Exclusive Windows and Doors of Houston · Houston, TX
Bi-Fold Doors
Folding glass door systems that stack away to open the whole wall — precision-installed Loewen and Fleetwood bi-folds for Houston homes.
Bi-fold doors fold the wall away. Panel after panel stacks to the side until the dining room and the terrace are one space — and unlike a pocketing wall, a bi-fold needs no hidden cavities, which makes it the practical choice for remodels as well as new builds. Exclusive Windows and Doors of Houston supplies bi-fold systems from Loewen and Fleetwood, and installs them with the alignment obsession these precision systems demand.
A bi-fold is a machine as much as a door: carriers, pivots and seals must be set true or the system drags, whistles and leaks. Our installers set, adjust and test every leaf, and show you the operating sequence before they leave — a five-minute lesson that keeps the system feeling new.
What You Get with Our Bi-Fold Doors
Fold-away panels
Leaves fold and stack neatly to open up to 90% of the span — no pocket construction required.
Daily access leaf
A conventional swing leaf in the run lets you step out without unfolding the whole system.
Top-hung engineering
Weight carried from the head track means smooth operation and a clean, low sill below.
Loewen & Fleetwood systems
Two proven bi-fold platforms to compare in person at the Montrose showroom.
Weather-sealed sills
Full weather sill options for exposed locations, low-profile where the design demands it.
Indoor-outdoor dining favorite
The classic choice for kitchens and dining rooms opening to patios and pool decks.
Options & Materials
Choose the fold pattern first: all panels stacking left or right, or a split stack, with the access leaf placed where your daily traffic flows. Outward-folding suits most Houston patios; inward-folding protects the stack in tight outdoor spaces. Sills range from full weather-rated profiles to low step-over designs. Finishes and hardware come from each brand's palette, and glass runs from clear insulated to impact low-E. Bring a photo of your opening — showroom staff will sketch the realistic configurations for it on the spot.
How the Job Works, Step by Step
- 1
Free consultation & measuring
It starts with a free consultation. We look at your existing openings, talk through what you want to change, take exact measurements and note anything unusual — out-of-square frames, deep sills, HOA rules — that affects the plan.
- 2
Written quote, no pressure
You receive a written quote that spells out the product, the scope and the total price. No vague allowances, no pressure to sign on the spot. Take the time you need to compare.
- 3
Order & scheduling
Once you approve, your products are ordered or made to the exact measurements from step one. We confirm an installation date that fits your schedule and tell you how long the work will take.
- 4
Installation day
Our installers protect floors and furniture, remove the old units, fit the new ones, seal and trim the openings, and test every unit before they leave. Most homes are finished the same day.
- 5
Walkthrough & cleanup
We walk the finished work with you, show you how everything operates, register any warranty paperwork and take all packaging and old materials away. The room is left clean and ready to use.
Care & Maintenance
Bi-fold hardware is precision equipment: keep the track channel clean and free of grit, wipe pivot points, and lubricate hinges and carriers yearly with the specified product. Panels should always be opened and folded in sequence — never force a leaf against the stack. In coastal air, rinse exterior aluminum and check seals seasonally. If a panel starts to drag or a seal whistles in wind, call for adjustment early; small alignments done promptly keep the system feeling new for decades.
What Affects the Price?
No two homes in Houston are the same, so honest pricing starts with a look at your actual project. These are the factors that move the number most:
- Number of panels and total span
- Configuration — inward or outward fold, stacking direction
- Glass package including impact and low-E options
- Sill type — weather-sealed versus low-profile
- Structural header work for existing openings
For general planning numbers, see our Price Guide — those are market ranges, not our prices. Your exact, written price comes free with your quote: call (713) 528-6200.

Bi-Fold Doors — Frequently Asked Questions
Do bi-fold doors open the whole wall?+
Panels fold and stack to one or both sides, opening most of the span. Pocketing sliding walls open 100%; bi-folds typically open around 90% — but fold neatly where pocket construction is not possible.
Are bi-folds weather-tight in Houston rain?+
Yes, quality bi-fold systems with proper weather sills perform very well. The key is specification and installation: we match the sill and sealing system to your exposure and will advise honestly if a location is too exposed.
Can a bi-fold replace my existing patio doors?+
Frequently, yes — a sliding patio door opening can often be widened or reworked for a bi-fold. The header must be assessed, which is part of our free estimate.
How secure are bi-fold doors?+
Multi-point locking on the access leaf, locking shootbolts on folding leaves and laminated glass options make modern bi-folds genuinely secure. We demonstrate the hardware in the showroom.
How much do bi-fold doors cost?+
The honest answer is that it depends on size, material and the condition of the existing opening. Beware of anyone who quotes a firm price without measuring. Exclusive Windows and Doors of Houston measures first and then gives you a written quote with the full price — free — so you can compare it properly.
How long does a typical bi-fold doors project take?+
Measuring and ordering take the first part of the timeline; the on-site work for most homes is completed in a day. Larger or custom projects take longer, and we give you the schedule in writing before you commit, so you can plan around it.
Do you offer free estimates?+
Yes — call (713) 528-6200 and we will arrange a free consultation and written quote. There is no obligation and no pressure to decide on the spot.
Do you serve my part of Houston?+
Exclusive Windows and Doors of Houston serves the areas listed on our Service Areas page. If your neighborhood is close to a listed area but not named, call us — we will tell you straight away whether we can reach you.
What should I prepare before installation day?+
Clear the area around each opening, take down curtains or blinds if we are not replacing them, and move fragile items away from the work zone. Our team protects floors and furniture, and removes the old units and packaging when the job is done.
Can bi-fold doors be customized for unusual sizes or shapes?+
In most cases, yes. Arches, angled tops, oversized openings and out-of-square frames are measured individually and made or ordered to fit. Bring us the awkward opening — it is usually the one that benefits most from a custom solution.
What information helps my quote be accurate?+
Rough measurements (width × height in inches), a photo of each opening, and a note about what you want to change. Send those when you call (713) 528-6200 and your written quote will be faster and closer to the final number.
What happens if something is not right after the job?+
Call us. Exclusive Windows and Doors of Houston stands behind its work: if something we supplied or installed is not right, we come back and make it right. That is how a local business keeps its name — one fixed problem at a time.
