Replacement doors and windows used to only be available in grey aluminium if you didnt want wood and the styles rarely bettered the aesthetics of the buildings they adorned. Accordingly, we are left with a legacy of ruined period homes which in some cases are a fire hazard because windows were fashioned without large enough opening sashes to escape through.

Then they became available in white PVC which were at first cheap and of low quality and poor design but which went on to become the excellent quality they are today and designed to suit the house not the pocket.

As the old-fashioned designs become outdated, house owners now have a embarrassment of window and door styles and materials to select from.

For many years, there has been a very big market for patio doors, which provide convenience and allow light and air into a home whilst providing a extremely effective heat barrier when shut. The height of the patio door market are Bifold patio doors which provides good versatility and great aesthetics. Anyone looking to buy patio doors now should first be considering whether they could increase their investment to a bifolding door.

Bifold doors can be arranged to span a very wide aperture or smaller spaces, behaving when closed as a glass wall to let in enhanced light and to provide sweeping views over the outside vista or garden. They can open an entire wall to allow seamless integration of external and interior areas, e.g., for parties or for kids to play safely inside and outside on a gorgeous day. Alternatively, they can serve to extend available space in limited areas, such as permitting inclusion of a balcony to form part of a small apartment on a clement day or lightening up an otherwise gloomy nook.

When fully opened the doors zig-zag compact either to the left or right or split into both sides therefore limiting their encroachment into the room or outdoor space. If full opening is not required the doors can configured as french style doors or even as a single opening door.

Specialist Bifold Door companies offer the doors in hardwood, PVCu, aluminium and aluminium clad timber in a wide range of finishes and colours. Although expensive, aluminium clad timber, gives you the quality finish inside and the selection of colours and low maintenance options that aluminium cladding offers.
