FAQs
The questions
worth asking.
A few of the questions we hear most often. If you have something more specific, start a project and we'll advise.
Sliding doors or bi-fold doors — which is better?
Neither is universally better. The right choice depends on the opening, sightlines, ventilation, how you want the space to open, structural constraints and budget.
How slim can aluminium glazing frames be?
It depends on the system, panel sizes, glass, structural requirements and performance specification. We assess those factors before recommending a system.
Can you specify rooflights and roof lanterns?
Yes. Rooflights and roof lanterns form part of the RÄHMEN glazing package and are specified around the architecture and desired quality of light.
Do you work with architects and builders?
Yes. We can work from early design-stage information through to supply, installation and final inspection.
Do you supply and install?
Yes. RÄHMEN manages the glazing package through specification, supply, installation and inspection.
What warranty do you provide?
Every installation includes the relevant manufacturer warranties, professional installation and a RÄHMEN-backed warranty package. Final terms are confirmed in the project proposal.
Where do you work?
RÄHMEN is based in North Yorkshire and works across Yorkshire and beyond, including York, Harrogate, Ripon and Leeds.
