Bi-fold and folding shop fronts in Teesside
Installing a bi-fold in Teesside usually means taking out the old front, and teams working across the North East can plan that around your trading hours.
Neighbours and licensing conditions can matter once the front opens, so businesses in the North East should check any noise limits on their Teesside premises first. Wind exposure differs across the North East, so we match the sill, seals and track to the position of your Teesside frontage.

Which towns do you cover?
Common questions
Do you cover all of Teesside?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Teesside, including Middlesbrough, Stockton-on-Tees.
Can a bi-fold front be used as a fire exit?
Not by default. An escape door must open easily without special knowledge, and a multi-panel fold often does not, so the traffic door or a separate exit usually serves that role. Your fire risk assessment should cover this and be kept up to date.
Are bi-fold shop fronts secure?
Yes, when they are closed with multi-point locks and hinges that cannot be lifted out from outside. Each panel locks to its neighbour, with shootbolts into the head and floor. For higher-risk premises, laminated glass or an internal grille adds further protection.
Will a folding front let in draughts?
A well-fitted system seals when closed, using gaskets and a weather bar at the sill. The trade-off is at the threshold: a flatter track is easier for wheelchairs but less weather resistant. We design the sill around the exposure of your frontage and any drainage needed.
