Creator and installer of custom built bifold doors in Perth reveals bifold doors are so popular among Perth homeowners.
Perth, WA, 06 March 2017 - According to a leading builder of custom doors and windows in Perth, bifold doors are becoming the most popular door installation for those who want to modernise their homes. Bifold doors are popular for a number of reasons. Their popularity has made them an essential part of modern home design.

Advantages of Bifold Doors

Bifold doors provide a number of advantages over other types of doors, especially for those who want their homes to be more than just living space. One of the biggest advantages is that they let a lot of light into a home. Sunlight makes a home more cheerful and more modern-looking. That is why so many contemporary designs are built around bifold doors, both inside and out.

On the inside bifold doors allow for numerous design options. They are most commonly used in open floor design. When the walls between common areas such as the kitchen, dining room, family room and living room are knocked down, it turns them into one large open area. Bifold doors can be used to separate the rooms when necessary. When they are opened, though, they sit to the sides, allowing all of the space in a home to be used to its maximum benefit.

Bifold doors allow for the widest openings of any door configuration. They are made of from two to any number of sliding panels. The panels fold against each other and are stored at one or both sides of the opening. There are many designs that feature an entire wall of bifold doors, allowing for an opening nearly the entire length of the wall wide.

Bifold doors on an exterior wall are the most effective doors for integrating the outdoors into a home and the home into an alfresco living area. Because they can open so wide and allow such unencumbered views, they essentially turn the alfresco living area into part of the home’s living space.

Standard doors that open toward the inside require clearance space. Bifold doors don’t require any clearance space because they sit neatly at the side. Not only do bifold doors provide more space, but the light they let in and the views they provide give the illusion of even more space. For those who believe perception is reality, this is a plus.
