Origin bi-folds are the driving factor for the new look at this Countryside Golf Club
“The view since installing Origin products has really added to the appeal in the bar area for our Golf Societies, as they are able to see everything as if they were stood outside.”

The clubhouse was in need of renovation as the current doors and windows were rotting and allowing draught to enter. It was decided that modernisation was needed, so they had the vision of creating a large expanse of bifolding doors to let more light in but to also have the ability to have a vast open space in the warmer weather.
Why Origin?
Having had issues with timber doors and windows they had decided to specify aluminium due to the durability that it offers. When deciding which aluminium company to choose, the Golf Club wanted to ensure the investment was going to be long-term. Having spoken to Basfords, an Origin Trade Partner, they learnt that the bi-folds and windows came with a 20-year guarantee which gave complete peace of mind knowing these products are designed to last. The design of the products also provide a modern style, which will keep the products fashionable for the foreseeable future.
When Basfords were in the tender stage with the Golf Club they advised that Origin would be the one stop shop for all of their fenestration needs. With the ability to provide the full project from one aluminium supplier, with also the best lead times within the industry, Basfords and the Golf Club owner agreed there was no better place to order from than Origin.
Product Choice
To keep consistency across the building, the Golf Club opted for the OW-80 windows and OB-72 bi-folds, as these are the closest match for frame thickness across the Origin range. The 2 sets of 3+0 bi-folds are the quickest bi-fold configuration to install which allowed for Basfords to fill the aperture with no difficulty and kept the total install to just the morning, meaning they were able to complete multiple installs in the day for each install team.
Benefits from specifying Origin
As the bi-folding doors are at different angles, it was amazing to be able to get one continuous cill with mitred ends from Origin. Other manufacturers are unable to offer this which can cause there to be a colour clash. As Origin manufacture all the frames and cills, the RAL colour match is identical which creates a clean finish for the products.
Origin also assisted this installation to provide on-site training to a team of installers, whom had not installed aluminium bi-folding doors on an angled cill. This training is imperative for correct installations as the team who were there are now able to install this style of bi-fold with confidence.
