About bifold doors
How bifold doors work
Bifold doors are a row of glazed panels hinged together that fold and stack to one or both sides of the opening, running on a track at the top and the bottom. When they are open, almost the whole width of the opening is clear. Most sets include a traffic door, a single panel that opens like an ordinary door, so you do not have to fold the whole set back every time you step outside.
Bifold or sliding doors?
Bifolds clear the opening completely, while sliding patio doors give more glass and less frame when they are shut. Which suits you depends on the opening, the garden and how often the doors will be fully open, and should you choose bifold or sliding patio doors goes through it in detail.
Things to check before ordering
Leave room for the panels to stack when they are open, both inside and on the patio. Decide whether the doors should fold inwards or outwards. Ask about the threshold, since a low threshold gives level access but needs good drainage outside. Blinds can be built into the glass, as one customer had on a set we fitted.
Frequently asked questions

Bifold doors are a sought-after feature that open your home to the garden and bring in light, which many buyers love. They can make a real difference to how a kitchen or living space feels, and are a popular addition when extending or renovating.

Can You Get Blinds Inside Patio or Bifold Doors?
Yes. Integral blinds are built into the glass itself, sealed inside the double glazed unit between the two panes, and they can be specified in sliding patio doors and in bifold doors alike. You raise, lower and tilt them with a control on the face of the glass, usually a magnetic slider, or with a motor and a remote on some systems. Nothing hangs in front of the door, nothing gets in the way when it opens, and there are no cords.
Should You Choose Bifold or Sliding Patio Doors?
If your priority is opening the whole aperture and physically joining the room to the garden, choose bifolds. If your priority is the largest possible expanse of glass with the least frame interrupting it when the doors are shut, choose a slider. That is the decision in a sentence, and most of what follows is about the situations where it is not quite that simple.
Do Bifold Doors Add Value to a Property?
Many homeowners ask whether Bifold Doors Add Value to a property or if they are simply a lifestyle upgrade. The reality is that bifold doors can do both. They can improve how a home looks and functions day to day, while also making it more appealing to future buyers.
