What are bifold doors?
You may know them as bi folding doors, foldable doors, or folding doors. Whatever you call them, bifold doors have two or more sections and open by folding each section flat against the next.
Check out our photo gallery to see the bifold doors we’ve installed for some very happy customers and learn more about them!
Why should you buy a bifold door?
Not only are bifold doors aesthetically pleasing and look great in any home, but they can also add a huge amount of value to your home.
If you’re wondering what the exact benefits are, we have a few listed here to help with your decision.
Maximise natural light
External bifold doors are great at letting light into your home. Even when closed, the huge glass panes allow light to shine through.
This can transform a dimly lit room into a welcoming sunlit area perfect for socialising.
Easy to clean
Despite the large glass panes, these doors couldn’t be easier to clean.
This is because they don’t have multiple panes or frames, making them super low maintenance and saving you time and money in the process!
Compact
Due to the folding doors, bifold doors take up very little room in your home, making them perfect for smaller spaces.
Now, you can get a complete view of your garden without anything disrupting your line of sight.
Energy efficient
Unlike some backdoors, bifold doors have energy efficiency at their core.
The window glazing is designed to retain heat, so when it gets too hot, you can open the doors and let the cool, fresh breeze in.
This offers a great return on investment, as not only will bifold doors increase the value of your home, but they can also save on your energy bill.
Brings you closer to nature
Bifold doors are a great way to connect your home to your garden.
Experience the great outdoors from the comfort of your home by opening up your space to nature.
Common problems
As great as bifold doors are, no product is perfect, and there are some downfalls that you need to be aware of.
