Folding sliding doors are hugely fashionable, and have become incredibly popular, but what are they? Here’s Apropos’ handy guide...
Folding sliding doors – also known as bi-folding doors – are immensely versatile door systems that bring a new dimension to home living. Folding sliding doors have taken the concept of the patio door and taken it to a new level. They consist of a series of door panels that fold back to open up large apertures in properties, thereby allowing greater interaction with the internal and external elements of a property. Folding sliding doors provide an unsurpassed sleek, seamless finish, and run smoothly on a recessed track.
The best folding sliding doors are of a bespoke design with an aluminium frame. Bespoke folding sliding doors are designed to fit each individual property perfectly, thereby removing any of the problems a homeowner may have if they were purchasing a standard size set of folding sliding doors. Folding sliding doors can be configured to match the exact requirements of individual homeowners – even to open around corners!
Aluminium is the most popular choice for folding sliding doors and it is easy to see why. The light aluminium framing means the folding sliding doors can be super slim and accentuate the size of the glazed area. Additionally, the aluminium frame of folding sliding doors can be powder coated in an almost infinite number of different colours.
The folding sliding doors created by Apropos have excellent thermal and energy efficient ratings, meaning homeowners will remain warm whatever the weather outside.
Prior to installation there will be a number of structural issues to consider. Steel support beams may be required to bear the weight of property walls above the folding sliding doors, and flush thresholds will require adequate drainage systems. These issues, although seemingly daunting to some homeowners, will be a matter of routine to good builders.
Nonetheless, once installed, folding sliding doors create an extraordinary environment for modern living; making the most of dining rooms, living rooms, kitchens and multi-functional home hubs.
