Just spotted that these are reduced at the moment in B&Q and wondered if the U value of 2.0 is good, ok or bad for these kind of doors:

I am wondering if its worth shopping round, my limit is really around 2k for one of the 2.4m wide tri-fold doors.

Anyone??

Thanks!

It complies but only just. Bear in mind you generally get what you pay for! Also worth bearing in mind is the spares avaialability. This is especially important on folding sliding jobbies. B&Q are notorious for providing poor aftercare ie spares etc.

I'm in the process of shopping around for my new extension, I'll get a price for you from a supplier by me, their quality is top notch. Just be a bit careful with B&Q quality and spares.
