any experience with roofing outlet (bifold)?

[biryani_boy]

hi all,

we're at the stage where we're looking to place an order for a bifold door. the specs are as follows:

3600x2100mm, 4 panels, alu frame, double glazed, standard color, 4-3-1 config

I found a visofold 1000 or a korniche on roofingoutlet.co.uk for a pretty decent price. does anyone have experience with this supplier? builder says they're "too cheap". they're not the only one supplying this system/config for a similar price, so it's not an anomaly.

Never used roofing outlet but have visofold...much of a muchness really. As goes the builders comment on price....always consider aftersales and if there was a problem , whose fixing it

this is what I'm trying to find out, are they bad in any way? they all sell visofold, both for £2800 and £6000, trying to understand the difference. the blueprint will be the same, as it's a manufacturer's specification. glass is glass, alu is alu, trying to understand what could do wrong.

Sorry to resurrect an old post but in a similar boat. What did you choose in the end and were there any problems?

Went with cortizo, 3600x1200mm, triple glazed, anthracite grey, 4 panels, 4-3-1 config.

It was £2600 fit and supply, invoice, 10 years warranty on parts and labour.

Generally happy with it, though the builder took shortcuts with the trickle vents (cheap, flimsy, aftermarket plastic). Otherwise solid as a rock.

Where did you get them from? I'm looking at £2800+ for just double glazing
Thanks

It was 2 years ago, so prices have gone up a bit, but you should be able to get them under £4k.

I tried quite a few fitters before this one was recommended.
