Origin Aluminium Bifold Doors
Introducing the Origin Door....
Offering two sightline options (either 49mm or 72mm) the Origin door is available as a bifold, a corner bifold, a traditional French door or as a single door.
In addition to being visually stunning, Origin doors are completely bespoke, so you can tailor them to your stylistic and practical needs.
The OB-49...
The OB-49 is Origins slimline bifold door system that has been re-engineered from the industry-renowned OB-72. Its sightline of just 49mm means less profile and more glass is achieved, giving you a panoramic view of your surroundings.
Manufactured from premium grade aluminium, it offers impressive panel sizes without compromising on security, thermal or operational performance - it's the ultimate combination.
The OB-72...
The OB-72 is a cleverly designed, beautifully made and exquisitely finished sliding folding door system that features a unique free-glide running system.
Offering sightlines of 72mm and chamfered beading, it provides a more traditional style and given its innate strength, it means that it can accommodate door sets of up to twelve doors in a single configuration, as well as corner bi-fold set ups.
A word from our trade partners themselves...
Inspired by colour.......
With over 150 different RAL shades to choose from, you can be sure to find a colour that suits your style, no matter how subtle or outrageous it may be.
Ranging from bright primary shades through to candy pastels and deeper earthy tones, our extensive colour palette is guaranteed to offer inspiration to homeowners and interior designers alike.
Also to complement this further your door can be finished in matt, satin and gloss finish.
Little things that mean a lot...
Nothing has been left to chance in the creation and manufacture of the Origin bifold door. Every details has been scrutinised, every process meticulously tested and every component designed to ensure all elements perform flawlessly.
Take the gearbox for example - it may be small, but don't underestimate its contribution, power or importance. It's responsible for operating the shoot bolts and locking the doors in place. Its lightweight structure has been meticulously tested to the extremities to enhance performance without compromising on security.
Aluminium...
Extremely strong yet weighing 67% less than steel, Origin uses premium grade aluminium across all products.
Origin's aluminium is hugely versatile and strong enough to easily accommodate complex door layouts, such as moving corner posts without being too heavy.
The sightlines of an Origin door are stunningly slim to ensure a maximised view, and the frames have the highest grade powder coating, to ensure an overall superior finish.
It's the quality, strength and durability that aluminium brings that allows Origin to provide such long guarantees.
Safe and secure...
The lock..
Origin have developed an outstandingly secure and completely unique 8-point locking system that can be used across both the OB-49 and OB-72 systems. Not only does it conform to all the latest security standards including PAS 24:2016, but it also achieves the prestigious secured by design status.
Barrel Options...
The OB-49 comes with a 3-Star Diamond, British Standard Kitemark locking barrel as standard. These barrels are proven to protect against snapping, picking, drilling and bumping, offering a defence that is second to none.
The OB-72 can be upgraded to include the barrel as mentioned above, but if you opt not to go for this, it will be equipped with a reliable 1-Star barrel which makes forced entry difficult, preventing thieves and entry breaks occurring via the locks. There are also thumbturn barrel options available to cater to your lifestyle.
Other Security Features...
On both systems, Origin have specifically designed hinges that are engineered to help withstand attacks, offering little opportunity for even the most determined intruder. All of this, on top of the innately robust and strong aluminium profile, makes for two ultra-secure systems.
Thermal efficiency...
It may not seem that a classic style goes hand in hand with thermal efficiency, but it certainly does with Origin.
Designed specifically to meet the demands of the UK market, the Origin door has been engineered to optimise superior weather rating, security and aesthetic appeal. While each of the doors invite natural light in and remove the barriers between the inside and outside, they also work to keep a home warm when its chilly and cool when it's hot.
Origin exceed British building regulation requirements for optimal thermal efficiency as the OB-49 boasts a certified U Value of 1.2 and on the OB-72 it's 1.3.
The Origin door also makes use of some of the most sophisticated weathertight seals to ensure the elements stay out.
In real terms, this means your Origin door will help reduce energy bills and your rooms will become usable all year round.
Low maintenance...
Origin makes it possible to enjoy your home without the worry of time consuming and complicated maintenance.
The very nature of bifolding doors demands precision driven design and engineering - something that materials such as timber and UPVC just can't measure up to, as they wont maintain alignment over the lifetime of the product. Origin's high grade aluminium retains a consistent shape, barely contracting or expanding, whatever the weather. Its guaranteed to offer the right combination of strength and weight to allow for a narrow, more aesthetically pleasing frame which will work flawlessly for decades to come.
Its impeccable powder coated finish removes the need for periodic painting and demanding maintenance, so you can relax, knowing it's one less thing to worry about.
Handled with care...
In addition to striking the optimum balance between superior strength and a sleek design, Orihin handles are exhaustively cycle tested so they mirror the flawless functionality of the doors, ensuring they stand the test of time.
