Bi-Fold Doors Deliver the Clearest View

In recent years, the demand for high quality bi-fold doors has rocketed. Fuelled by the likes of architects, designers and homeowners, the benefits of connecting a home to the outside world are quickly being recognised.

Unlike French doors or traditional sliding patio doors, bi-fold doors can be put in across the entire width of a room and opened fully to create a seamless transition into a terrace or garden. Bi-fold doors also have the unique ability to be installed round a corner to flood the room with natural light and provide huge space savings. Bi-fold doors fold concertina style and slide, stacking neatly to one or both sides when open.

Though bi-fold doors are undoubtedly stylish and have many advantages, there are several points which should always be considered when purchasing. A large area of glass can affect heat retention, so make sure that thermal efficiency is optimum. In addition to this, look for doors which have gone through testing to withstand extreme weather conditions.

Sliding and folding doors need high quality mechanisms for smooth operation, durability and functionality; but no-one wants to make life easy for burglars, so look for a multi-point locking system. Frame strength is also very important, particularly when considering a multi-door system for a wide opening.
