If you're researching aluminum bifold doors, the first question is always the same: how much does it actually cost?

What's NOT Included: Freight Shipping
Bifold doors are large, heavy, freight items. They ship via LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) freight to a curbside location — not standard parcel carriers.
Typical freight cost: $1,500–$2,300, depending on your delivery zip code, door size and weight, and delivery location (residential vs commercial).
How it works: After you place your order, our team contacts you within 24 hours with the exact freight quote. You confirm and pay the freight cost before the order ships. Delivery takes 2–4 weeks from order confirmation.
How to Calculate Your Total Cost
Total = Door price + Freight
Example for an 8ft × 6'8" bifold (most popular size):
Door: $3,733
Freight (estimate): $1,700
Total estimate: ~$5,433
What Drives Bifold Door Cost?
1. Width
The biggest cost driver. More width = more panels = more material and hardware. A 20ft wide door costs roughly 4× more than a 5ft door.
2. Height
80" (6'8") vs 96" (8ft) adds about 20% to the price. Taller panels use more glass and frame material.
3. Frame Material
Aluminum costs more than vinyl upfront — but lasts significantly longer with zero maintenance. Over a 20-year lifespan, aluminum wins on total cost of ownership.
4. Color
Black and white are standard pricing. Custom RAL colors add cost — typically $300–$800 depending on size.
