Your door to a beautiful home

Welcome to new space and style in your home Welcome to the Vufold catalogue. In this breathtaking brochure, you’ll find a whole range of the most beautiful and practical folding, sliding doors available in the UK today.

You can choose from interior and exterior folding, sliding doors in an outstanding selection of finishes from solid European oak to contemporary white or grey low maintenance aluminium to clear oak and unfinished options to which you can add your own unique style.

Vufold. The original and still the best Before Vufold, homeowners had little choice when it came to combining home and garden in one living area. There were sliding patio doors and traditional hinged French doors of course.

And you could have folding, sliding doors manufactured as a bespoke product but this was extremely expensive.

When we introduced Vufold folding, sliding doors in 2006, everything changed. For the first time ever, homeowners could buy and fit expanding, versatile and highly secure external doors without paying the earth.

Of course it’s been copied, but Vufold will always be the original and the best. In fact, no other product available today offers so many features and benefits in one simple folding, sliding door set.

What’s more, Vufold doors sets are not simply the most stunning products available on the market today, they’re also exceptionally well made.

High quality. Affordable prices All of our doors are crafted in a specialist, state-of-the-art woodworking factory using the latest hi-tech machinery to maintain a high and consistent standard. And because we produce such large numbers, we can keep prices down to an affordable level.

In fact, our high quality folding door system combines the detail and workmanship of handcrafted sliding doors, but priced at a more affordable level. And the value looks even better when you consider that you can buy any of our products direct from the manufacturer today and save yourself a small fortune.

New Vufold Inspire is a totally new and unique concept in internal folding room dividers. It offers simplicity, flexibility and stunning good looks which simply aren’t available from any other manufacturer.

INSPIRE

New Vufold Inspire folding doors

Vufold Inspire has four doors, with the two centre doors opening individually or together, for daily access between the rooms. Then by simply unlocking the top slide bolts the doors can be folded to the left and the right, then easily folded back against the wall to provide full open access between the two rooms.

In the open position, the two access doors are held securely in position with the Vufold door holders which come with the set. No bottom track is needed, so you have a seamless, unobstructed floor level between the two rooms.

Above all, new Vufold Inspire gives you the flexibility of having two cosy, separate rooms, or in a matter of seconds opening up the doors for a bigger, more open and inviting living space.

The doors and frames have an engineered construction for additional stability, with a clear selected oak veneer on the surface. The doors are a chunky 40mm thick and supplied in unfinished bare wood. You can clear varnish Inspire to give an oak finish, or add any wood stain or paint colour of your choice to match your existing colour scheme.

Vufold Inspire comes in one standard size: • The set is available in one size only 2007mm high x 2390mm wide • Door model: top to bottom glass to maximise light and view between rooms

• The set comes complete with glazed doors, frame, seals, folding hardware and mortice latch.

The only thing not included are the handles, so you can match what you already have on your other doors • The top and bottom pivots which give the folding action are completely adjustable for both height and side-to-side movement, and provide fine adjustment at the turn of a screwdriver • Most parts are pre-machined in our factory so assembly is quick and simple • Slide bolts and magnet catches are included to keep the doors securely closed and in line • Each set comes complete with draught seals to ensure you stay warm and cosy • The draught seals and glazing also reduce sound transference between rooms to give you more peace and quiet • The glass in the doors is tempered safety glass and complies with BSEN12150/12600 • Guaranteed for a full ten years

Vufold pleated blinds – sleek, discreet and completely controllable Our blinds are practical, functional and extremely beautiful. They have been exclusively designed for us by the UK’s leading window styling specialists, as the perfect complement to our Prestige range of premium oak folding, sliding doors. The concertina design makes them incredibly sleek and discreet, and gives you instant control of privacy, temperature control and shading .

Uniquely for folding, sliding doors, our blinds fit on the inside faces of the doors outside the glass, so are easy to maintain and replace. This is unlike those blinds which fit inside the double-glazed units, and need the complete glass unit or door to be replaced if there’s a problem.

All Vufold blinds are installed by qualified engineers, guaranteed for 12 months and available in two colours: Californian Sand and Morning Light.

The concertina design is slim and stylish, and gives you instant fingertip control of light, shade and temperature in the room.

This guarantee covers replacement of faulty parts only and does not cover incidental expenses. Failure to comply with the installation and finishing instructions will invalidate this guarantee. We recommend that a competent tradesperson installs this product.

You’ll find full installation instructions in the hardware box of each Vufold door set.

They can also be downloaded from our website at www.vufold.co.uk
