Replacement doors and windows used to only be available in grey aluminium if you didnt want wood and the styles rarely bettered the aesthetics of the buildings they adorned. The outcome of this are many aesthetically spoiled period homes with windows which are now a fire hazard because they openings are too narrow to escape through.

And then they became available in white PVCu which were firstly cheap and of low quality and bad design but which went on to become the excellent quality they are today and designed to suit the house ” not the pocket.

House owners now have a much better choice of door and window materials and styles to select from.

The patio door market has been very big for many years because they offer an outstanding and convenient solution to let light and air in a house. They also provide an excellent thermal barrier when shut. Patio doors have recently made way for the Rolls Royce in this market which is now the enormously flexible Bi fold door. If you are considering purchasing patio doors you should consider investing in a bifold door.

Bifold patio doors can be organized to span a very wide opening or smaller spaces, behaving when closed as a glass wall to allow in enhanced light and to offer wide views over the outside scene or garden. The whole wall can be in effect removed by opening the complete doors seamlessly incorporating the room into the external space. Instead, they can serve to broaden available space in limited areas, such as permitting inclusion of a balcony to form part of a small apartment on a fair day or brightening up an otherwise dark corner.

Fully opened, the doors concertina and store compactly to left, right or both sides to limit their intrusion. If full opening is not required the doors can configured as french style doors or even as a single opening door.

Specialist Bifold Door companies offer the product in hardwood, PVCu, aluminium and aluminium clad timber in a wide range of finishes and colours. It is especially appealing in aluminium clad timber where the choice of colour on the maintenance-free aluminium outside can complement your house’s outside whilst the wood’s grain and appearance can heighten any interior.
