What Affects the Price?
Several factors determine the final cost of your bifold doors:
Number of Panels
More panels = wider opening = higher cost. Each additional panel adds roughly £400-£700 to the total.
Colour
Standard colours (white, anthracite grey, black) are included in the base price. Non-standard RAL colours add £200-£400. Dual-colour options (different inside and outside) add £300-£500.
Glazing
Standard double glazing is included. Upgrading to triple glazing adds £300-£600. Specialist glass (self-cleaning, solar control, acoustic) costs more.
Structural Work
If you need a wall removed or a new lintel installed to create the opening, this typically adds £500-£2,000 to the project. A structural engineer's report may also be required (£200-£400).
Installation Complexity
Ground-floor rear installations are the most straightforward. Upper floors, difficult access, or tricky site conditions can increase labour costs.
How to Get the Best Price
- Get at least 3 quotes — Prices vary significantly between suppliers in Leeds
- Compare like for like — Make sure quotes specify the same brand, profile system, and glazing spec
- Ask about lead times — Some suppliers offer discounts for flexible delivery dates
- Consider the full package — If you're also getting windows or a roof lantern, a combined order often works out cheaper
- Choose a reputable installer — Installation quality matters enormously. We can recommend trusted local fitters who we know deliver excellent workmanship
Is It Worth Paying More for Aluminium?
In short, yes. While uPVC is cheaper upfront, aluminium bifold doors offer:
- Slimmer frames (50% less frame, more glass)
- Greater durability (won't warp or discolour)
- Better resale value (aluminium is a premium feature)
- More colour options (200+ vs limited uPVC range)
- Longer lifespan (40+ years vs 20-25 for uPVC)
For most Leeds homeowners, the extra cost of aluminium is well worth it in the long run.
