Why this suits Shetland
Bi-folds fold the whole opening away, which is why they suit the rear extensions that dominate improvement work in Shetland. Worth knowing: they stack, so you lose the leaf width off the reveal.
Stone-built croft housing and modern island stock. The most severe wind exposure in the UK, with constant salt loading. The failure that tends to come first is Wind load, driven rain and corrosion on every elevation — worth knowing before you decide between repairing what you have and replacing it.
Freight to Shetland is a long separate leg — plan well ahead. Order to the structural opening, measured in three places, smallest figure wins. How to measure properly.

Bi-fold doors in Shetland — questions
How long does delivery to Shetland take?
About a week from order for standard products in standard finishes, then 3–5 working days once made for the run to Shetland. Special RAL colours and made-to-measure joinery take longer, and you get a firm date before you pay.
Do you install in Shetland?
Installation is available and quoted as a separate line, so you can see exactly what the fitting costs against the product. The product still arrives on the supply-only lead time; the fitting date depends on the diary.
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 Shetland?
Wind load, driven rain and corrosion on every elevation. 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.
