In the past the only option when one replaced their windows and did not want to use wood was silver aluminium. The result of this are many esthetically ruined period homes with windows which are now a fire hazard because they openings are too small to escape through.

Then they became available in white PVC which were firstly cheap and of poor 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 selection of door and window materials and styles to select from.

For many years, there has been a really large market for patio doors, which offer convenience and provide light and air into a home whilst offering a very effective thermal barrier when closed. Patio doors have recently made way for the “Rolls Royce in this market which is now the hugely variable Bi fold door. Anyone looking to buy patio doors now should first be considering whether they could step-up their investment to a bifolding door.

Bi fold doors can be configured to span a very wide aperture or smaller spaces, behaving when closed as a glass wall to allow in enhanced light and to provide sweeping views over the outside scene or garden. The complete wall can be effectively removed by opening the complete doors seamlessly integrating the room into the external space. Alternatively, they can serve to broaden available space in restricted areas, such as allowing inclusion of a balcony to form part of a small flat on a fair day or brightening up an otherwise gloomy nook.

When fully opened the doors zig-zag compact either to the left or right or split into both sides hence limiting their encroachment into the room or outdoor space. 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 doors in hardwood, PVCu, aluminium and aluminium clad timber in a wide range of finishes and colours. It is particularly attractive in aluminium clad timber where the selection of colour on the maintenance-free aluminium outside can complement your house’s exterior while the beauty and warmth of wood can heighten any interior.
