Bifold doors are steadily becoming one of the most in-demand home improvement products. More and more homeowners are being converted to the exceptional benefits in ventilation, access and aesthetics that bifold doors can offer a property.
What are bifold doors?
Similar to patio doors, bifold doors, as you can deduce from their name, operate by folding and sliding. They are mounted in pairs, on rollers that are connected to a metal track that runs along the top and bottom of the door frame. As you open a bifold panel, it folds back, letting you open up as much or as little of a room to the outside as you require. The huge glazed areas of bifold doors have led to them becoming known as ‘window walls’.
The concept of bifold doors has existed for several thousand years, but the technology has only really been perfected in the last decade. Excavations at Pompeii have shown that the Romans were familiar with folding door technology. Modern bifold doors are usually made from uPVC or aluminium for slimmer sightlines that enable more glazing to be accommodated in the unit, and improved thermal and acoustic insulation. Here at Falcon, we offer a variety of high performance bifold doors. Why not enquire about a free quote?
Why bifolds are perfect for home improvements
1. They have impressive aesthetics that can revitalise your home
One of the most popular reasons that homeowners decide to improve their properties is the desire to improve the aesthetics of their home. Adding a home improvement, such as new windows or doors to your property, can often help to revitalise its appearance. Bifold doors are the perfect product for this.
With an exceptionally sleek design, large glazing areas and a breath-taking opening action, the aesthetics of bifold doors (whether opened or closed) can truly help to enhance the appearance of a property.
2. They are incredibly versatile
With easily customisable hardware such as handles, hinges and locks, and a huge range of colours and finishes to choose from, bifold doors are incredibly versatile. They can be made to suit the aesthetic of most homes. Here at Falcon for instance, we can even offer the option of timber effect frames so that you can seamlessly emulate the appearance of real wood bifolds.
3. They allow you to customise ventilation and access like never before
Because of their innovative sliding and folding opening mechanism, bifold doors allow you to have complete control over the ventilation and access of a room. If you need to ventilate a portion of the room, a couple of bifold panels can be opened. If you’d rather ventilate the entire room, you can slide back all of the bifold panels. Effectively, bifold doors let a room be opened up completely to the outside, blurring the boundaries between home and garden.
4. They have great energy efficiency properties
At Falcon, we supply all of our bifold doors with the best double glazing for enhanced thermal and acoustic insulation. Thanks to their energy efficiency-focused design, thermal breaks and low thresholds our bifold doors can help to keep a property warmer for longer and save you money on your energy bills.
