Winter Views, Summer Ready: The Benefits of Installing Bifold Doors in January

Winter Views, Summer Ready: The Benefits of Installing Bifold Doors in January

January is the perfect time to get ahead of the year’s projects. It’s strategic, as it allows forward-thinking businesses to put plans in place for important glazing upgrades, like bifold doors.

While some may view bifolds purely as seasonal products, they provide benefits all year round.  BDC Aluminium’s Smart Visofold doors are engineered, trade-focused systems perfect for early-year installation.

Beating the Spring Rush for External Renovations

Spring is the peak season in the development sector. Installer availability is tight, and lead times on purchases are often extended. Demand increases significantly in preparation for summer installations, placing greater pressure on schedules and lead times.

Planning installation for January allows for better scheduling with surveyors/install teams, reduces the risk of seasonal delays, and provides a smoother process for larger projects.

How Smart Visofold Bifolds Keep the Cold Out

The Visofold 1000 Slim maximises glazed areas, thanks to its ultra-slim sightlines. This is achieved while maintaining strength and thermal performance, with no compromise on performance.

They’re weather-tested to BS 6375 Part 1;2009, and security tested to PAS 24, demonstrating their reliable performance and their compliance with building regulations.

Available in over 200 RAL colours and finishes, with the capability for dual-colour options (different finishes on either side of the door), our Visofold 1000 Slim supports bespoke architectural requirements.

The Smart Visofold 6000 features some of the slimmest sightlines on the market at 94mm, delivering expansive glazed openings and larger views.

They’re perfect for larger or feature openings, where creating visual impact and strong performance are priorities.

Their contemporary profiles make the 6000 suitable for both classic and modern buildings – helping installers satisfy a broad range of specifications.

Strong weather sealing and precision engineering of each system make them suitable for installation all year round and perform even in the colder months.

Circularity in Construction: Why Aluminium Wins the Green War

Within the construction industry, sustainability and carbon reduction are high priorities. Developers, contractors and architects face mounting pressure to meet Net Zero targets.  Circular economy principles are increasingly shaping building design and specification. With aluminium widely recognised as a circular building material, BDC Aluminium offers the perfect sustainable solution for windows, doors and internal glazing. The Importance of Circularity in Construction The term ‘circularity’ focuses on the reuse, recycling and lifecycle value of different building materials. As the construction sector is responsible for significant global carbon emissions, regulations and ESG goals are driving sustainable material choices. To ensure compliance, specifiers are prioritising materials with long lifecycles and high recyclability. Reducing waste and embodied carbon are key project objectives in any development or refurbishment project.  Aluminium fits circular economy principles better than many alternatives, making it a popular choice for specifiers, developers and contractors across many applications. Why Aluminium Wins the Green War Aluminium is infinitely recyclable without a significant drop in quality. It's highly recycled within the construction sector and uses significantly less energy to recycle than primary aluminium construction.  Its extended lifecycle reduces the need for replacement, making it a sustainable option for new projects. The metal's corrosion resistance supports the system's durability, while remaining lightweight and strong.  Its suitability for reuse and remanufacture makes it an inherently eco-friendly option, supporting low lifecycle carbon in buildings and increasing use in sustainable architecture. BDC Aluminium’s Sustainable Metal All BDC Aluminium’s glazing systems are fabricated from recyclable materials. They feature long-life powder-coated finishes that reduce maintenance and replacement. They are also made-to-order, resulting in less waste materials or unnecessary emissions. BDC supports circular material flows in construction, supplying sustainably manufactured and fabricated aluminium systems, built with long service life and recyclability at the forefront.  Choose BDC for your Net Zero Commercial Project Today We support architects, developers and contractors with aluminium solutions, suitable for Net Zero, low-carbon and sustainable projects. If you’d like to discuss how BDC could help with the sustainability of your next project, please get in touch with our expert team.
