Is there any point?

9 years ago

Is there any point asking questions on this site? Nobody has answered the question above (which I would like to know too) and, I have asked many questions on other topics but not once have I ever been answered! I think I'll leave Houzz

Maybe you should ask your questions in a different way. Closed questions like yours may be the wrong way to get the end result.
You could try and ask ...

Is there any point to bifold doors?
Q
Comments (5)
Hello, I have several clients who have really large bifold doors. They do look really great and can really make a house look the part, however there are drawbacks. A wheelchair bound client in Greater Manchester loves nature and was quite upset at the fact that the bees came in and weren't clever enough to get out again and then died. She wasn't able to usher them out herself. You are correct that if you open a large area then animals will come in. This same client also has a persistent neighbours cat that likes to come in and hide! In winter when it is really, really stormy and windy the wind can be felt through the doors. There have been a few problems over the years with the weight of the doors - they have had to be adjusted on occasion. They are made of aluminium and are 7 meters long. She rarely opens the doors fully - only one section. Another client also has a massive section of these doors. Her life is quite different and she lives in London where the climate is quite different. Her doors are often open but again not often fully open and it is in a new build house. It suggests that the doors act more as a massive window rather than doors! I am surprised that your builder has suggested wooden door for you. They will take upkeep and I imagine with the weight of the glass and the weather will make them move over time. I would think very carefully about this option if I were you. Look at different options and certainly don't let your builder bully you into anything. He/she doesn't have to live with it. What is your view like? Does it warrant the expense? Would it add value to your property? Do you like bifold doors? Do you know anyone in your area with them you could go and ask advice from? Good luck.

I’d like to recommend Blophome. It’s very easy to use and it has a large amount of kitchen furniture: Ikea, Maisons du Monde, Smeg, Elica, Alessi... You can change the doors, the handles, etc.

I know what you mean, it's very frustrating when you don't get a response
