How Bifold Doors Can Transform Your Home

Bifold doors can completely transform your home in more ways than one. They're supplied with a whole range of benefits you may not even have considered before!  

Whether you choose stylish aluminium bifold doors or durable PVC bifolds, you’re sure to make an impact! Find out just how they can transform your home. 

Energy Efficiency 

Bifold patio doors are incredibly energy efficient. Their low U-Value double glazed glass panes help with insulation in the winter and cool down your home in the summer, thanks to the vacuum-like space between the two panes of glass. 

Most bifolds come complete with a single traffic door. These doors swing open in and out like a normal door and don’t require the full folding of the bifold to operate. This is useful for moving in and out of the home in the colder months, as it doesn’t let out as much heat as the full concertina effect of the doors would. 

Increase Living Space 

Bifolds can completely transform the way your space can be used. Many people are amazed at how frequently they use their gardens or patio areas once they have easier access to these spaces. 

Opening your bifold doors essentially makes your garden part of your living room or dining room, which is perfect for entertaining on a summer evening, or enjoying a meal outside in the warmer weather. Your space is increased dramatically with the addition of bifold patio doors, more naturally than you probably ever realised! 

More Natural Light 

One of the biggest selling points of bifold doors is their ability to flood the home with more natural light. Natural light can make your home feel more open, and is beneficial to your mind too – small amounts of exposure can vastly improve your mood or wellbeing. 

The slim frames and huge panes of glass that bifolds boast help to give you more of a view of the outside, bringing you closer to the outdoors whether the bifolds are open or closed! 

Home Value 

Bifold doors can transform your home in more ways than visual. In fact, you will often benefit from making your money back on the cost of bifolds, due to the value they are known to add to a property. 

House buyers tend to understand the benefits bifold patio doors can bring to a lifestyle, and because of this, bifolds can often add around 5-10% to the value of your home! 

Garden Access 

Bifold doors are the go-to option for simplifying garden access from your property. Since bifolds are often installed at the back of the house, they can be opened to provide better access to the back garden. 

You’ll be able to make the most of summer and your outside space by making the garden an extra extension to your home, and a space to use more frequently than you probably do currently! 

Level Thresholds 

If you’re looking to make the connection between the inside and outside of your home even more seamless, bifold doors can be fitted with a flush threshold, meaning the interior and exterior floors are on the same level. 

Not only does this look more aesthetically pleasing, but it reduces trip hazards and makes your home more accessible. 

Installation combined with this method is a little more complicated due to the need to understand the aperture of the floor, plus the need for expert surveying and installation. If you’re looking for this level of finish, it’s not worth attempting a DIY installation – definitely hire a professional in this instance!
