In the past the only option when one replaced their windows and did not want to use wood was grey aluminium. Consequently, we are left with a legacy of ruined period homes which in some cases are a fire hazard because windows were fashioned without large enough opening sashes to escape through.

For numerous years, there has been a very large market for patio doors, which provide convenience and allow light and air into a home whilst providing a very effective thermal barrier when closed. Patio doors have recently made way for the “Rolls Royce in this market which is now the hugely flexible Bifold door. If you are looking at purchasing patio doors you should consider investing in a bifold door.

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 enhanced light and to provide panoramic views over the outside scene or garden. The whole wall can be in effect removed by opening the complete doors seamlessly incorporating the room into the outside space. They are also ideal for increasing space in restricted situations such as an opening onto a balcony in a small apartment.

Fully opened, the doors concertina and store compactly to left, right or both sides to limit their intrusion. They can be arranged 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 product in hardwood, PVCu, aluminium and aluminium clad timber in a wide range of finishes and colours. Although costly, aluminium clad timber, provides you the quality finish inside and the selection of colours and low maintenance options that aluminium cladding offers.
