Local builder reveals how custom internal doors can help modernise a home for less money than one might expect.
Perth, WA, 30 July 2016 - When it comes to modernising a home for a reasonable price, custom internal doors are gaining a lot of traction in the Perth area. Tish Thompson is the Office Administrator for Fremantle Door & Window Company. They provide custom internal doors and a wide range of custom external doors and windows for homes in the Perth area. According to Ms Thompson:

“We are finding that more and more Perth homeowners are opting to modernise their homes by knocking out the walls between common rooms and working with an open floor plan. They have us install bifold doors to segregate rooms from each other while allowing for the option of a full open space.”

Bifold doors have two or more panels that fold against each other to the side when they are opened. When the panels are laid side by side, it takes up almost no room. This allows for almost the entire width of the doorway to be fully unobstructed.

At Fremantle Door & Window Company, bifold doors are built with a special, thick glass and a solid, exterior grade timber frame. When the doors are used to divide spaces on an open floor plan into “rooms” for privacy or less noise, the glass lets light flow throughout the entire home, lending a modern “look” and making the entire home cheerful.

Open Floor Plan and Bifold Doors: What Rooms Are Open?

Usually, in an open floor plan, common rooms are included, such as the kitchen, dining area, living room, family room and any hobby rooms or nooks. Bedrooms and bathrooms are left private. Laundry rooms can be off to the side as separate rooms or they can be part of the open plan.

Many homeowners like to combine an open floor plan with an alfresco living area. This creates one large entertainment area when necessary and increases living space. A bifold door is also used for the entry to the alfresco area. Bifold doors are the most effective doors for integrating two rooms or for integrating an alfresco area with the inside of the home.

Finishing with Custom External Doors and Windows

Ms Thompson talks to every customer and solicits extensive feedback to ensure satisfaction. According to Ms Thompson:

“Most people are so happy with the results that they decide to continue and have us install custom external doors and windows. The idea is the same: modern windows and doors modernise a home a lot more effectively for a lot less money and a lot less hassle than a structural renovation. We usually don’t have to make any changes to structural elements of the home. This means less cost, less permits and less hassle.”

Ms Thompson concludes: “Custom doors and windows are the fastest, most efficient and most cost-efficient way to modernise a home.”

Fremantle Door & Window provides custom internal doors, custom external doors, bifold doors, sliding doors, servery windows and a wide range of custom options for homeowners in the Perth area. They custom build each door and window out of solid, external grade timber and specially-manufactured glass produced in WA.
