Why this suits Cumbria
Bi-folds fold the whole opening away, which is why they suit the rear extensions that dominate improvement work in Cumbria. Worth knowing: they stack, so you lose the leaf width off the reveal.
Slate and stone cottages, Victorian terraces in the coastal towns, and Lakeland vernacular. The wettest county in England, with severe upland wind-driven rain. The failure that tends to come first is Water ingress at every junction, and accelerated finish degradation on exposed elevations — worth knowing before you decide between repairing what you have and replacing it.
Specify the highest weather ratings available; this county tests glazing harder than anywhere in England. Order to the structural opening, measured in three places, smallest figure wins. How to measure properly.

Bi-fold doors in Cumbria — questions
What size do I order to?
The structural opening — brick to brick, lintel to cill. Measure in three places and use the smallest figure. Do not take a fitting tolerance off yourself; that is done at our end.
What usually needs replacing in Cumbria?
Water ingress at every junction, and accelerated finish degradation on exposed elevations. That is the pattern across most of the county, though an individual property can differ.
Can I get a price without giving you my details?
Prices are published on the product pages with an inc and ex VAT switch. For your exact sizes we need to price it, but you can see the range before you speak to anyone.
What if the delivery is damaged?
Check it on the vehicle and note anything on the paperwork before the driver leaves. Damage reported at that point is replaced; damage found a fortnight later is much harder to resolve.
How long does delivery to Cumbria take?
About a week from order for standard products in standard finishes, then 2–4 working days once made for the run to Cumbria. Special RAL colours and made-to-measure joinery take longer, and you get a firm date before you pay.
