Doors for Versatility and a Superior Look
Replacement 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. Consequently, we are left with a legacy of spoiled period homes which in some cases constitute a fire hazard because windows were designed without large enough opening sashes to escape through.
Although of poor quality initially, white PVCu designs became available and have now become of outstanding quality.
As the old-fashioned designs become obsolete, house owners now have a superfluity of window and door styles and materials to choose from.
The patio door market has been very big for many years because they offer an excellent and convenient solution to let light and air in a house. They also provide an outstanding thermal barrier when shut. Patio doors have recently made way for the Rolls Royce in this market which is now the tremendously versatile Bi fold door. If you are looking at purchasing patio doors bifold doors should be a consideration.
Closed Bifold doors behave as a glass partiton providing great views of the garden or outside scene. The complete wall can be in effect removed by opening the whole doors seamlessly integrating the room into the outside space. Instead, they can act to expand available space in restricted areas, such as providing inclusion of a balcony to form part of a small apartment on a fair day or brightening up an otherwise gloomy corner.
Fully opened, the doors concertina and store compactly to left, right or both sides to limit their intrusion. They can be configured to provide french style doors when full opening is not required and a single opening door for pedestrian access in the normal way.
Available in most of the most up to date materials, including wood, aluminium, PVCu and aluminium clad timber, this product is available in a wide range of colours and finishes from specialist window companies. It is in particular appealing in aluminium clad timber where the selection of colour on the maintenance-free aluminium outside can complement your house’s exterior whilst the wood’s grain and appearance can heighten any interior.
