Bifolds fold right back to open a whole wall, more dramatic than a slider but with more hardware and panels, so they cost more per metre of opening.
Ways to save
- Aluminium bifolds cost less than timber and need far less maintenance outdoors.
- An internal PVC bifold is the cheapest option for a laundry or robe.

What a bifold door costs in Perth
A bifold door in Perth is priced mainly by the width of the opening and the panel material, with aluminium the durable, lower-maintenance tier and timber the premium one, and the glazing moving the price. A wide bifold that opens a living room to an alfresco suits the Perth lifestyle and the hot, dry Mediterranean climate's long outdoor season, so big many-panel sets are common. The intense summer sun on a west-facing bifold drives heat through the glass, so a heat-reflective or double glazing and a quality frame are worth it there.
Perth's common double-brick construction makes the opening a specific job, because cutting a wide bifold span into a double-brick wall needs a structural lintel or beam engineered for the masonry and a licensed builder, which is a bigger task than framing an opening in a timber-framed home. The dry climate is kind to a timber bifold compared with the humid north, so timber is a safer choice here. The isolation of the WA market can add some freight and lead time to a specialist or imported door. Labour sits near the national average.
Supplying and fitting the bifold is glazier and carpentry work, and a structural opening is building work needing a licensed builder and an engineer's beam design under WA Building Services, with council approval where the wall is load-bearing. For a Perth home, the clearest way to price a bifold door is the door by width, material and glazing plus any structural opening, with the double-brick lintel and a sun-rated glazing on west openings factored in, so the quote separates the door from the building work.
