Bifold doors are also known as bi-folding doors, folding sliding doors, glass sliding doors and sliding room dividers. In its simplest term, a bifold is a door that slides open while its panels fold up and stack neatly against the wall – like a concertina.

Bifold doors often connect rooms to an outdoor area, such as an entrance to a garden or conservatory, but they can be used for a variety of purposes. Typically, a bifold can have anything between two to seven panels that are connected with hinges and attached to rollers at the top or bottom. This is one of their great attractions – they offer spectacular views to outside. Aluminium frames support large glass panes and offer slim sightlines for an unimpeded view, compared to traditional patio doors.

Benefits of Bi-fold doors include:

• Illusion of extra space and ingress of natural light
• Opening room up to outside
• Impressive functionality and security
• Slim and good looking
• Energy efficient and eco friendly
• Large range of colours
• Add value to a property
