fold down bed - any good?

2 months ago

We are thinking of getting a fold down bed for our guest bedroom to save space in a fairly small room. Are they any good?

I thInk to get a decent one it could be quite expensive. I'd rather look for a nice sofa bed or a modular sofa that could be used as a bed when required. I recently bought a futon as a spare bed and although it's practical I don't like the look of it at all.

You might want to check out Clei and The London Wallbed Company, they both offer a range of stylish and reliable options. But if budget is in question, a sofa bed may be a better option like Isla suggested! I highly suggest doing your research before making a purchase

Hello. How about keeping the part of the kitchen that looks over the back garden as a utility room?Then use a combination of the rest of the kitchen, dining room and a squared of sun room to become the new kitchen/ diner. The sun room name gives me the clue that this may well be the best spot in the house so this should be part of where you spend most of your time, the new kitchen. The front door stays where it is but is made more of a feature with a nice porch. Having a kitchen diner that goes from the front to the back of the house (ie with utility room) takes away having to turn the house around. Your other reception rooms will seem small by comparison but you really will spend the majority of your time in this new space.

Hi Justin, thank you for taking the time to reply to our query. It is difficult to compare systems because Deceuninck have not published very much technical information about that specific product on their website, but whilst in general terms uPVC may be able to perform fractionally better for U-values than aluminium (it depends on the system), our experience is that with slide and swing doors the weather rating (water tightness, air permeability and wind loading) tend to be much lower. I would also query the information you were given about security. The reason I say that is I cannot find any reference to their slide & swing doors having been tested to PAS24 standards (Building Regs Doc Q) or Secured by Design award standards. The technology of slide and swing doors is developing quickly, but it is starting from nearly 25 years behind bifold doors so will take some time to catch up - that said they are moving along quickly and in certain circumstances offer an alternative to bifold doors. Good luck with your project!

Sliding, Bi-Fold or Patio doors?

I had hardwood bi-folds fitted last year and it took me ages to decide what to get. The reason I finally chose bi-folds was I use all my garden doors several times a day even in the winter and just opening the one section is easy and folds back neatly and doesn’t catch the wind as easily. There also have magnetic catches. And opening three sections is very neat and gives the biggest opening. However these openings are only two metres wide. Where I have a 2.4 opening I’ve got French windows and the 60cm doors fold back and hook onto the side windows well. Tbh bi-folds aren’t my favourite but they best suited the openings.

Excellent. Thanks for the visual. Always helps as builders are only at the foundation stage at the moment! 28m3 of concrete pumped on the site last week as our house built on higher ground so extension has to match ground level and we're adding a first level extension too. A long way to go but take each day at a time. No more projects for you then?!
