Keep Cool With Bifold Doors This Summer

Posted on 23rd August 2021 at 15:18

There are many benefits to getting bifold doors installed in your home, especially in the summer months. With the temperature increasing, it’s nice to enjoy spending time outdoors and with bifold doors, you can bring the outdoors in as they fold away to create an open space.

In this article we’ll be discussing the advantages of getting bifold doors this summer.

Improved Ventilation

Do you find yourself having fans in every other room during the summer months? If this is the case then it may be time for a different approach.

Bifold doors give great ventilation as you can fully open them to welcome a cool breeze on those warmer days. They are made using thermally efficient glass and frames too, so even if they’re kept closed your home will stay cool. With the heat waves we’re due to have, this is especially beneficial.

Create Open Space

As well as keeping cool for ventilation purposes, fully opening up bifold doors creates a stunning open space. They seamlessly open up any room to the outdoors, removing the barrier between your home and garden. This allows for an extended area to entertain guests and hold BBQs this summer, as everyone knows it’s the perfect season for spending time outdoors.

If you feel like you’re not getting much use of your garden, then bifold doors could be the solution you’ve been looking for.

Energy Efficient Bifold Doors

Did you know that bifold doors can actually lower your energy bill? This is not just due to allowing for improved ventilation. In addition to this, they resist thermal heat transfer.

Normally, when the temperature outside is hot, heat can be transferred indoors, but our bifold doors feature thermal break which means that they have a thermal barrier to prevent this from happening, keeping your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

Brighten Your Home

Bifold doors allow more natural light to enter your home. If your home is naturally quite dark, investing in Bifold doors can completely change this as they consist of a large surface area of glass, capturing as much sunlight as possible.

Having more light entering your home also has health benefits such as improving vitamin D exposure which promotes positive mental health, as well as healthy development.

A Stylish Addition

Aluminium bifold doors come in a great range of colours to match in with your current style, or to act as a statement piece. They aren’t limited to one colour either, as you can choose to have different colours on the inside and outside, they don’t have to be the same. You can also choose how many panels you’d like and what size would work best for your home.
