Replacement doors and windows used to only be available in grey aluminium if you didnt want wood and the styles rarely bettered the aesthetics of the buildings they adorned. Accordingly, we are left with a legacy of spoiled period homes which in some cases are a fire hazard because windows were fashioned without large enough opening sashes to escape through.

Although of poor quality initially, white PVCu designs became available and have now become of outstanding quality.

As the old-fashioned designs become outdated, house owners now have a embarrassment of window and door styles and materials to select from.

For numerous years, there has been a really large marketplace for patio doors, which offer convenience and allow light and air into a home whilst providing a very effective heat barrier when closed. The height of the patio door marketplace is the Bifold door which provides effective versatility and great aesthetics. Anyone looking to buy patio doors now should first consider whether they could increase their investment to a bifolding door.

Bifold patio doors can be organized to span a very wide opening or smaller spaces, behaving when closed as a glass wall to let in enhanced light and to allow panoramic views over the outside scene or garden. They can very easily open up an entire wall to allow seamless integration of external and internal areas, for example, for parties or for children to play safely inside and outside on a lovely day. They are also ideal for increasing space in restricted situations such as an opening onto a balcony in a small apartment.
When fully opened the doors zig-zag compact either to the left or right or split into both sides so limiting their intrusion into the room or outdoor space. If full opening is not required the doors can configured as french style doors or even as a single opening door.

Available in most of the most up to date materials, including timber, aluminium, PVCu and aluminium clad timber, this product is available in a large range of colours and finishes from specialist window companies. It is in particular attractive in aluminium clad timber where the choice of colour on the maintenance-free aluminium outside can complement your house’s outside whilst the warmth and grain of the woods can enhance any interior.
