A folding door comprises a number of panels which the user can fold or unfold to open or close the door. The door is also dubbed ‘bi-fold door’ However, naming it a Bi-fold door is not quite accurate as it usually encompasses 2, 4, or more panels. The panels move along a track with the aid of rollers, and the user can pull them back to one side using a knob.
They are suitable for separating any two spaces and can extend over a considerable width, thus gaining an advantage over traditional doors with regard to both accessibility and visibility. Choosing to install bi-fold doors will prove a brilliant addition to any home, providing a stunning contemporary environment to work, rest and play.
It’s the most effective way of opening up your home without compromising the amount of open space you can bring in, while being the focal point of any kitchen, dining extension or lounge. There are many reasons why bi-fold doors are an ideal home improvement solution.
When bi-fold doors are open they take up very little space meaning they cause virtually no disturbance to your home’s natural flow. Unlike patio doors, which must slide behind another window or door, bi-fold doors collapse back on themselves offering the benefit of opening up your wall completely.
A greater level of security is offered with bi-fold doors as they feature multi-point locking systems, internally beaded frames and high-security hinges, whereas other types of glass door tend to have just one locking point.
Like most other windows and glass doors, they require cleaning regularly with detergent to ensure they stay looking spotless. But as they don’t have multiple panes or frames they’re generally easier to clean than most, and other than that you can just sit back and enjoy them.
Bi-fold doors make your home look vintage and slick on the outside and provide a luxurious addition overall. You can choose from a range of styles and colours to either match the rest of your home or stand out to make a statement.
