BI-FOLD AND PATIO DOORS: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

What is a bi-fold door?

Bi-fold doors consist of several panels that are hinged together on a concealed track which fold away unobtrusively, opening up the doorway and drawing light into the darkest of spaces. As they allow a whole wall to be replaced with glass panels they enable access to 100% of the aperture area. Additionally, bi-fold doors have seen a surge in popularity in recent years as they add a contemporary look to any property and are the ideal solution for extending your home into your outdoor living space.

What is a patio door?

Patio doors work on a frictionless sliding basis and are sometimes referred to as ‘sliding patio doors’. Unlike bi-fold doors, as they overlap with one another you will only gain access to 50% of the aperture area. Patio doors also do not project outwards like bi-folding doors therefore are more suitable to properties with limited or restricted outdoor space.

Key benefits of bi-fold and patio doors

As restrictions begin to lift, many job roles have now evolved to where working from home for part or all of a job role will remain the norm. Consequently, people are currently spending more time at home than ever before. Therefore, there is a wealth of benefits to having bi-fold or patio doors installed in your property:

  • Increase productivity – Bi-fold and patio doors allow a significant amount of natural sunlight to flow freely into the home, which can boost energy levels if you’ve noticed a dip in productivity since working from home.

  • Attractive – They are visually pleasing and can modernise an older property.

  • Seamless – They create an extension of the living room into the garden or the bedroom out onto a balcony, making the inside and outside of your property blend effortlessly.

  • Enjoy the summer – As the days are now longer, brighter and sunnier, bi-fold and patio doors are the perfect addition to any property to utilise the extra warmth and sunlight during the summer months.

  • Energy efficient – Replacing older doors with bi-fold or patio doors can help reduce energy bills.

  • Desirability – bi-fold and patio doors are a beautiful feature to any home, creating a brilliant focal point.

  • Low maintenance – Bi-fold and patio doors require very little maintenance to stay looking impeccable.
