DDG is introducing the IconiK F80 Slim bifold door system in January 2026.

Slimmest Bifold Doors in the UK — 87mm Sightlines for Maximum Light
If you’re planning a home renovation, extension or full upgrade in 2026, sightlines, energy efficiency and long-term value are likely at the top of your list.
That’s why DDG is proud to introduce the IconiK F80 Slim — the slimmest aluminium bifold doors available in the UK, combining ultra-minimal design with exceptional thermal and structural performance.
Designed for modern living and engineered for real family life, the F80 Slim delivers more light, better comfort and a noticeably more premium finish than standard bifold systems.
Whether you’re opening up a kitchen extension, rethinking your ground floor layout, or investing in your forever home, these slimline bifold doors are built to enhance how your home looks and how it feels to live in.
One of the biggest frustrations homeowners experience with traditional bifold doors is bulky frames that block light and interrupt views.
The IconiK F80 Slim solves this with an ultra-slim 87mm meeting stile, delivering the slimmest sightlines currently available on an aluminium bifold door system.
Why slim sightlines matter:
- Larger glass panes for uninterrupted views
- Significantly more natural daylight
- Rooms that feel brighter, wider and more open
- A cleaner, more architectural finish to extensions
- A premium look that instantly elevates your home
This is minimalist design done properly — subtle, elegant and impactful.
Designed as one of the slimmest bifold doors in the UK, the F80 Slim combines architectural aesthetics with long-term performance.
Are Slimline Bifold Doors Worth It?
Homeowners often ask whether slimmer frames are purely aesthetic — or whether they make a genuine difference.
In reality, slimline bifold doors change how a space performs:
- More glass means better daylight penetration
- Improved connection between indoors and outdoors
- A stronger sense of flow between rooms
- Higher perceived value in modern homes and extensions
With the F80 Slim, you don’t have to compromise strength or efficiency to achieve this look.
Exceptional Thermal Efficiency — Lower Heat Loss, Lower Bills
Keeping homes warm, efficient and future-proof has never been more important.
Despite its slim profile, the F80 Slim offers excellent thermal performance, meeting and exceeding expectations for modern aluminium bifold doors.
Thermal performance:
- 1.3 W/m²K with double glazing
- 1.0 W/m²K with triple glazing
What this means for your home:
- Warmer interiors during winter
- Reduced heat loss through large glazed openings
- Cooler, more comfortable spaces in summer
- Lower long-term energy costs
- Improved overall energy efficiency ratings
U-values are a key measure of how well doors retain heat within the home.
These slimline bifold doors are designed to support modern building regulations and rising energy standards — making them a smart long-term investment.
Designed for Real Family Life — Smooth, Strong & Built to Last
Slim does not mean delicate.
Each door leaf in the F80 Slim system can support up to 130kg, thanks to precision-engineered aluminium profiles and high-performance roller systems.
This results in:
- Smooth, effortless opening and closing
- Exceptional day-to-day reliability
- Long-term durability, even with frequent use
- A solid, reassuring feel every time the doors are operated
Whether it’s children running in and out or hosting friends and family at weekends, these doors are designed to perform consistently for years.
Are Slim Aluminium Bifold Doors Secure?
Security is a common concern when choosing large glazed doors — especially for family homes.
The IconiK F80 Slim is PAS 24 security certified, meaning it has been independently tested to resist forced entry.
Security features include:
- Concealed multi-point locking systems
- Robust aluminium construction
- Advanced weather-tight seals
- High-quality hardware designed for modern security standards
You get peace of mind without compromising on aesthetics.
