Bifolding doors are an excellent alternative to sliding glass doors, but they can be more expensive. Therefore, it’s best to learn about the strengths and weaknesses afforded by these door styles before making a final decision as to whether they should be installed in your home by Central Glass & Aluminium.
What It Is
A bifolding door slides on a framing system at the bottom and top of the frame. They fold into themselves from two different points, which means they can offer more space and an aesthetic appeal. Likewise, they’re fully retractable, so you don’t have a door in your way and can access all areas of the home. They’re extremely popular for homes and offer elegance and functionality to the door and the area.
Strengths
The primary benefit of these doors is that they’re fully retractable and can come with a UPVC or aluminium frame. Likewise, they can be made up to 10 metres wide, which makes them perfect for almost any space. You can also find a wide variety of colours, especially if you choose the aluminium frame, which means they can match any décor beautifully. You’ve also got a wide range of opening options, and they’re regulated and tested thoroughly.
Weaknesses
The primary weakness of these doors has nothing to do with the reliability of the item itself. They’re more expensive than some of the alternatives, which means you may need to save up the money to have them installed.
Likewise, if you choose a UPVC frame, it can contract during the cold and warm months, though you can always choose the aluminium options, which gives a multitude of colour choices.
Bifolding doors must be installed by a professional, as they must be precise or they won’t operate correctly.
