Substitute doors and windows used to only be available in grey aluminium if you didnt want wood and the styles rarely bettered the aesthetics of the buildings they adorned. Accordingly, we are left with a legacy of spoiled period homes which in some cases constitute a fire hazard because windows were fashioned without big enough opening sashes to escape through.

Although of variable quality initially, white PVCu designs became available and have now become of outstanding quality.

House owners now have a much better choice of door and window materials and fashions to choose from.

The patio door market has been very big for many years because they offer an very good and convenient solution to let light and air in a house. They also provide an outstanding thermal barrier when closed. Patio doors have recently made way for the “Rolls Royce in this market which is now the enormously flexible Bifold door. If you are looking at purchasing patio doors bifold doors should be a consideration.

Bi fold doors can be configured to span a very wide opening or smaller spaces, behaving when closed as a glass wall to let in increased light and to provide wide views over the outside vista or garden. They can open an entire wall to allow smooth consolidation of external and internal areas, e.g., for parties or for children to play safely inside and outside on a beautiful day. Instead, they can serve to broaden available space in restricted areas, such as permitting inclusion of a balcony to form part of a small apartment on a fair day or brightening up an otherwise dark corner.

Fully opened, the doors concertina and store compactly to left, right or both sides to limit their intrusion. They can be configured to allow french style doors when full opening is not required and a single opening door for pedestrian access in the normal way.

Specialist Bifold Door companies offer the doors in hardwood, PVCu, aluminium and aluminium clad timber in a wide range of finishes and colours. It is especially attractive 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.
