Replacement windows and doors used to only be available in grey aluminium if you didnt want wood and the styles rarely bettered the aesthetics of the buildings they adorned. The result of this are many esthetically ruined period homes with windows which are now a fire hazard because they openings are too small to escape through.
Although of variable quality initially, white PVCu designs became available and have now become of excellent quality.
As the old-fashioned designs become outdated, home owners now have a embarrassment of window and door styles and materials to select from.
The patio door market has been very big for many years because they offer an outstanding and convenient solution to let light and air in a house. They also provide an outstanding thermal barrier when closed. The peak of the patio door marketplace is the Bifold door which offers good versatility and great aesthetics. Anyone thinking of buying patio doors now should first consider whether they could step-up their investment to a bifolding door.
Bi fold doors can be organized to span a very wide opening or smaller spaces, behaving when closed as a glass wall to allow in increased light and to provide sweeping views over the outside scene or garden. They can very easily open up an entire wall to allow seamless consolidation of outside and internal areas, for instance, for parties or for kids to play safely inside and outside on a beautiful day. They are also perfect for increasing space in restricted situations such as an opening onto a balcony in a small apartment.
Fully opened, the doors concertina and store compactly to left, right or both sides to limit their intrusion. They can be configured to allow french style doors when full opening is not required and a single opening door for pedestrian access in the normal way.
