Bi Fold Doors for Versatility and a Outstanding Look
Replacement doors and windows used to only be available in grey aluminium if you didnt want wood and the styles rarely bettered the aesthetics of the buildings they adorned. Accordingly, we are left with a legacy of ruined period homes which in some cases are a fire hazard because windows were designed without large enough opening sashes to escape through.
Then they became available in white PVCu which were firstly cheap and of low quality and poor design but which went on to become the excellent quality they are today and designed to suit the house ” not the pocket.
As the old-fashioned designs become obsolete, house owners now have a superfluity of window and door styles and materials to select from.
The patio door market has been very big for many years because they offer an very good and convenient solution to let light and air in a house. They also provide an excellent thermal barrier when shut. Patio doors have recently made way for the Rolls Royce in this market which is now the tremendously variable Bifold patio door. If you are looking at purchasing patio doors bifold doors should be a consideration.
Closed Bifold doors behave as a glass partiton permitting great views of the garden or outside panorama. The whole wall can be effectively removed by opening the whole doors seamlessly incorporating the room into the outdoor space. Instead, they can act to extend available space in restricted areas, such as permitting inclusion of a balcony to form part of a small apartment on a fair day or brightening up an otherwise gloomy corner.
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 modern materials, including wood, aluminium, PVCu and aluminium clad timber, this product is available in a good range of colours and finishes from specialist window companies. It is particularly attractive in aluminium clad timber where the choice of colour on the maintenance-free aluminium outside can complement your house’s outside whilst the warmth and grain of the woods can heighten any interior.
