What are the benefits of having a bi-folding door?

Natural Lighting 

Unlike standard sliding doors, bi-folds allow you to open up an entire wall, connecting your indoor space to your garden in seconds. With smaller frames and large windows, a bi-folding door lets maximum light into your room; perfect during the summertime. Bringing extra light into the room can instantly change the feel of a room. Alternatively, if you'd like to control how much light enters your room, blinds can be easily installed into your bi-folds. Furthermore, allowing more natural light into your home means you spend less money on artificial energy. 

Stunning, practical and impressive doors

                                                                                                    Aesthetically Pleasing

Our Bi-Folding doors are available in a range of styles and colours, allowing you to find the aesthetic that matches your home. Whether you want your bi-folding doors to stand out, or blend in with your brickwork, there's an option to suit everyone. Our bi-folds also look great in both modern and traditional homes. Anthracite grey and realistic wood finishes are just two of the popular colours and finishes of bi-fold doors. The fantastic thing about bi-folds is that they look great from both inside and outside.

Security

At first, it wouldn't be a surprise to think that a door with so may glass panels would be easy to break into, but fortunately, that isn't the case! Unlike your standard door that has one central lock, bi-folds have several bolts spread across it, maximising safety and stability. There are locks at different points along the doors' sliding track, making the door secure and impenetrable. If security is essential to you, bi-fold doors are perfectly suited to you, as opposed to standard french doors, for example.

                                                                                               Little to no maintenance

With Bi-folds, you'll benefit from the minimal maintenance required. Bi-folding doors are designed with longevity in mind. They're able to last long under all types of weather conditions. Whether rain, snow or wind, bi-folding doors remain intact. The only maintenance required is an occasional clean with a light detergent and water. Luckily, these doors are easy to clean. With a small, thin frame, and double-glazing, it is easy to pinpoint dirt and ensure a thorough clean. Ideally, cleaning them once a month will keep them in pristine condition.

Compact & Flexible 

Unlike your typical sliding door, a bi-fold allows you to fold your 'wall' away to provide you with more space. Our standard front and back doors are typically immobile and can't move; however, bi-folding doors can be opened as much or as little as you'd like. They provide far more flexibility to suit your lifestyle, giving them superiority over other glass doors. Furthermore, when opened, bi-folding doors take up hardly any space, which is perfect if you have a small outside area. Also, they won't get in the way of any activities. 

                                                                                                                    Garden Access

Bi-folding doors are the perfect solution to bringing outdoors, indoors. As these doors consist of multiple panels, you have the option to open your door halfway or all the way. These doors are especially beneficial for wheelchair users or people with reduced mobility. This due to the fact that they're easy to operate and allow for quick and easy entry. They're perfect for any occasion, for example, if you're hosting garden parties and BBQ's etc. and would like quick and easy access to your home.
