Fixing a Leaking Bifold Door in a Stunning Art Deco Home – Weston-super-Mare

At Doorveloper, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality solutions tailored to the specific needs of every home we work on. Our recent project took us to a modern Art Deco property on the seafront in Weston-super-Mare, where the homeowner was experiencing water ingress through their bifold door.
The Problem: A Leaking Bifold Door
Seafront properties are exposed to extreme weather conditions, with wind-driven rain often finding its way through vulnerable points in windows and doors. The large bifolding door in this home had developed a leak, which risked damaging the interior and compromising the long-term integrity of the property. Given the home’s sleek Art Deco design, it was essential that any repairs not only solved the problem effectively but also maintained the home’s stylish appearance.
Our Solution: EPDM Membrane Tray Installation
After thoroughly inspecting the issue, we determined that the best approach was to completely remove the bifold door to access the underlying structure. Once removed, we installed a high-performance EPDM membrane tray, a waterproofing system designed to redirect any moisture away from the building. This method provides long-lasting protection against water ingress, making it particularly well-suited for coastal properties where exposure to the elements is a constant challenge.
Reinstallation & A Flawless Finish
With the waterproofing solution in place, we carefully reinstalled the bifold door, ensuring a perfect fit and a seamless finish. Precision was key—not only to restore the home’s aesthetic appeal but also to guarantee that the bifold operated smoothly and remained fully weatherproof.
A Happy Customer & A Fantastic Review
Customer satisfaction is at the heart of everything we do, so we were thrilled to receive such positive feedback after completing this project. You can read the homeowner’s review here:
