Premium bifolds, built to fit perfectly — every time.
Origin’s bifolding doors are made in the UK and engineered for smooth operation, slim sightlines and long-term reliability. Whether you’re specifying for a modern extension or a high-end renovation, there’s an Origin bifold to match the brief — from the proven OB72 to the ultra-slim OB49 and the latest OB36 / OB36+ platforms.
Choose the right Origin bifold for your project
Origin bifolds are all made-to-measure, powder-coated in a huge choice of colours, and designed to deliver the same high level of quality across the range. The real differences come down to aesthetics (sightlines), performance options, and the overall style you’re trying to achieve.
Strength, versatility, and a track record installers trust.
The OB72 is Origin’s long-standing bifold system — a solid choice when you need confidence on larger openings and a product that performs consistently from order to installation. It’s a favourite for trade projects where reliability matters and you want a system that’s been proven on thousands of UK installs.
- Reliable fabrication: consistent build quality means fewer site adjustments and less snagging.
- Versatile configurations: suited to a wide range of openings and folding arrangements.
- Everyday practicality: smooth operation, durable finish, and simple ongoing maintenance.
- Trade-friendly: a safe recommendation when you need a “fit-and-forget” bifold spec.
A slimmer look that makes the glass the star of the show.
If the goal is to maximise glazing and minimise framing, the OB49 is the one to look at. It’s designed for a sharper, more modern aesthetic — ideal for homeowners chasing that clean architectural finish and for installers working on design-led projects where sightlines are a key part of the brief.
- Premium aesthetics: slim sightlines that create a lighter, more open feel.
- Great for “wow factor” openings: where the view and daylight are the priority.
- Refined engineering: smooth glide and confident movement set-to-set.
- Perfect for upgrades: a strong spec for customers comparing against higher-end systems.
Next-generation styling with clean, modern detailing.
The OB36 builds on everything people love about Origin bifolds, but with a more modern design language. It’s a strong choice for contemporary homes, new builds and extensions where you want slimmer proportions and a crisp, premium finish without going full “industrial”.
- Sharper aesthetics: ideal when you want “premium modern” rather than traditional proportions.
- Config flexibility: tailor opening direction, stacking and traffic door options.
- Weather & comfort: engineered to support strong sealing and thermal performance with the right glass spec.
- Installer confidence: consistent manufacturing helps reduce site time and adjustment work.
Steel-look style — with aluminium performance.
The Soho Collection is all about aesthetics. Think heritage-inspired “Crittall-style” lines with modern manufacturing and long-term practicality. OB36+ Soho is the choice when customers want a statement piece — perfect for high-end renovations, kitchens/diners and projects where interior styling matters as much as the exterior.
- Soho styling: creates that steel-inspired look across wider openings.
- Design continuity: works brilliantly with matching windows/doors for a consistent scheme.
- Trade value: a strong upsell option when the customer wants something more premium than standard bifolds.
- Low maintenance: aluminium durability with the aesthetic of steel.
Soho vs Contemporary — which is right?
Both collections are crafted to the same Origin standards. The difference is the design intent: Soho gives you a steel-look statement, while Contemporary is clean, minimal and modern.
