Bifold Doors for Flexiblity and a Quality Look
Substitute doors and windows used to only be available in grey aluminium if you didnt want wood and the styles rarely improved the aesthetics of the buildings they adorned. Therefore, we are left with a legacy of ruined period homes which in some cases constitute a fire hazard because windows were fashioned without big enough opening sashes to escape through.
Then they became available in white PVC which were initially cheap and of low quality and poor design but which went on to become the excellent quality they are today and designed to suit the house ” not the pocket.
House owners now have a much better selection of door and window materials and styles to choose from.
The patio door market has been very big for many years because they offer an excellent and convenient solution to let light and air in a house. They also provide an excellent thermal barrier when shut. Patio doors have recently made way for the Rolls Royce in this market which is now the enormously variable bifolding door. Anyone thinking of buying patio doors now should first consider whether they could step-up their investment to a bifolding door.
Bifold patio doors can be arranged to span a very wide aperture or smaller spaces, behaving when closed as a glass wall to allow in increased light and to offer wide 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 outdoor space. They are also perfect for increasing space in restricted situations such as an opening onto a balcony in a small flat.
Fully opened, the doors concertina and store compactly to left, right or both sides to limit their intrusion. They can be organized to provide french style doors when full opening is not required and a single opening door for pedestrian access in the normal way.

Although expensive, aluminium clad timber, provides you the quality finish inside and the selection of colours and low maintenance options that aluminium cladding offers.
