bi-folding doors whistling and howling wind? please help

Rishi Raja
5 years ago
I recently had some wonderful bifold doors fitted across an 8m space. They look really great. However whenever there is wind hitting the doors it seems to create a whistling or howling wind sound within the rubber bits between the doors. my builder is trying to pass it off as nothing, but wanted to check if others experience the same and is normal? or if there is an issue and if anyone else has had this fixed somehow? it's driving me up the wall unfortunately. thanks for your help.

    I don't have doors like that but any whistling sound surely has to be a faulty seal? Perhaps contact the door manufacturers to ask so you have backup when you speak to your builder again. Hope you have withheld some money until everything is done properly?

    We have bifolds and that does not happen. It sounds like an installation cause, definitely worth contacting the manufacturer for clarification.
