At Fitter, we install plenty of bifold doors for your home. Bifold doors are a unique design as they fold outwards like a concertina, bringing fresh air into your property. With the sunny weather on the horizon, you might be wondering why now is the perfect time to get one installed. In this article, here are 6 reasons why you should install a bifold door this summer.
A Bifold Door is Highly Secure
When you install a bifold door in your home, you will feel confident that it is highly secure. This is because all the doors are equipped with double or triple glazing as standard, which protects your home from toughened weather conditions and robust knocks. Another reason why these doors are secure is they have multi point locking systems built into the mechanisms, ensuring a sturdy finish that keeps intruders out for longer.
And, the tracks are completely enclosed from sight, so an intruder wouldn’t be able to lift it. This ensures the door is one of the strongest on the market, keeping it sturdy for years. The doors are equipped with firm handles, making them difficult for an intruder to move them from the outside.
The Doors are Customisable and Stylish
Our doors come in both aluminium and uPVC, presenting plenty of customisation options for your property. This includes a plethora of styles and colours, giving you the choice of a bright colour or Anthracite Grey that is popular and an industrial colour.
If your home is decorated by plants, then a colour such as Chartwell Green will adda natural feel to your property. It’s entirely up to you what style to go for. Alternatively, you have the option of a natural wooden frame, however an aluminium core will be needed to strengthen it. Alternatively, if you are unsure about what colour to go for, choose from our wide selection of RAL colours.
The doors can be enhanced with advanced double or triple glazing for a sleek and professional look. This will also let in plenty of light, which is perfect in the summer months. Make your home even more stylish with a selection of glazing patterns.
Bifold Doors are Versatile
One of the biggest draws to these doors is their versatility. They include a range of glazing patterns that help you control how much light inters your property. The doors come with configuration options so you will decide which way it opens. Their compact look means they fold outwards and create a bright and airy living space.
A compact door is perfect in the summer months if you are looking to have barbecues or gatherings over the next months. With the low threshold available, this makes it easier for wheelchairs and prams to pass through the door. The doors are easy to operate, enhance your home’s size, and increase its market value.
The doors are aesthetically pleasing
If you are looking for a door that helps your home stand out this summer, then a bifold door is aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The large glass panels will give you outstanding views of your garden so you can enjoy it more. And, if you have a growing family with children, then the clear panes will keep a watchful eye over them. This results in a contemporary living space that increases the market value of your home. A bifold door doesn’t have to connect your house and garden, but it can be fitted in a living room too, adding a luxurious feel.
A Bifold Door Is Low Maintenance
When you choose a bifold door for your home, it is low maintenance and easy to clean. The only thing that needs to be done is to wipe it down with a damp cloth and soapy water. If you wipe the frames downwards, this gets rid of any stain marks. The doors will look as good as new. If you have a busy lifestyle, this door is the perfect design.
Flexible Living Space
It is becoming increasingly common for homeowners to work from home. If you have a job that requires this, a bifold door can enhance this experience. If you don’t have enough space for an office, a smaller bifold door can be installed in your living room to let natural light flood in, allowing for more focus and productivity.
