Doors for Versatility and a Quality Look
In the past the only option when one replaced their windows and did not want to use wood was silver aluminium. The upshot of this are many aesthetically spoiled 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 PVCu which were firstly cheap and of low quality and poor 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 fashions to select from.
For many years, there has been a really large market for patio doors, which offer convenience and allow light and air into a home whilst offering a extremely effective thermal barrier when shut. Patio doors have recently made way for the Rolls Royce in this market which is now the hugely flexible Bi fold door. Anyone looking to buy patio doors now should first consider whether they could step-up their investment to a bifolding door.
Closed Bifold doors behave as a glass wall providing great views of the garden or outside vista. They can very easily open up an entire wall to allow smooth integration of external and internal areas, e.g., for parties or for children to play safely inside and outside on a beautiful day. Alternatively, they can act to expand available space in restricted areas, such as permitting inclusion of a balcony to form part of a small apartment on a clement 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.
Available in many modern materials, including hardwood, aluminium, PVCu and aluminium clad timber, this product is available in a good range of colours and finishes from specialist window companies. It is especially attractive in aluminium clad timber where the choice of colour on the maintenance-free aluminium outside can complement your house’s exterior whilst the beauty and warmth of wood can enhance any interior.
