Significance of Bi-fold Doors and Sliding Doors
The introduction of Bi-fold and sliding doors has redefined the world of architecture and interior design. Whether you opt for a bi-fold mechanism or a sliding one, there are tremendous advantages both of them offer.
- Natural Light Often times, installing a glazed bi-fold/ sliding door can maximise the light coming indoors, making the indoors brighter and well-lit. This reduces the dependency on LEDs and pendant lights as a source of light
- Enhanced Aesthetics Bi-fold doors and sliding doors are available in different colours and sizes and have become non-negotiable in home extensions and renovations and provide a modern and sleek design.
- Seamless indoor-outdoor relationship Bi-fold doors and sliding doors allow you to seamlessly expand your living spaces into patio and outdoor spaces offering flexibility and enhanced space utilisation.
- Increased property value Installation of bi-fold doors and sliding doors substantially increases the resale value of your property as it is an advanced mechanism.
- Secure locking system Most bi-fold and sliding doors come equipped with a standard multi-point locking system, which secures the doors at various points around the frame and track. The bi-fold door works on a mechanism where two or more panels are hinged together to fold in and out while slid open or shut, maximising your space at home. There are 2 main types of bi-fold doors:
- Bi-fold internal doors Also known as fold back doors, these types are used extensively inside the house with limited space, where the door panels fold back to the door frame
- Bi-fold external doors The bi-fold door external type is used to extend your indoors to the outdoors bringing in natural light and making your home look spacious. Here the doors slide on a track and fold either way for your convenience.
