Bi-fold doors: yes or no?
There's no escaping the fact that bi-fold doors are becoming ever more popular with people looking for a garden room or home extension. Are they here to stay, or is it a passing trend?

We use bi-folding doors in a lot of our kitchens as clients cannot resist one when they see it. They can be very useful within a kitchen or any room as below:

Comments (3)This is a great idea to make working at home easier. nice natural light and fresh air. so much better than all that artificial stuff....See MoreHelp to find mechanism to operate integral blinds in bi-folding doors
Comments (21)Hi Perrin out of interest is it a detachable cord that you attach by magnet to the top of each bifold door to operate the blinds & then detach & store in a cupboard? We saw these at the Ideal Home Show last year & ordered them when we purchased our bifold doors/windows. However, unfortunately when we returned home on installation day the wrong blinds had been fitted & we didn’t like the white strip down each pane. I’ve just paid the deposit to get the blinds changed to anthracite (to blend in better!) but am wondering if yours are what we had initially seen but could never source?!...See MoreBi-fold doors or Sliding doors?

Comments (17)I’m getting an ultraline sliding door fitted in our new extension in a few weeks. 2.4 high x 4.4 wide. The frames are 20mm. It’s about £10k and I can’t remember off the top of my head whether that includes VAT (probably not unfortunately). But our number one goal with our extension is to connect our living space to our garden, so it feels right to prioritise budget for it. You don’t need a local company necessarily as national companies will have local agents who have product in their showrooms. This has been tricky over the last few months but we also looked at local friends’ houses last summer, where they had installed various different brands of sliders and bifolds, and were able to get a good feel for them from their gardens! Good luck with your research....See More

7 years agoIt is personal choice - and it comes down to what a customer is looking to achieve from their project. The comment above about only getting properly used in summer is complete valid, as too is the overall size of the doors, where they are located on the house, what the view is like out of the property...indeed there is so much to consider we wrote and entire blog on the subject.
