With a glorious spring on our doorstep, nothing beats the pleasure of connecting your indoor living spaces to the vibrant outdoors. From barbecues with friends to lazy Bank Holiday afternoons in the garden, bifold doors help you combine outdoor fresh air with indoor comfort all summer long. Read on to find out why.
Blurring The Lines Between Indoor And Outdoor Spaces
Bifold doors are designed to open up an entire wall, creating a seamless transition between your home and garden or patio. Unlike sliding or hinge-opening French doors, bifold doors have a folding mechanism that allows each panel, or leaf, to concertina neatly across to one side, giving you unrestricted access to your garden. As soon you open the doors, you invite the outdoors in, making the transition between home and garden smoother and more natural. This is a boon during the British spring and summer, when it might be nice outside but not quite warm enough to sit out. Investing in bifold doors means you can relax in your living room while appreciating the warmth, birdsong, and breezes coming in from outside – without feeling any residual chill.
Bringing More Natural Light Into Your Home
Natural light has the potential to energise and uplift every living space in your home. Bifold doors are one of the easiest ways to maximise natural light; with their extensive glass panels and minimal frames, they allow you to flood your home with daylight. Even when closed, bifold doors give you a clear and unobstructed view of your garden so you can enjoy the beauty of the sky and your surroundings all year round.
Ventilate Your Home With Fresh Summer Breezes
British homes are designed to keep heat in, which means they often get stuffy and uncomfortably hot during the summer. Bifold doors are the perfect way to let the stuffy indoor air out and replace it with fresh summer breezes drawn from the outside. When fully open, bifold doors allow a continual circulation of air throughout your home, helping keep you cool and comfortable without having to fall back on plug-in fans. On windier summer days, you can partially fold the doors to control airflow, giving you more flexibility while still taking advantage of fresh air.
Flexibility For Any Home
One of the great beauties of bifold doors is the way that they can be configured to fit the layout and needs of any home. Whether you are looking for a transition to the garden from the home office, or a stylish way to connect a living room to your decking, bifold doors make beautiful use of your space, keeping your house cosy while giving you the option of uniting it seamlessly with your garden when it suits you. And with double or triple glazed options available, insulated frames, and low emissivity coatings, bifold doors will also contribute to the energy efficiency of your home.
