Just what is the huge appeal of aluminium bifolding doors in our homes today? This popular product is desirable, hugely attractive and adds value to all properties large and small.
Bifolding doors are fantastic for connecting inside and outside spaces. But they also have other uses too.
But did you know that bifolding doors whilst commonly and mainly used in a kitchen or lounge area to open up into the garden or outside space also have other uses?
Here are some other ways bifolding doors can be used not just in the typical home but in other dwellings and buildings as well:
Bifolding doors for Studios and Flats
You will often see folding interior doors or doors that slide into the wall in many modern small studios, one bedroom flats and apartments. Many of these properties will also feature Juliet or small balconies.
In these types of dwellings making the most of the available space is vital and whilst doors are important in any size home, in the smaller flats they need to take up as little space as possible.
For these properties that have any kind of outside space a bifolding door will fold and concertina to provide much needed space going through them compared to French doors or patio doors.
If you are feeling even more ambitious, a bifolding door with an ultra low threshold can even be used as a room divider. Where studio flats have no separate bedroom, bifolding doors can help.
Creatively thought out with sandblasted, satin or obscure glazing they can fold back during the daytime to give the smaller property much needed open space and closed at night to create privacy for when the space needs to be a bedroom.
Aluminium Bifolding doors in Shops, Cafes and Restaurants
Town centres have been transformed in recent years with large numbers of cafes, coffee shops and restaurants enabling people to drink and dine al fresco. Even when situated in large shopping centres, these shops create an outside dining environment for their customers.
Aluminium bifolding doors can help create a fantastic atmosphere to any restaurant, bar or café. In the summer months the bifolding doors can be folded back to open up your shop into the street. This will help create a welcoming attractive atmosphere that customers will want to visit.
Don’t forget that with the vast number of colours available on powder coated aluminium bifolding doors, you can colour match the doors exactly to your business colour scheme. Whether you like vibrant reds, sunshine yellows, blues or greens or even if your shop has a darker corporate theme, your doors can be a part of it.
Bifolding doors for creating more rooms in your home.

The imaginative use of bifolding doors in a home can create additional rooms as well as giving you wide open spaces. As a room divider to larger houses, when closed they still allow maximum light but privacy. When open they allow you to make the most of the full available space.
The use of acoustic glass can give you privacy from surrounding noise if you require it. Clever use of patterned or decorative glass can also give privacy if the room requires it, or you can use tailored blinds for bifolding doors.
Bifolding doors in Industrial Buildings.
Many industrial units often require goods or machinery to be brought in from time to time. A bifolding door with the correct threshold can offer options for opening up an entire space in a more effective way than say, a large swing commercial door.
The concertina action of the bifolding door can give you a much larger opening for moving machinery, furniture, large items of stock and much more. These items are much easier to move through a fully open space than a held open swing door.
In a similar way to room dividers, bifolding doors can be suitable if you with to have temporary private offices at some times and open up the entire office space at others.
