive research, testing and IT systems, we are able to offer this new range of bi-fold doors that are comparable in quality to both Smars and Schueco, but considerately more competitively priced. We believe this product has all the best bits from the current products we fabricate and combined with our experience and excellent aftersales service, we have come up with the perfect bi-fold door.”
