Why have bi-fold doors become popular? 

Bi-fold doors have become so popular thanks to their sleek and contemporary design, that instantly adds a ‘wow factor’ to your home. But more than just appearances, they’re fantastic for creating a seamless connection between your indoor and outdoor spaces. Whilst they tend to be popular for replacing traditional patio doors, they can also be used with the interior of your home making them very versatile. 

Creating large open spaces 

Hosting friends or family becomes a whole new experience with bi-fold doors! You can open up your living area wide, extending your space to the outdoors. Whether it’s a good old fashioned family BBQ or a cosy evening gathering, bi-fold doors create a welcoming environment where everyone can feel connected. 

Make the most of your views 

Bi-fold doors are known for their ability to span large openings effortlessly. The wider the opening, the more impressive it looks. This feature is perfect if you have a stunning view you want to enjoy more of or if you simply want to flood your home with natural light throughout the day. Plus, it’ll be sure to enhance your home’s kerb appeal too – double win!

Now, you might worry that such large doors compromise security, but bi-fold doors are still designed with safety in mind. They come with strong locks and toughened glass options which as its name suggests is more durable than regular glass. This is not only great for security, but also perfect if you have children and pets rushing around.
