What Are Bi-Folding Doors?

Bi-folding doors have become a coveted home improvement product, not just for builders and architects, but increasingly for forward-thinking homeowners as they’re at the very height of fashion – they exude sophistication.

You may have heard about bi-folding doors on TV programmes like Grand Designs, or indeed seen them without knowing that they in actual fact bi-folding doors, but what exactly are they?

Your handy guide to bi-folding doors

Most people are familiar with patio or sliding doors and how they operate – they slide along a track from one side to another.

Bi-folding doors do something similar, only as they slide open the panels gently fold like a concertina and stack up against the wall once they reach the end of the track.

Subsequently, a wide opening can be created to maximise views of the outdoors and open up indoor space to outdoor space in the most incredible way.

They also hugely differ in appearance to a patio door.

Because they’re predominantly crafted from aluminium, you get less frame and more glass than you generally would in uPVC patio door design. The slender sightlines are fabulously fetching on the eye.

Additional features of bi-folding doors:

• Minimal maintenance – the occasional wipe with a wet cloth will be enough to remove grime from the frames.
• The natural light that comes through the huge panes of glass will make the inside of your home feel more spacious and keep it warm.
• Outstanding security – our bi-folding doors carry the PAS24 ‘Secured by Design’ certification which means they satisfy the highest security requirements for windows and doors.
