How bifold doors will improve your home, and why?

Posted on 29th July 2022 at 12:42

If you’ve been thinking about upgrading to bifold doors in your home, you’re not alone. The demand for bifold doors has risen and the interest in them has continued to grow, especially during Spring and Summer.

Whether you’re looking to improve your home or want more natural light in your home, we’re here to help you decide whether bifold doors are for you, and how they will benefit your home.

Bifold doors allow more natural light into your home

There’s nothing better than sitting in a bright room in the morning with your morning brew. Natural light has many benefits when it comes to not only your house but also us. Some of these include:

• Improved sleep

• Increase in Vitamin D

• Improves productivity and focus

• Can fight off SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder)

But not all houses are built equal. Because we can’t control where the sun will hit, this can affect how much natural light your home will have. Installing bifold doors won’t change the position of the sun but are a fantastic solution for allowing more natural light and giving you a great view of the garden.

Bifold doors will give your home that WOW factor

Due to their simplistic design and clean aesthetic, they have become a must-have for many homes in the UK. Bifold doors can completely transform a room and give you a clear view of the outside. Because they are fully open and flush against the wall, they will look neater and more elegant when in use. As well, opening your room up completely will give the room an illusion of being more spacious and looking larger.

They are long-lasting and durable

When selecting your bifold doors, we recommend choosing aluminium as they are far more durable and long-lasting. Choosing a stronger material will be more cost-effective over time because they are made to withstand all weather. In summer especially, the aluminium won’t expand and contract when exposed to the sun’s heat, meaning you can avoid a range of issues in the future.

All our bifold doors come with a 10-year manufactures guarantee.

Increase the value of your home with bifold doors

There’s no way of telling the exact amount it will increase the value, but some experts say it can increase the resale price by 5-10%. With high-quality bifold doors, you will add value to your home and open-plan living is always desirable. Whether you’re planning to sell or simply want to upgrade your home, bifold doors are a great investment.

As well as increasing the value of your property, bifold doors are more energy efficient due to their low u-values and internal glazing. Opting for a more energy-efficient door will save you money in the future, especially during the colder months.

They are flexible in design

Bifold doors are extremely flexible in design, meaning you will be provided with a range of options. Whether you want to full open your home, or only part open your doors, you can achieve this with bifold doors. You can also choose from a wide range of RAL colours, allowing us to create the perfect bifold doors for your home.

With our flexible designs, we can create solutions with a single traffic door. As a result, the entire set can be opened and closed without needing to be locked and folded back. We also offer bifold doors that open either inwards or outwards and you can either stack all the doors against the same wall or split the doors to each side.
