Bifold Doors for Versatility and a Quality Look
28 October 2009In the past the only choice when one replaced their windows and did not want to use wood was silver aluminium. The consequence of this are many esthetically ruined period homes with windows which are now a fire hazard because they openings are too narrow to escape through.
Then they became available in white PVCu which were at first cheap and of low quality and bad design but which went on to become the excellent quality they are today and designed to suit the house ” not the pocket.
House owners now have a much better choice of door and window materials and styles to select from.
For numerous years, there has been a very big market for patio doors, which provide convenience and allow light and air into a home whilst offering a extremely effective thermal barrier when closed. Patio doors have recently made way for the Rolls Royce in this market which is now the hugely flexible bifolding door. Anyone thinking of buying patio doors now should first consider whether they could step-up their investment to a bifolding door.
When closed Bifolding doors behave as a glass wall providing great views of the garden or outside scene. They can open an entire wall to allow seamless consolidation of external and internal areas, e.g., for parties or for children to play safely inside and outside on a beautiful day. They are also ideal for maximizing 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 wood, aluminium, PVCu and aluminium clad timber, this product is available in a large range of colours and finishes from specialist window companies. It is in particular appealing in aluminium clad timber where the selection of colour on the maintenance-free aluminium outside can complement your homes outside while the wood’s grain and appearance can heighten any interior.
