Bi-fold doors are a great accompaniment to any home style. Providing your home with a sleek, modernist look with doors that simply fold away, there are many benefits to consider when installing bi-fold doors into your home. Here are 10 reasons why we think you should consider installing bi-fold doors.
1 – Blends your house with your garden
The large window frames which comprise your bi-fold doors are just perfect for seamlessly blending your house with your garden. When the doors are stacked, you have a huge open space where your home meets your garden, allowing for milling around in parties, or simply admire the aesthetics of your garden and surrounding landscape from the comfort of your home.
2 –Natural Light
The frames for Bi-fold doors are minimalist in nature, with larger window panes that allow a huge amount of natural light into your home no matter what the weather. With soaring energy prices, not needing to turn your lights on during the day can really help keep money in your pocket.
3 – Compact Easily
As the doors fold in on themselves, you can move the doors to wherever there is more space. If you are hosting a party or are moving in larger furniture, you can slide the bi-fold doors to your garden, giving you more access and greater room. We’re sure we don’t need to tell you the benefits of this on a hot sunny day!
4 – Secure locking system and durable glass
As bi-fold doors can be moved and stacked on its sliding rack, the locking system is spread out over multiple points making it harder for intruders to enter. Compared to single pane doors or sliding doors which typically only have one point for their respective locking systems, you can sleep assured knowing that if there was an intruder, the time and effort it would take to overcome the integrity of the bi-fold would often be enough to put off the burglars. The glass used for bi-fold doors tends to be tempered.
5 – Flexibility
As the doors can be slid in or out, and stacked however you wish, you can decide just how much of your doors you wish to move, and you can stagger them in a diagonal fashion which lets face it, if you can do it, you’ll definitely want to try it.
6 – Aesthetic
If our description of bi-fold doors hasn’t given it away by this stage, Bi-fold doors are perfect with a range of designs. Obviously the aesthetic of being able to see more of your garden from the inside is appealing, but seeing the warm glow of your home from the outside is too. Frames for bi-fold doors come in a range of styles and colours, meaning they will complement the interior design of your home. You’ll barely notice the glass is there, except to feel the warmth, so be careful not to walk into it!
7 – Combination of style
Due to the nature of bi-fold doors, they form a hybrid of traditional french doors and sliding doors in terms of their style. The main difference is in the way that they are opened along their sliding rack, but if you’re stuck for choice bi-fold doors can be the perfect combination of both styles.
8 – Energy Efficient
There’s no need to install a home air conditioning unit when you can open your bi-fold doors and let in the gentle breeze of a hot summer’s day. Conversely, as the glass used is tempered, it is thicker, allowing you to retain more natural warmth in your home.
9 – Easy to install
