Anyone thinking of buying patio doors now should first consider whether they could increase their investment to a bifolding door.

They can open an entire wall to allow seamless integration of outside and interior areas, for example, for parties or for children to play safely inside and outside on a beautiful day.

Available in many modern materials, including wood, aluminium, PVCu and aluminium clad timber, this product is available in a wide range of colours and finishes from specialist window companies. Although pricey, aluminium clad timber, provides you the timber finish inside and the selection of colours and low maintenance options that aluminium cladding offers.
