Why You Should Choose Bifold Doors

Bifold doors are one of the most prominent and popular features in new build modern homes at the moment. Their sleek modern design has catapulted them into the forefront of design culture but what are bifold doors and why should you choose them for your home?

What are bifold doors?

Essentially bifold doors are a series of glass panels that can be folded together and pushed to the side of a wall, opening up the room to the outside world. They can come in a variety of sizes with some doors spanning the entire length of a room or building. This type of design is why they have become so popular with open plan layouts as the room can easily be transformed into an open airy space. The doors work using a series of rails running along the top and bottom of the panels. These rails are connected to the door using trains which have a series of small wheels attached to them. When someone wishes to open the doors they can simply push on the door toward the wall and the panels will seamlessly fold into each other and slide back to the wall. This cleverly thought-out design means they are both easy to operate and maintain.

So, that's what bifold doors are but why should you choose them?

Security

You might think that due to the extensive amount of glass used in bifold doors that they wouldn't be very secure. However, this is in fact far from the truth. Modern glass is now incredibly strong as almost all bifold come with double glazing. Some even feature triple glazing which is both strong and heat efficient. It’s not just the glass though, the bolting systems on bi-fold doors are extremely capable and use incredibly hard-wearing metals. 

Modern design

As far as first impressions go there's nothing better than walking into an open-plan room and seeing light flood in from a large window. Installing bifold doors is arguably one of the fastest and sleekest ways to achieve this as the large glass pains attract light like nothing else. The open-air feel of these widows also highlights the modern feel of your home, allowing the outside to seamlessly connect with the inside.

Easy maintenance

Because the frames of most bifold doors are made from strong and long-lasting aluminium you won't need to worry about too much maintenance. Simply wash the frames down once in a while and you’ll be good to go.

 

Bifold doors are a trusted and proven way to improve your home's character. Whether it’s your kitchen or your living room you can be sure they’ll be light flooding in through your new floor-to-ceiling windows.
