Why GFD Homes Doesn’t Sell uPVC Bifold Doors
We’ve seen what happens with uPVC bifolds: warping, sticking, poor thermal performance, short lifespans, and customer frustration. That’s why we don’t offer them. uPVC may be cheap, but it’s not cheerful long-term. At GFD Homes, we specialise only in aluminium and composite bifold doors – materials that perform beautifully and stand the test of time.
