Bi-fold doors have become extremely popular and will likely continue to be popular. If you look at an episode of Grand Designs, you will likely see these doors being used quite frequently. This is because they allow a lot of light to enter properties while still providing a great deal of privacy. They are solidly constructed and are very easy to use. There are bi-folding sliding doors that are great for businesses as well as homes that want to enjoy more light. They also allow extra space to be converted into an extra room.
There are many benefits of bi-fold patio doors and we will now take a closer look at them.
Easy To Maintain
These bi-folding doors are typically made from UPVC and aluminum, which does not require much maintenance and will look great for many years. All you need to do is wash the doors occasionally and use oil every so often.
Slim Profile
Bi-fold door designs are very slim in comparison to French doors or most other types of patio doors. Due to being so slim, they enable great visibility while still being extremely strong and durable. They also provide a very modern and contemporary appearance.
Extremely Practical
These type of doors allow you to fold and stack them whenever you want to. They also allow you to move easily from one room to the next as well as from inside of the property to outside of it. In smaller spaces, using French doors or sliding patio doors may not work well, such as when you need the door to open onto a balcony or small patio. However, bi-fold doors can easily fold so you won’t have any issues with access. There are also low threshold folding patio doors that are great for persons who use wheelchairs or are disabled due to the fact that they provide a wider access area.
Safety
Due to these doors being quite slim, there is the maximum amount of glass and visibility when they are closed. However, these doors are great at thermal efficiency and are weatherproof. These doors are also extremely secure even though they offer such great access. Due to this, bi-fold doors are used both commercially and in residential homes.
Modern Aesthetic
These doors use very modern sliding and folding technology and will work well for many years without giving any trouble. The design is quite flexible and they provide a very modern and contemporary look that many people enjoy.
Versatile
When there is sunny weather you can fully open these doors to provide integration between your home and your garden. This is a great way to provide easy and free movement into and out of your home.
