Create your dream home with seamless indoor-outdoor living…
The desire to connect our homes to their surroundings is a powerful design trend. Homeowners are increasingly seeking ways to erase the barriers between their indoor and outdoor spaces, fostering a sense of openness and embracing the outside.
One of the most effective ways to achieve this is through bi-fold doors, whether you want to open-up a home extension or the back of your property. These innovative doors concertina neatly, transforming a solid wall into a wide-open expanse, creating a seamless connection between your living area and the garden.
Benefit from a light, bright space
Bi-fold doors maximise natural light penetration, filling a home with sunshine and warmth to create a more inviting living space, while they will visually expand the space, making it feel larger and more open.
Modern bi-folding doors feature sleek lines and minimal sightlines, adding a touch of contemporary elegance to a home, and come in various styles and finishes to complement any existing property.
With the bi-fold doors open, the distinction between the home and garden blurs, encouraging indoor-outdoor living, allowing you to seamlessly transition between the two spaces for entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying the fresh air.
While effortlessly opening the bi-fold doors allows for improved, natural, ventilation to bring fresh air into your home.
The perfect link to the outdoors
The featured elegant South East property is the perfect example of how bi-fold doors can create a truly cohesive indoor-outdoor living experience.
The homeowner wanted to extend their living space and add a room onto their lounge while also creating a connection between the extension and their outside living space.
The Edwardian conservatory was perfect for adding extra space, with the sloping glass roof helping to flood the extension with natural light. But it’s the stunning set of bi-fold doors that provide the seamless transition to the beautiful garden and add a real focal point.
Their streamlined opening system, slimline frames, and ability to open up the whole wall help to creating unobstructed views of the outside, providing the homeowner with a fantastic light-filled space and the perfect link from inside to out.
The right choice
If you are considering bi-fold doors for your home or extension, then there are some key things to keep in mind.
Popular material options include uPVC and aluminium; however, aluminium is a fantastic choice as it provides bi-fold doors with slimmer sightlines and superior strength and durability.
Aluminium bi-fold doors also feature a unique polyamide thermal break to help maintain comfortable temperatures within your home throughout the year.
Bi-folding doors come in various sizes and configurations, from space-saving three panel bi-folds to an expansive eight pane bi-fold system, so make sure you choose a system that suits the dimensions of your extension or home.
A seamless extension of your living space
By incorporating bi-fold doors, you can transform your home into a seamless extension of your living space, allowing you to connect with the outdoors and enjoy the beauty of your surroundings throughout the year. And, with May now here and summer just around the corner, now is the perfect time to create your dream space.
