Get ready for winter with energy efficient windows
Old and worn-out windows can be one of the main causes of heat loss in a home and so replacing these with new energy efficient windows can be highly cost-effective. Modern aluminium windows will bring a wide range of benefits to your home throughout the winter, including extra natural light, great aesthetics and much needed ventilation. But most importantly, our energy-efficient windows provide excellent thermal performance.
Thermal Insulation
Our quality aluminium window frames are designed with a polyamide thermal break system to ensure top quality insulation. Each frame is fitted with thermal breaks to resist thermal transfer and keep in the warmth. At Lite Haus UK, we only work with the those at the top of innovative design to ensure that our energy-efficient windows are the best in the market. This includes a full range of Origin and Schuco aluminium windows.Double Glazing
If your home is fitted with single glazed windows, you could be fighting a losing battle in keeping your house warm during the winter. A significant amount of heat can be lost through single glazing and so your energy bills will be much higher than they need to be. Energy efficient glazing reduces heat loss and can save you money on your heating bills. Aluminium frames are perfect for double and triple glazing; and with the support of fitted polyamide thermal breaks, cold spots, draughts and condensation can be eliminated.Long Lasting Durability
The corrosion resistant properties of Aluminium provide a hard-wearing frame protected against cold and rainy weather. This makes high-performing windows a great investment that will see your home through the winter for years to come.Get a free quote for energy efficient windows

Our quality aluminium windows are customised to suit your home so there are a number of factors that will impact the cost of your new aluminium windows. The size, style, colour and glass type will all influence the final price so you have the options available to customise your aluminium windows to work with your budget.Window Size
The size of your windows will determine the quantity of material and glass required, so the cost will increase if you’re replacing a large window or multiple windows in your home. If you’re extending your home or renovating, consider the size of the opening for your new aluminium windows to keep the price down. At Lite Haus UK, we can install windows to be stand-alone or integrated into curtain walling or ribbon windows.What RAL colour options are available?
Aluminium windows are available in a wide range of RAL colours so you can get the shade you want. The versatility of Aluminium allows for dual colour options, so the outside frames can be one colour and the inside frames a different colour to match your interior. An anodised finish is also available with Aluminium window frames to enhance the natural quality of the material. However both options are likely to be more expensive than one standard colour so you’ll have to weigh up creativity and expense if you’re working to a tighter budget.Aluminium casement windows
Aluminium is a highly flexible material so there are many design and style options available. With our Schuco casement windows you have a choice of five different sash profiles as well as angled profiles or ancillary profiles to create bay windows.Aluminium windows are a great investment

