They can slide to the left or right to leave you with an uninterrupted view of your outdoor area. As the frames are made from uPVC, you can select from a white or woodgrain finish.

Bi-fold doors are aesthetically pleasing and can help to create a much larger and brighter living space. They allow plenty of light to enter your home even when the doors are closed, which means they’ll lift a dark room as soon as they’re installed. The flowing natural light will also make your home appear more attractive and encourage you to spend more time relaxing indoors.

The huge glazed panels enable you to keep an eye on your family when playing outside and the airflow will be much better when the doors are open. This can help to save money because you won’t need to rely on air con systems to keep you cool during the warmer months of the year.

You’ll also have convenient access to your outdoor area and be able to potter back and forth with complete ease. As they concertina back on themselves, bi-fold doors are a great solution for both small and large properties. Most versions come with multiple-point locking systems as well, meaning a better level of security compared to alternative types of doors.

One of the nicest things about bi-fold doors is that they require very little maintenance. Most of the structure is made up of the glazing, so they’ll only need a good clean every couple of weeks.

While bi-fold doors can help to create a beautiful open space, they do have their disadvantages. Having said that, they are considered a luxury item and the cons aren’t terrible. However, you do need to be aware that the frames will carve the view when the doors are closed. Most frames are very slim so it shouldn’t be too much of a problem. The only other disadvantage it that they can look bulky when stacked up at one end of the opening.
