Each system offers its own combination of sightlines, design character and performance, making it easier to find an Origin door that suits both your property and lifestyle.
Every Origin door is made to measure, with extensive choices across colours, configurations, hardware and styling.

Origin aluminium doors are designed for homeowners who want more natural light, stronger indoor-outdoor connections and dependable long-term performance. Precision-engineered from premium-grade aluminium, both the bifold and sliding door ranges combine slim sightlines with the strength needed to support large glazed areas and expansive openings. Performance is built into every system. Origin doors feature advanced thermal technologies, secure multi-point locking, and precision-engineered components to support year-round comfort, smooth operation, and robust everyday security. Selected systems can achieve U-values as low as 0.78 W/m²K, while Origin’s external door ranges are engineered to meet PAS 24 requirements.
Every Origin door is also made to measure, giving you control over sightlines, colour, configuration, hardware and overall styling. With over 150 RAL colours available and up to 20-year part guarantees, the range offers the flexibility to create a door that complements your home while being built for lasting use.
Every home and project calls for something different. That is why Basfords offers six Origin aluminium door systems, each designed around a different balance of sightline, architectural style and everyday use. From ultra-slim bifolds that fold away to panoramic sliding doors built around expansive glass areas, the collection offers the flexibility to find a system that feels right for your home.
Ultra-Slim | High Performance | Architectural
The Origin OB36+ is designed for homeowners who want to maximise glazing while keeping visible aluminium to a minimum. Its ultra-slim 36mm sightline creates a refined, contemporary appearance that brings more natural light into the home and works particularly well across modern extensions and ambitious architectural projects.
The OB36+ is also Origin’s most thermally efficient External Door system, with U-values as low as 0.78 W/m²K depending on specification. Large configurations can accommodate apertures of up to 15 metres, while premium hardware and extensive customisation options allow the finished design to be tailored around your property.
Balanced | Versatile | Refined
The Origin OB49 provides a considered balance between slim proportions, strength and timeless styling. Its 49mm sightline introduces more glass and a cleaner visual appearance than the original OB72 while retaining enough presence to complement both contemporary and heritage-inspired properties.
Precision-engineered running gear supports smooth, quiet operation, while a broad choice of configurations, colours and finishes makes the OB49 particularly versatile. For homeowners looking for an aluminium bifold door that suits a wide range of architectural styles, the OB49 offers an elegant middle ground.
Timeless | Substantial | Proven
The Origin OB72 is the system that established Origin’s aluminium bifold door range. Its wider 72mm sightline gives the door a more substantial appearance, adding traditional character while retaining the precision engineering and modern performance expected from an Origin product.
Made from premium-grade aluminium, the OB72 is an excellent choice where a stronger frame presence complements the property’s architecture. Its combination of classic proportions, dependable operation and extensive configuration options makes it equally suited to renovations and established homes.
Panoramic | Minimal | Contemporary
With an ultra-slim 29mm sightline, the Origin OS29+ is designed to make the glazing the focal point. Large glass panels and minimal aluminium framing create near-panoramic views, making the system particularly suited to contemporary extensions and homes where maximising natural light is a priority.
The OS29+ can be specified for apertures up to 13.1 metres and offers a flush-stacking option for an even cleaner appearance when opened. PAS 24 security, bespoke configurations and Origin’s exclusively curated hardware complete a sliding door designed around both architectural impact and everyday performance.
Balanced | Elegant | Versatile
The Origin OS44 combines a refined 44mm sightline with the strength and versatility required for a broad range of properties. Its proportions balance expansive glazing with visible framing, creating a design that feels equally at home in considered refurbishments and contemporary new builds.
Specially engineered running gear helps the panels move smoothly and quietly, while bespoke colours, configurations, and hardware let you personalise the OS44 to your project. It is an ideal choice for homeowners who want a clean modern appearance without moving to the ultra-minimal proportions of the OS29+.
Classic | Bold | Reassuring
The Origin OS77 offers a more substantial 77mm sightline for homeowners who prefer a stronger, more traditional sliding-door aesthetic. Its bold aluminium profiles add definition to large glazed openings and can sit particularly well alongside existing windows and doors with wider frame proportions.
Despite its more classic appearance, the OS77 incorporates modern Origin engineering, smooth operation and PAS 24 security. The result is a sliding door that combines familiar proportions with contemporary aluminium performance and long-term durability.
Choosing between Origin bifold and sliding doors depends on how you want the opening to look, feel and function. Both ranges provide large areas of glazing and a strong connection between your home and garden, but they deliver that experience differently.
Origin bifold doors are designed to concertina and stack neatly to one side. This lets multiple panels fold away, creating a wide, open transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. With configurations of up to 14 sashes available, bifolds are particularly well suited to extensions, open-plan kitchens and projects where opening up as much of the aperture as possible is a priority. Origin sliding doors prioritise expansive individual glass panels and uninterrupted views when closed. Panels glide smoothly along precision-engineered tracks, with options to slide left, right or from the centre. Sightlines range from the ultra-slim 29mm OS29+ to the more traditional 77mm OS77, so you can match the finished appearance to your property.
For homeowners who value a wide-open entrance, bifold doors may be the better fit. If your priority is larger panes of glass, fewer visual interruptions and panoramic views, an Origin sliding door could be the stronger choice. Basfords can help you compare both systems and find the right configuration for your home, available space and design priorities.
