Maximising Natural Light and Space: Exploring the Benefits of Bifold Doors
Humans are naturally attracted to light and space, which is why homes that offer plenty of both are sought-after. Consequently, if you want to transform your home into an airy and spacious oasis, especially your living areas like your lounge or family room, then consider installing bifold doors from the Door City collection. These doors allow you to maximise the most attractive features of your home.
Distinguishing Features of Bifold Doors
When closed, bifold doors look like a series of wood-framed glass panels which may extend from the floor to close to the ceiling or up to a standard door’s height. They are usually as wide as the entire length of a wall or across a shorter distance, depending on the number of panels that are chosen or the length of the wall.
Glass and Natural Light
Because of the extensive use of glass in the bifold doors, natural light can stream into a room, especially if the door arrangement stretches from wall to wall. This greatly enhances and maximises the interior ambient brightness.
Natural Flow Between Spaces
For the same reason, either when closed or open, but especially when stacked in the open position, bifolds allow a natural flow from the interior to exterior areas and vice versa. They create an almost seamless feeling of unhindered, flowing space merging interior areas with the outdoors creating a feeling of effortless space.
Saving Space with the Bifold Stack
When installed as easily-operable, convenient and moveable in-house room dividers, there’s no better way to divide or open up interior areas. Bifold doors top the list of options. The door panels are hinged to fold up against one another in a concertina style. It forms a neat stack of panels which is out of the way at one end of the door opening making sure to save as much space as possible.
Door City’s Custom-Made Bifold Doors
Our beautifully crafted bifold doors are made from high-quality, solid timber and are custom-made to order ensuring that every set fits perfectly into its opening. Our custom approach allows us to provide you with doors of almost any size, for which we offer a variety of bifold orientations.
There are no grey areas when it comes to the installation process; they either fit and operate perfectly or they’re completely unsuitable. This is why Door City utilises various bifold system orientations to suit each opening.
- 2-door – suitable for smaller openings
- 3-door – incorporates a flapper door, as do all units that consist of an uneven number of panels. The flapper door is exceptionally useful as a single lockable door that enables you to enter or exit without needing to unbolt additional pairs of doors.
- 4-door – manufactured in even pairs or as a system with double flapper doors that function much like French doors. In total, three orientation options are on offer.
- 5-door and 6-door systems, each with various orientations are also available
- Because orientations and door counts are customisable, the possibilities are virtually unlimited.
