Shopfronts & entrances
Bi-folding shopfronts
Bi-folding shopfronts are frontages that fold fully open for cafes, bars and restaurants. You get a free survey, an itemised quotation and an installation date that suits the business.
Why businesses choose it
Glass in the critical zones is safety glass as standard, toughened or laminated to suit the position. The finished frontage is sealed to the structure and checked for level, square and smooth door operation before we leave. Where the unit is in a conservation area, sections and colours are chosen with the planning officer's expectations in mind.
How we handle it
Midlands Shopfronts covers the full frontage: the glazing, the entrance door, the fascia above it and the shutter that closes over it at night. Keeping it all with one team means one survey, one set of drawings and one person accountable when the job is signed off.
Options and specification
- Traffic door built into the run for daily use
- Heavy-duty running gear for commercial cycles
- Leaves stack neatly to one or both sides
How much do bi-folding shopfronts cost?
Bi-folding shopfronts start at around £5,200 plus VAT. The real figure comes from the survey measurements. Once issued, the price is fixed for 90 days unless the specification changes.
How long does it take?
Manufacture usually takes 4-5 weeks after drawing sign-off. Installation in your is usually a day or two once everything is made. Early starts and closed-day fitting are both possible.

Questions about bi-folding shopfronts
Do you cover the whole of the Midlands?
Yes. We cover your area and the rest of the Midlands, including Birmingham, Coventry, Leicester and Nottingham.
What guarantee do I get?
Every installation comes with a written guarantee, and manufacturer warranties on hardware, motors and finishes are passed to you. The terms are set out on your quotation.
Can you match the units either side?
On a parade where the landlord wants a consistent frontage, we work to the same section profile and colour reference so the unit reads as part of the row.
What do you need from me to quote?
The address, roughly what you want, and a photo of the current frontage. Opening sizes help but are not essential, because we measure at survey anyway.
