Hi all.

Noticed a draft in our kitchen earlier today from the upvc bifolds, on closer inspection it seems the door has shrunk in the cold and the seal no longer touches the outer frame at the top and bottom, the bottom is worse.

The frame is plumb so it seems the door needs adjusting to pull both the top and bottom corners in and make the doorset wider.

Had a look at this again today in proper daylight.

Turns out there was still adjustment in the main hinge on the left most leaf (pictured)

Also in the top and bottom corners the internal black seal has compressed so it no longer touches the door making the gap appear worse, I've temporarily packed this seal out with some stick on foam and I'll revisit it once it's warmer.

Hopefully that'll stop the new kitchen loosing its heat so quickly and just generally feeling cold.

Thanks
