In recent years the popularity of French doors has been overtaken by that of bifold patio doors. There are several reasons for this, and we’ll take a closer look at some of them here. Do bifold doors increase the amount of light in a room? Are they as secure as other types of doors? What about design and colour, and will they cost more to install? These are all questions we can answer.

Here at IronGlaze, we’ve been installing double glazed windows and uPVC doors since 1978. Therefore, we have a wealth of knowledge and experience, and we always put the customer first. Read on to discover some of the benefits of bifold patio doors for your home.

Let the light flow in

When describing an interior space that they like, many people use the words light and airy. Light has become a precious commodity, and many a house sale has been made on the strength of it. A kitchen or living room with plenty of light seems more spacious and attractive. Because of their simple design, external bifold doors let in more light than other traditional style doors.

Convenient and easy to use

Bifold doors are designed to fold in or out, creating a spacious opening to your garden or an adjoining room. With a raised tracking system that runs along the panels they are very easy to operate. A traffic door can be incorporated, which opens while the others stay closed. This is perfect when the weather is less warm but you still want to enjoy the view of your garden.

The security question

It’s believed by some that patio doors are an invitation to intruders, but that isn’t the case. A range of security options are available that make bifold doors an extremely difficult point of entry. Efficient locking systems make it easy for you and your family to open the doors, while providing excellent overall security. You can rest easy while enjoying all the benefits of bifold patio doors.

Styling it out

If your home is more classic in style than contemporary, you may think traditional French doors are the answer. One of the many advantages of bifold doors is their flexibility in terms of design. They can be made in a range of colours and finishes to match any style you like. There is even a range of glazing options, from standard toughened glass to solar control Anti-sun.

One size won’t fit all

Larger houses may require larger bifold doors. But that design flexibility we mentioned means they can be made to whatever size is required. From palatial mansions to small cottages, bifold patio doors are the perfect option for any dwelling.
