Alongside patio doors and French doors, aluminium bifold doors have become increasingly popular in recent years domestically thanks to their ability to seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor spaces and provide uninterrupted views of the outside thanks to large glazing areas and slim sightlines. The same reasons are also why aluminium bifold doors are also hugely popular for commercial projects too. Installers need the best bifold door solutions to make sure that they are offering the right products to win business. In this blog post, we’ll discuss the best bifold door solutions for your project.
Domestic bifold door bliss
Aluminium bifold doors offer homeowners a stylish and practical solution that maximises natural light and provides easy access to gardens or patios. When it comes to domestic projects, there are several factors that homeowners will consider when choosing the best bifold door solution for their home. The number of panes will determine how wide each individual panel will be when fully opened and how much space they take up when open. Homeowners who prioritise unobstructed views will want minimal sightlines while others might prefer wider frames for added security or insulation benefits.
Commercial bifold door consideration
For commercial projects such as restaurants or shopfronts where aesthetics and size play crucial roles, aluminium bifold doors are the perfect solution. Aluminium bifold doors have been designed to withstand heavy use in commercial environments and are strong, durable, secure and have a long lifespan, making them perfect for commercial buildings. Bifold doors also allow the whole wall to be open, which is attractive for commercial projects that require large openings, flexibility and space.
