Bi Fold Doors for Versatility and a Quality Look
In the past the only choice when one replaced their windows and did not want to use wood was grey aluminium. As a result, we are left with a legacy of spoiled period homes which in some cases constitute a fire hazard because windows were fashioned without big enough opening sashes to escape through.
Although of low 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 choose from.
For numerous years, there has been a very large market for patio doors, which provide convenience and provide light and air into a home whilst offering a extremely effective thermal barrier when shut. Patio doors have recently made way for the “Rolls Royce in this market which is now the tremendously variable Bi fold door. Anyone thinking of buying patio doors now should first be considering whether they could step-up their investment to a bifolding door.
Bifold doors can be arranged to span a very wide opening or smaller spaces, behaving when closed as a glass wall to allow in increased light and to provide panoramic views over the outside scene or garden. The whole wall can be in effect removed by opening the whole doors seamlessly integrating the room into the outside space. They are also ideal for maximizing space in limited situations such as an opening onto a balcony in a small apartment.
When fully opened the doors zig-zag compact either to the left or right or split into both sides so limiting their intrusion into the room or outdoor space. 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 latest materials, including hardwood, aluminium, PVCu and aluminium clad timber, this product is available in a large range of colours and finishes from specialist window companies. It is especially attractive in aluminium clad timber where the choice of colour on the maintenance-free aluminium outside can complement your homes outside whilst the wood’s grain and appearance can heighten any interior.
