Recent data shows a slight downturn in the property market. This cooling effect is resulting in a slower rate of sales, and some owners are starting to see difficulties finding a legitimate buyer. If your home is on the market, and you just can’t seem to sell, an extension could be just the thing to give you that extra space you need.
When planning an extension, it’s critical to understand how the new space will be used, and how the addition of another room will change the family’s habits. The extension can also be a great way to improve access to the outdoors – and that’s where our bifold doors come in.
What’s In a Bifold?
Bifolding doors are doors that can open fully, essentially removing a wall in seconds. We can fit bifold doors in place of existing patio doors, but we can also work bifolds into the plans for your new extension.
Depending on the size of the extension, you might want the doors to stack outside so you have room to place furniture close to the opening. Alternatively, have the doors stack inside the house so they don’t interfere with your patio access outside.
Bifolding doors can be split anywhere in the fold, giving you the flexibility of a single traffic door, an even split in the centre, or a split at either end. Once you start to investigate the options, you’ll be amazed at how useful a good quality bifold can be.
Why Choose Bifolds?
Many homeowners already have a traffic door at the back of the house; some will have French windows. So why choose a bifold for your new extension, rather than sticking with the tried and tested solutions?
Bifolds are fast becoming a desirable addition to the home thanks to their versatility, affordability and design options. You can opt for neutral colours or bright tones, tailor the type of glass – even add integrated blinds and a remote control. Bifolds instantly give an extension a more modern feel, and they let your family move in and out of the garden more freely.
Our bifolds have been installed in kitchens, games rooms, swimming pools and saunas. We can build in ramps for easy access, and the hardware on the doors – such as the handles – can be customised to suit your décor. Just like our windows and doors, our bifolds are designed to be affordable; give us a try, and you might be surprised just how little they cost.
More Home Upgrades
Consider a set of bifold doors alongside your other home improvements. Whether you’re staying put or planning to sell, bifolds – and a new composite door – can completely transform the way your brand new extension is used.