Bi-Fold Door Opening Options
Bi-folding doors offer a lot of flexibility to maximise the space on offer and provide better functionality than most traditional door styles. The number of panels you choose for your door will depend on the available space you have in your home and the ways in which you will use them. With bifolds you can also choose whether they will fold inwards or outwards, whichever style best suits your home. Most people tend to choose the outward opening for practicality. There’s usually more space to work with outdoors than indoors in a room full of furniture, and any rain or condensation left on the doors won’t drip inside when the doors are folded back.
Door Configurations
Folding doors slide in pairs so when you have an odd number of panels one of them can operate independently as a traffic or access door. If your door is a main exit point for your property then it is smart to include an access leaf in your configuration for easy access. Like a traditional door, you can go out into your garden without needing to fold every panel back. There are different configurations available when including a traffic door, depending on whether you have an odd or even number of panels. With an odd number, you can choose to have all panels sliding one way with a traffic door hinged at the end. However this design wouldn’t work with an even number of panes and so you would need to split them so that an odd number of panels open in each direction. So your traffic door would open one direction and the remaining panels would open the other way.2 & 3 PANELS
Two panel bi-folding doors are a stylish and unique solution when you need to replace your patio doors or French doors. Whereas a traditional 2 panel door has an entrance door that moves to sit behind the fixed panel, with a two panel bi-folding door both panes can slide to create a full opening. This makes them a stylish solution for a modern home and a great choice for making the most of a smaller space. With this folding door design, the panels can only move the same way so either both will slide to the left or to the right. Three panel bi-folding doors are a popular choice for many homes as they provide more flexibility. With this folding door design you can choose from three opening options: all door panels slide to the left, all slide to the right or two slide in the same direction and one door is hinged as an access leaf or traffic door. This final option is particularly ideal for homes whereby patio doors are used regularly and provide access to the garden as you can use the access door like a traditional design without sliding all the panels back.4 PANELS
Four panel bi-folding doors look amazing in spaces with a wider opening and offer four opening options. With four panels you can have them all moving to the left, all moving to the right or three folding back in one direction and one panel hinged as a traffic door. The final option available with this folding door design is the most popular choice when enough space is provided. Two doors, such as the centre two panels, swing open like traditional French doors, and the other two panels slide to each side. This provides a lot of versatility all year round and creates a fabulous feature in a room.5 PANELS
Five panel bi-folding doors create an amazing glass feature and have a range of configurations to suit different sized spaces. Similar to other door designs, all door panels can slide and fold in one direction, whether left or right, and one door can be hinged as a traffic door if desired. Additionally, the five panels can be separated into a 3-2 design so that three fold in one direction and the other 2 move the other way. This split arrangement is often favoured in homes to avoid a bulk of folding doors at one end when the doors have been fully opened.6 PANELS
Six panel bi-folding doors offer the same door configurations as four pane designs but with an additional panel at each end. The six leaves can all slide and fold to the left or the right, or be arranged into a 3-3 combination in which they move in opposite directions. The most common design with this many panels is to use an end leaf as an access door and have the other five panels slide to the opposite side. Alternatively, the traffic door could be hinged elsewhere in the door arrangement so that you have the desired number of panels moving either side to suit the space available.7 PANELS
Seven panel bi-folding doors create a unique glass feature desired by any ultra stylish modern home, whether they are open or closed. A folding door with seven panels can be configured in the same way as a door with fewer panes. All panels can fold in one direction, left or right, or be split into arrangements to slide in both directions. An access leaf can be added into the design or a French door opening can be worked in to suit your home. With a large bi-folding door such as this one, it’s important to consider the best arrangement for the space you have as not all homes will suit having seven stacked panels at one end of the opening.Get a Bi-Fold Door Quote from Lite Haus UK

Top 5 Benefits of Bi-Fold Doors
Have you ever wondered about the benefits of bi-fold doors and what they can bring to your home and garden? Well, here we take you through the top 5 reasons to invest in bi folding doors.
1. Let the Light In
Bi-fold doors are superb at letting light into your home. When closed, they behave as a wall of glass which allows far more light into a room than a standard window or door. Not to mention, upon opening bi-fold doors they completely fold away, removing all barriers from between the sun and your home. The difference that this can make to a space can be truly astounding, and clients often feel that their homes have been completely transformed by the addition of bi-fold doors.2. Durability
Lite Haus UK's Schuco folding doors come with a ten-year guarantee because we know they'll last far longer than their UPVC counterparts. Aluminium bi-fold doors perform much more effectively throughout the year's seasonal changes. They won't warp and bend in the heat. They're also much less likely to split and look dirty. A clear choice for durability. For this reason, Lite Haus UK won't supply UPVC products, because we don't want to be associated with a product that is less than outstanding.3. Aesthetics
Bi-folding doors have become a must-have addition to high-end interior design projects. Customers love them for the simplicity and sleek styling that they can bring to a space. What's more, bi-folds are transformative. They can change from acting as a sleek glass wall to a wide gateway to your gorgeous garden.4. Thermally Insulating
Each Lite Haus door is designed to be thermally insulating. There's also the option of installing solar control glass. This will specifically help your room to be cool in the summer and stay warm in the winter.5. Save Space
A great aspect of bi-folding doors is the way that they can completely fold away when opened up. This is incredibly effective at saving space in your home and looks very minimalist. This highly contrasts with UPVC french doors which have been popular in recent years. Each individual panel must open with these doors, which physically takes up a lot more space. Bi-fold doors in comparison neatly fold away to the edge of the frame.Get a Free Quote for Bi-Fold Doors
