BIFOLD DOORS OR SLIDING DOORS - WHICH TO CHOOSE?

Great appearance and advanced performance mean inevitable demand for a modern and sophisticated door system full of benefits. Both our bifolding and sliding door systems have superb aesthetics and excellent performance. So which one should you go for?

• Bifold doors can open up about 90% of the aperture, really opening up the room to the garden. Sliding doors by comparison will typically open up between 50% and 65% of the aperture.
• For ventilation purposes, the sliding door offers the most flexible solution with the ability to open the door just as far as necessary to make the room comfortable. The bifold door’s flexibility will depend on its design, but often opening a door leaf is the minimum you can do to let some fresh air in.
• If having an uninterrupted view is important, then a sliding door may be a better option. The bigger door leafs with large panes of glass give more of a panoramic view than a bifold door that has several narrower door leafs, each with a frame around them.
• With the bifold door, you can choose to have all the door leafs stacking to the left or the right, or you can choose to split them so some stack each side. When making these decisions, it is worth remembering that the doors require some clear space around them in order to open, and you don’t want to be moving furniture or plant pots every time you open the doors.
• The number of door leafs will usually be dictated by the size of the opening, but it is worth considering the benefits of choosing a design with a single access "traffic" door. Found on designs with an odd number of door panels, the traffic door is a single door that can be opened without unlocking the rest of the door panels. Operating just like a normal back door, this is convenient for when you just want to nip out into the garden quickly.
