Bi-Fold Doors – Easy When You Know How

Patio doors have evolved from the mid 1900s from fully-glazed but basic sliding or opening doors whose construction was sometimes questionable to cleverly designed, beautifully made and exquisitely finished bi-fold doors.

The advantages of bi-fold doors over traditional sliding patio doors is that unlike the latter that typically only open up half of the available opening, bi-fold doors fold back to just a few inches of the opening so considerably more of the outside can come in.

Their folding format, which typically means there are several, smaller door units to an opening compared to just two for a traditional sliding patio door, makes them particularly suitable for renovations.

Where external access to the back of the property may be restricted, bi-fold doors can be carried through the house to where they are needed which is sometimes a problem with larger panels of sliding or French patio doors. And with more and more houseowners choosing to improve their properties rather than move home during a depressed housing market, bi-fold doors give them the opportunity to extend living space into the garden in a way that is stunning in itself.
