3-5 Days Lead Time
The bi-fold exists for one reason, and it is a good one: it needs no floor to open. The door folds inward on itself rather than swinging out, so it can sit opposite a basin, a WC or a doorway in a bathroom where a pivot door would be unusable. In a small ensuite it is frequently the only door that fits. Pliant is 6mm toughened safety glass at 1850mm, on a concealed hinge that folds and holds without needing to be pushed into place. The wall profile carries 60mm of adjustment for a recess that is out of square. Reversible, so it suits an opening on either hand. Matt black or chrome. Guaranteed for life.

How much space does it need to open?
Almost none. The door folds inward on itself rather than swinging outward, so you need only enough room to stand beside it. That is the whole reason to choose a bi-fold over a pivot.
What size do I need for my recess?
Measure the opening at the top, the middle and the bottom, and order to the smallest of the three. The 60mm adjustment in the profile absorbs the difference. Ordering to the widest measurement is the most common mistake and the door will not fit.
Is a bi-fold harder to clean than a single door?
There is one more edge to wipe where the two panels meet, and the hinge benefits from being run under the shower occasionally to stop limescale building in it. Beyond that the easy-clean coating behaves the same as on any door in the range.
