Bifold doors are continuing to grow in popularity with homeowners wanting to improve their homes. By saving space, bringing in light and being versatile in design, these external doors are changing how we use our living spaces.
At Dream Installations, we’ve installed countless bifold doors in homes across Lowestoft, Great Yarmouth, and beyond. From traditional homes to new builds, we’ve seen firsthand how they can make a real difference.
What is a Bifold Door?
Bifold doors are sets of door panels that fold together. They slide along a track and stack neatly to one side. Unlike regular patio doors, bifold doors can open entire walls. This design allows you to create a wide opening to your garden or patio, giving you easy access to outdoor spaces.
The Benefits of Bifold Doors
Saving Space
One of the best things about exterior bifold doors is how much space they save. Bifold doors stack neatly on one side of the door opening, making them a great alternative to swing doors that need to open outwards or even sliding doors that block part of the opening. This means you can use more of your floor space, improve accessibility and reduce tripping hazards.
Bringing the Outdoors In
Bifold doors are great for connecting your indoor and outdoor spaces. With large glass panels that can span the width of a room, these doors offer uninterrupted views of your garden or patio. When fully opened, they create a fluid transition between spaces, perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying a fresh breeze on a sunny day.
Letting in Light
Natural light can transform the feel of a room, making it appear larger, brighter, and more inviting. Even when they’re closed, due to our slim aluminium door frames, bifold doors let in a lot of light. This can make a big difference, especially in smaller homes or rooms that don’t get much natural light.
Further, this can reduce your use of artificial light, lowering your carbon footprint and your energy bills.
Energy Efficiency
Modern bifold doors are designed with thermal efficiency in mind. Our aluminium bifold doors at Dream Installations boast impressive U-values as low as 1.5 W/m²K, meaning they’re excellent at preventing heat loss. This ‘A’ rated energy efficiency helps keep your home warm in winter potentially leading to significant savings on your heating costs.
Modern Style
Bifold doors aren’t just functional; they’re also a design statement. Available in a range of styles, colours, and configurations, they can be tailored to complement any home aesthetic. Whether you’re going for a sleek, modern look or something more traditional, there’s a bifold door design to match your vision.
Aluminium Bifold Doors from Dream Installations
At Dream Installations, we’re proud of our aluminium bifold doors. Here’s why we think they’re a cut above:
Built to Last
We use the highest quality aluminium for our door frames. Aluminium is lightweight and incredibly strong. This allows for slimmer frames and larger glass panels resulting in more light and better views. Aluminium is resistant to rusting and warping and is fully recyclable.
Customisable
We know every home is different, so we offer lots of ways to customise your bifold doors:
– Colours: We’ve got popular colours like Anthracite Grey, Black, and White. Or you can select a custom RAL colour, essentially giving you unlimited options.
– Selection of styles: With options ranging from two to seven panels, no matter what number of panels you need, we can create a bifold door system that fits your space perfectly.
– Glass: We offer double glazing as standard with all our bi fold doors, but you can opt for triple glazing for even better thermal efficiency.
– Extras and accessories: We’ve got several different handles and locks to choose from. A popular option is to have integral blinds added between the glass of your bifold doors, giving you greater control of light and privacy.
Security
We take security seriously. All our bifold doors come with multi-point locks as standard. This means they lock in several places along the frame, making them extra tough to break into.
Expert Fitting
An external bifold door is only as good as its installation. Our team of experienced professionals ensures that every door is fitted to the highest standards, guaranteeing optimal performance and longevity.
10-Year Guarantee
We stand behind the superior quality of our products. That’s why all our bifold doors come with a comprehensive 10-year guarantee, giving you confidence in your investment.
