AB-60 Bifold Doors – A Unique, High-Performance Door for Your Home
Bifold doors remain one of the most popular ways to connect your home and garden. Slim frames, wide openings, and a contemporary look make them ideal for everything from modern new builds to traditional homes looking for more light and space.
But not all bifolds are the same. Many homeowners find themselves comparing doors that, on paper, look almost identical. That’s where the AB-60 bifold door stands apart. AB-60 uses Smart Systems extrusions but is unlike the standard product many other installers use.
At Fenestration Network, we recommend the AB-60 to homeowners who want something better – a bifold door that has been re-engineered and enhanced from one of the UK’s best-selling and reliable bifold systems. The result? A door with slimmer lines, bigger size options, more detail, and better long-term performance.
What Makes the AB-60 Different?
Most bifold doors on the market today are based on similar systems, which can make them hard to tell apart.
The AB-60 is exclusive
– you won’t find it in every showroom, and it isn’t a standard “off-the-shelf” product.
Key differences include:
Slimmer sightlines – just 120mm where panels meet, giving you more glass and less frame.
Taller panels – up to 3.0m high, matching premium European systems but made here in the UK.
Better thermal efficiency – U-values as low as 1.2 W/m²K, keeping your home warm and efficient.
PAS 24 tested security – independently tested with robust locks and premium hardware.
Matching single and double doors.
This means you get the design and performance usually associated with far more expensive bifolds, in a door system that is exclusive, proven and highly engineered. AB-60 Bifold Doors are a perfect replacement for your dated patio doors or for your new extension.
Designed for Long-Term Peace of Mind
One of the frustrations with many bifold doors is adjustment. Over time and depending how often it’s used and whether in a residential or commercial setting, any bifold may need fine-tuning. With most systems that means taking the glass out – a time-consuming and risky process.
The AB-60 solves this. Adjustment is built into the top and bottom of the door, so glass never needs to be removed. This protects the frames, glazing, and finish, while making any future maintenance simple and stress-free.
Another common compromise with standard bifolds is the floating mullion – a bulky section of frame needed when an even number of panels, 2, 4, 6, all slide and fold in one direction. This adds noticeable bulk to the edges of your bifolds where they meet the frame.
The AB-60 has engineered this out, keeping the sightlines slim and uninterrupted.
Premium Details You’ll Notice Every Day
With the AB-60, it’s not just about size and performance – the finishing touches are equally important. Every detail has been thought through to give you a bifold that looks as good as it performs:
Architectural-grade handles in textured, knurled, or metallic finishes.
Trickle vents built into the sash – no bulky head vents spoiling the lines.
Colour-matched gaskets in black, grey or white.
Low and flush threshold options for smooth transitions.
Corner and open-corner configurations for spectacular openings.
Matching single or double doors so side entrances and Juliet balconies can share the same sleek look.
These are details you won’t find on standard bifold systems, but they make all the difference in day-to-day use. And the AB-60 uses only premium grade aluminium, and an advanced powder coated finish that is
certified to the international Qualicoat Standard.
AB-60 Bifold Doors. Tried, Tested, and Exclusive
The AB-60 isn’t an unproven system. It’s built on one of the UK’s most trusted bifold designs but enhanced and upgraded in key areas. That means you get the reliability of arguably the UK’s best selling bifold door, but with unique features not available anywhere else.
And with matching single and double doors, you can have identical sightlines and hardware as well as a one-brand solution for other doors in your dining room, utility room, upstairs bedroom behind a Juliet Balcony and even as a front fully glazed door or porch.
Because the AB-60 is exclusive, you won’t see it in every showroom. That protects its value, avoids endless “cheapest quote” comparisons, and ensures you’re investing in a product that’s genuinely different.
A bifold with slimmer frames and taller panels than most.
Independent PAS 24 security testing for peace of mind.
Easier long-term maintenance with built-in adjustability.
Premium handles and hardware as standard.
Matching door options for a consistent design across your home.
Designed, engineered, and finished to a higher standard than standard bifolds.
