FAQs:

Are bifolding doors nice in a home?

Bifold doors look great and can seamlessly fit in with any type of décor. When fully opened, they can create a seamless transition between rooms, allowing for an open-plan feel. Conversely, when closed, they effectively separate areas, providing privacy and noise reduction. Bifold glass doors with glass panels allow natural light to flow between rooms, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. They also facilitate ventilation, especially when opened partially, helping to improve air circulation throughout the space.

What are the benefits of bifolding doors?

One of the main points of appeal is that bifold doors fold in on themselves rather than swinging open, making them an excellent choice for areas with limited space. They're particularly useful in small bathrooms or box bedrooms where traditional full internal doors would take up valuable floor space. They are super easy to install too as you don’t need advance joinery skills to hang them. As long as you have your drill and screwdriver to mount the track to the door frame, the only thing left to do is hang the door from the track. Once properly installed, they require minimal upkeep, with occasional cleaning and lubrication of the track system being sufficient to keep them in good working condition. Our range of bifold doors features a range of various materials, finishes, and styles to complement different interior designs. Whether you prefer a modern, minimalist look or a more traditional aesthetic, there's a bifold door option to suit your taste.

How do internal bifolding doors work?

Bifold doors are comprised of two or more panels connected by door hinges. These hinges allow the panels to fold together accordion-style when closing and to unfold when opening. They are installed on a track system. This track is mounted to the top or bottom of the door frame. The panels of the door have rollers or wheels attached to them which then attach to the track, allowing the panels to slide smoothly along it. There is a handle or knob on one or more panels. These handles are used to pull the doors open or push them closed. Some bifold doors utilise magnetic catches or latches to ensure that the panels stay in place when the door is closed. When opening a bifold door, you typically pull on the handles or knobs, causing the panels to slide along the track and fold against each other. When closing the door, you push the panels together until they are fully extended and aligned, then use the handles or knobs to pull them into the closed position.
