Top 5 benefits of bi-folding doors

An increasingly popular option in modern homes, bi-folding doors are the ideal option for those wanting to add a bit of something different to their space.

Folding right back against themselves, bi-fold doors are perfect for patios, wardrobes, dining rooms and everywhere else in between – and are guaranteed to bring the wow factor to any space.

But, what is it that makes them so appealing to so many people?

Read on as our experts discuss the main benefits of bi-folding door systems in this article.

  

• Increased natural light

Like sliding doors, bi-folds provide an excellent opportunity for homeowners to maximise the natural light flooding into their space, compared to traditional hinged doors, which may not open as wide and restrict light flow.

Whether open or closed, natural sunlight will flow effortlessly through the room and can transform dark, cold and uninviting rooms into areas into much brighter, warmer and more welcoming spaces.

For clients opening up their kitchen or dining area into the back garden, for example, bi-fold doors will help make the transition from indoors to out seamless. And one of our Tommafold bi-folding door kits will help you complete the perfect, high-quality installation.

 

• Maximise available space

For many homes, particularly those on the smaller side, bi-folding doors are an excellent space-saving alternative to traditional hinged doors and even sliding doors.

Collapsing back on themselves, as opposed to swinging outwards or needing an additional door to slide behind, bi-folding doors take up much less space, allowing your clients to make the most of their precious square footage.

Bi-folds can be used almost anywhere in a property, so whether your client needs a space-saving wardrobe door or is looking for an option to close off a particularly messy storage cupboard, a bi-folding door will fit right in.

With a range of internal bi-folding door kits suitable for use with cabinet and wardrobe doors, such as the DuraFold Folding Cabinet and Wardrobe System, you can create a durable and dependable solution for your clients.

 

• Greater energy efficiency

Unlike other sliding door systems, bi-folding doors are incredibly energy efficient and are designed specifically with energy efficiency in mind.

Many bi-folding doors are made with double or triple-glazed glass, which – along with professional installation and high-quality bi-fold door tracks – helps homes retain heat for longer which, in turn, reduces energy bills and saves money. 

The Tommofold bi-folding door system in particular does an excellent job of keeping drafts at bay during the colder months.

 

• Enhanced security

Compared to other types of doors, which feature a singular locking point, bi-folding doors feature a locking system which is spread across multiple points along the sliding track.

This is a great option for those who are looking for something stylish and modern but aren’t willing to sacrifice the security of their home.

All our external bi-folding door kits at Quest feature ultra-reliable multi-point locking systems that ensure bi-folds stay put in their frame for decades to come.

 

• Boost property value

Last, but certainly not least, bi-folding doors offer an excellent opportunity for homeowners looking to put their property on the market to boost its value.

Some experts estimate that installing bi-folding doors can add around 5-10% to the sale value of a home – making it a desirable, cost-effective option that offers excellent return on investment potential.
