Bifold French Glass Doors

Bifold French Glass Doors

Choosing doors for your property may seem like a trivial decision but when it comes down to decorating what is effectively your kingdom, finding the right furniture and fittings is key. Your decision can be made even more difficult by the vast range of options available, from pine and oak doors, to glazed and hardwood doors and room dividers.

French & bi-fold doors may appear similar and in some respect they are- because you can get bi-fold French doorframe, but there are some differences. French doorframe are effectively two doors that open outwards or inwards, whereas bi-fold may include a few panels or glass panelled doors that can fold back, almost as a modern replacement to the sliding patio door.

Sliding patio doors open up the world outside your home in a way that French doors haven't. They allow more light to enter the home and offer the homeowner unbroken views of his garden. However, the sliding patio door has not replaced French doors altogether and the choices and styles of both patio doors and French doors have an equal share in manufacture and sales. Bifold doors are a relatively new addition to the choices in patio doors. If inside space is at a premium, then the bifold door may be a good option.

Bifolds add a little more simplicity to a room than the sliding doors and they fold into a smaller space than French doors. The folds almost disappear, offering the homeowner the feeling of living outside. They can be expensive, however, so choosing the bifold door will depend on your budget. Sliding patio doors can offer almost the same ambiance to your space as one large pane of glass slides in front of another.
