Bring the Outdoors in with Bi-Fold Doors
Bi-fold doors, also known as folding or accordion doors, are a modern and versatile solution for creating large openings between indoor and outdoor spaces. These doors feature multiple panels connected by hinges, which fold and stack neatly to one or both sides of the opening.
Additionally when fully opened, bi-fold doors provide a seamless transition, maximising views and natural light. The panels also slide smoothly on a track system and fold in a concertina style, effectively opening the space without taking up much room.
Features & Benefits:
Design
Multiple Panels: Bi-fold doors typically consist of two or more panels connected by hinges.
Folding Mechanism: They fold and slide along a track to open fully, creating a wide, unobstructed opening between indoor and outdoor areas.
Stacking Options: Panels can stack inside or outside the building, depending on the design and space available.
Natural Light and Views:
Expansive Glass Areas: Bi-fold doors feature large glass panels that allow abundant natural light to enter the room, enhancing the sense of space and connection with the outdoors.
Panoramic Views: When fully open, bi-fold doors provide uninterrupted views of the garden, patio, or landscape.
Versatility:
Flexible Opening Options: Bi-fold doors can be partially opened to create a minor access point or fully opened to merge indoor and outdoor living spaces seamlessly.
Room Dividers: They can also be used indoors to divide larger rooms or create flexible living areas within the home.
Space-Saving:
Compact Stacking: Fold neatly to the side, requiring less space than traditional swinging doors or sliding doors that remain in place.

Robust Locking Mechanisms: Equipped with secure locking systems, including multi-point locks, to ensure the safety and security of the property.
