There are many benefits of using bi-folding doors when finishing, renovating or remodeling an interior space. They can come in any design to fit a particular design style. A bi-fold door is a set of panels that has two or more hinged sections, usually folding in pairs. The doors can be opened from either side for one pair, or fold both sides for several pairs.

Larger bi-fold door systems are used as room dividers, barn doors, and even airplane hangar doors. They are usually hung from overhead tracks and suspended by rollers or casters. The innermost door panel has a knob or a door-pull which allows the user to fold the door panels together.

Bi-fold doors eliminate the problem of supporting a large overhead door in a commercial garage or airplane hangar with a low threshold options that offer unrestricted floor space. These doors can be hung in a series, making them ideal as room dividers. The same tracking used for sliding door systems can also be incorporated into bi-fold doors. The design of a bi-fold door allows the panels to fold on themselves without changing the orientation of the suspended casters or rollers. Because the tracks and casters receive some unusual stresses from the opening and closing action, bigger and heavier bi-fold doors are usually equipped with pivot floor tracks to prevent the panels from swinging and to add structural stability.

There are many different types of bi-folding doors currently on the market. Wood used to be the most widely used material, but now doors are also made of metal or glass. Some of them are available with a raised panel, flat panel, v-groove panel or as glass French doors.
