Substitute doors and windows used to only be available in grey aluminium if you didnt want wood and the styles rarely improved the aesthetics of the buildings they adorned. As a result, we are left with a legacy of spoiled period homes which in some cases constitute a fire hazard because windows were fashioned without big enough opening sashes to escape through.

Then they became available in white UPVC which were at first 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.

As the old-fashioned designs become obsolescent, house owners now have a embarrassment of window and door styles and materials to choose from.

For numerous years, there has been a really big market for patio doors, which offer convenience and allow light and air into a home whilst providing a highly effective heat barrier when shut. Patio doors have recently made way for the “Rolls Royce in this market which is now the hugely variable Bifold patio door. If you are thinking of purchasing patio doors you should consider investing in a bifold door.

Bifold doors can be arranged to span a very wide aperture or smaller spaces, behaving when closed as a glass wall to let in increased light and to allow sweeping views over the outside scene or garden. The complete wall can be effectively removed by opening the complete doors seamlessly incorporating the room into the external space. Alternatively, they can serve to expand available space in restricted areas, such as providing inclusion of a balcony to form part of a small flat on a fair day or lightening up an otherwise dark nook.

When fully opened the doors zig-zag compact either to the left or right or split into both sides hence limiting their intrusion into the room or outdoor space. They can be configured to allow french style doors when full opening is not required and a single opening door for pedestrian access in the normal way.

Specialist Bifold Door companies offer the doors in hardwood, PVCu, aluminium and aluminium clad timber in a wide range of finishes and colours. Although costly, aluminium clad timber, gives you the quality finish inside and the choice of colours and low maintenance options provided by aluminium cladding.
