Bi Fold Doors for Flexiblity and a Quality Look
In the past the only option when one replaced their windows and did not want to use wood was grey aluminium. The result of this are many esthetically ruined period homes with windows which are now a fire hazard because they openings are too small to escape through.
Although of variable quality initially, white PVCu designs became available and have now become of excellent quality.
House owners now have a much better choice of door and window materials and fashions to select from.
The patio door market has been very big for many years because they offer an excellent and convenient solution to let light and air in a house. They also provide an excellent thermal barrier when closed. Patio doors have recently made way for the “Rolls Royce in this market which is now the tremendously versatile Bi fold door. Anyone looking to buy patio doors now should first consider whether they should increase their investment to a bifolding door.
Bi fold doors can be organized to span a very wide opening or smaller spaces, behaving when closed as a glass wall to let in enhanced light and to offer wide views over the outside vista or garden. The complete wall can be in effect removed by opening the whole doors seamlessly integrating the room into the outside space. They are also ideal for increasing space in limited situations such as an opening onto a balcony in a small apartment.
Fully opened, the doors concertina and store compactly to left, right or both sides to limit their intrusion. If full opening is not required the doors can configured as french style doors or even as a single opening door.
Available in most of the most up to date materials, including timber, aluminium, PVCu and aluminium clad timber, this product is available in a good range of colours and finishes from specialist window companies. Although costly, aluminium clad timber, provides you the timber finish inside and the selection of colours and low maintenance options provided by aluminium cladding.
