Should I Choose A Sliding or Bi-Fold Door
The choice between a sliding or bi-folding door can be tricky as both provide extensive (and similar benefits for the home). Below are a few of the key considerations to make
- Ease Of Access: Simplicity and ease of access to the property might be one key consideration you make. While sliding doors open only partially, Bifold doors allow for much wider openings by folding fully.
- Energy Efficiency: If your key drive is to stop the loss of heat from your home in the winter and the loss of cool air in the summer then sliding doors might be the better option. Sliding doors typically have less framing and larger glass panels, leading to better thermal performance.
- Visual Appeal: Consider the overall design style of your space, as both bi-fold and sliding door types can have distinct looks depending on the frame material and finish.
- Glass Panel Size: If you’re looking to maximise the natural light in your property then you might prefer to stick with sliding doors as they typically have less framing and larger glass panels.
