Benefits of Aluminium Bi-Fold and Patio Doors

Natural light

The large glass panels in these doors maximise natural light entry, brightening up your home and making spaces appear larger and more open.

Built to Last

Aluminium doors are highly durable and resistant, preventing damage caused by rust, corrosion, and warping. Extruded aluminium alloy and a long-lasting powder-coated colour combine to limit the amount of maintenance they need, rewarding you with peace of mind and a reduction in long-term costs. No matter the harsh British weather you experience, our aluminium doors are virtually maintenance-free.

The Difference Between Aluminium Bi-Fold and Patio Doors

Here’s a breakdown of the key differences between aluminium Bi-Fold and Patio doors based on their structure and operational mechanics:

Design and Operation

Bi-Fold Doors: These consist of multiple panels linked by hinges, folding against each other in a concertina style. This allows them to stack neatly to one side, creating a wide opening without any obstruction. This design is ideal for maximising access between indoor and outdoor spaces, particularly where an expansive, clear opening is desired.
Patio Doors: Also known as sliding doors, these typically feature larger, fewer panels that slide over one another on tracks. When open, the panels overlap without protruding into the living space, offering a practical solution where space adjacent to the door is limited. However, because they always have at least one panel in place, they never open as fully as Bi-Fold doors.

View and Aesthetics

Bi-Fold Doors: When open, they provide an almost 100% clear opening, making them particularly appealing for homes with scenic outdoor spaces.
Patio Doors: They generally offer a less interrupted view when closed due to fewer and larger panels. This makes them an attractive option for enjoying clear views of the garden or landscape even from inside.

Space Considerations

Both door styles are space-efficient compared to traditional swing doors since neither intrudes significantly into the interior or exterior spaces when operated. Bi-Fold doors require some space alongside the opening to accommodate the stacked panels, while sliding doors need no extra space at the side but do require sufficient wall space for the panels to slide over each other.

Natural Light

Both Bi-Fold and patio doors are designed to maximise natural light. The extensive glass surfaces of both door types ensure plenty of light enters the home, enhancing the sense of space and connection to the outdoors.

Ultimately, the choice between Bi-Fold and patio doors will depend on your specific preferences for space utilisation, view from the home, and architectural style. Bi-Fold doors are best for those who want the option to completely open up an entire wall, while patio doors are ideal for those who prefer larger uninterrupted glass panels when the doors are closed.
