An engineer’s choice
November 2016

An engineer who has completely rebuilt, extended and refurbished her family home chose aluminium bi-fold doors from ALUFOLDDIRECT.

Fay Best and partner Mark have been working on their dream home in Leeds for a year, and experienced several setbacks from suppliers.

With AluFoldDirect, Fay discussed her requirements with the company, which talked her through the measuring and ordering process, then put her in touch with a local installer while the doors were being manufactured.

“After a year of building nightmares, it is wonderful to have something arrive as ordered, on time and fitted so perfectly,” she said.

“My career has been in industrial design and my current role as a consultant for WISEcampaign and governor for the UTC Leeds Academy involve showing young women the opportunities available in engineering.

“I knew from experience that getting the doors right meant measuring the size of the hole to get the exact dimensions, so I was impressed that AluFoldDirect makes this central to the way they work. After getting very inconsistent service from my suppliers over the past year, it also really appealed that AluFoldDirect promises to deliver within two weeks for a glazed aluminium bi-fold door, meaning that I could plan ahead.

“The whole process went very smoothly. I placed the order and it arrived exactly when they said it would. AluFoldDirect were polite and helpful throughout. Best of all the bi-folds look fantastic and fit perfectly. They make the whole house. From an engineering perspective, the glide is smooth and solid and the doors are easy to open.

“I always encourage students to see the lifestyle benefits of good engineering – and my doors are a perfect example of that!”
