Faqs

  • Why aluminium?
    Because aluminium has high strength to weight ratio, we can do taller, wider and slimmer doors and windows than PVC, wood or alu clad wood.

  • Aren’t all bi fold doors the same?
    No, many manufacturers create a bifold doors system using components and tracks from others. Sunparadise bi fold doors have been designed by Sunparadise engineers for manufacturing in their own factory. Every component has been designed and produced by Sunparadise for use in there own system.

  • Lead times?
    We can deliver within 5/6 weeks from week of order.

  • Who installs them?
    We do – we have our own fitting crew who are trained and experienced in fitting Sunparadise products. We never allow anyone else to fit them as these are engineered products.

  • Do we liaise with the builders?
    Once the order is placed with us, we liaise closely with the builder and visit site a number of times to ensure everyone is clear about what needs to happen to ensure a flush track and perfect fit.

  • What glass options are there?
    Our systems can take many different thicknesses and as the glass is sourced locally, all the options are available to the client, such as double glazed, triple glazed, toughened, laminate, tinted, solar control etc.

  • Can we do triple glazed?
    Yes - on all our products.

  • What are the biggest Bi fold doors we can do?
    Bi fold doors can be up to 120cm in width and we can do then to a H270cm in a single double glazed panel. Please note we cannot do a door W120cm by H270cm in a single pane due to the weight.

  • The biggest Sliding door:
    Up to 6.5 sq metres with a max height of 280cm using double glazing.

  • The biggest Skylight:
    We can do up to a W120cm x L320cm flush glazed skylight in a single double glazed panel.

  • Flush track on floor:
    All doors can have a flush track on the floor as standard.

  • Load bearing:
    Bi Fold doors are top hung, so the weight is on the top track. A steel beam is necessary for weight as well as providing level. It is also possible to have a floor running bi fold door, to reduce the need for a load bearing beam (a level grounding is still required at the top).

  • Guarantee:
    A 5 year guarantee on the doors and fitting and 10 years on the glass warranty or service call outs are free of charge.

  • Finishes:
    14 standard colours, with option for any RAL colour and / or different colour inside than out

  • Security:
    3 point locks on leaf doors and 2 point locks on each junction. Doors cannot be lifted out of base track. Hinges and glass are not accessible from outside
