In neighbourhoods across New Zealand, kids like Aiden are waiting for help.

That’s not fair, when a child’s dreams can be so simple. Aiden just dreams of joining the big kids at school, with the proper uniform. With living costs skyrocketing, hardworking parents are finding it more difficult to provide their children with essentials like bedding, school uniforms or shoes. These children are also likely to miss out on important opportunities such as camp or swimming lessons.

Bi-fold doors open up the full potential of indoor-outdoor living. And even in small spaces, a simple bifold door can provide fresh air and access to a beautiful view with a simple push.
Historically, Bi-fold doors were already known by the Romans as excavations in Pompeii have revealed. Peter Connolly writes in his book ‘Pompeii’ that the Romans ‘disliked single-leaf doors and wherever possible, both inside and out, they used French or even Bi-fold doors’.

We offer a range of aluminium Bi-fold doors that work well in both modern and traditional properties.
