Bifold Doors FAQ

​Bifolding doors are a type of door that can fold back on themselves. Typically, two or more panels make up a bi-fold door, and each panel is hinged to fold back. Bifolding doors are ideal for homes and businesses that want to create an open space with natural light or conserve space with a seamless transition.​​

Bifold door systems can be installed internally or externally in your home. They are commonly used as an alternative to traditional doors, such as sliding glass doors or French doors. They usually open onto a patio or garden, creating an airy indoor/outdoor space. Such internal doors can also act as dividers between two rooms.

Bifolding doors operate via hinges attached to the panels, allowing the door to fold back on itself when opened. This creates an opening that is twice the width of the door. Bifolding doors can be opened manually or via an electric motor.

Bifolding doors are easy to operate and offer a clear view when fully opened. Concertina doors can also divide a room or create an indoor/outdoor living space.​ Learn more about the benefits of bifold doors.

Bifolding doors can be more expensive than traditional french doors, for example, they require more space to open and close, making them less suitable for smaller homes with limited space. However, our bespoke range at Bifold Door Factory ensures that you can find a solution tailored to your needs, offering value and a quality range of styles backed by a comprehensive guarantee.

The price of your bi-fold doors will depend on their size, installation, and other factors, but prices usually start around £2300 for smaller concertina doors and increase with the doors’ size. The installation will also factor into your overall cost. At Bifold Door Factory, we pride ourselves on offering the best deals possible.

The minimum and maximum dimensions of bi-fold doors depend on your chosen bifolding door model from our range of styles and other factors such as where they are placed (bifold patio doors) and the width of the sightlines.

Bifold doors using different materials will last differing amounts of time. Choosing uPVC folding doors is often a cheaper excellent choice, and they are relatively long-lasting, generally lasting around 25-35 years. However, they are unlikely to last as long as aluminium bifolding doors, which last around 45 years.

Bifold patio doors are very low-maintenance. Homeowners usually need to clean and service them annually. If you live near the sea or in a city or factory with a lot of dust or pollution, you need to clean/service your folding doors every 3-6 months. Otherwise, salt, dust, and pollution could harm bifold doors.​ Read more about the maintenance of bifold doors.

Bi-fold doors are, in fact, more secure than traditional doors since they typically use multi-point locking systems. Additionally, bifold doors usually use robust materials such as aluminium, which makes them more difficult to break through.​ Learn more about the safety of bifold doors.

Yes, many people opt for fixed doors on either side of a bi-fold door set. Contact us for a recommendation suited to your specific patio door requirements.

Adding or replacing bi-folding doors is a relatively simple home improvement and does not require planning permission. However, you may require planning permission if your bifolding door installation is part of any work that could potentially change the use of the building or significantly alter its appearance. In this case, you may need to obtain planning permission from your local authority. This includes works such as new builds and large extensions. Some development may fall under ‘permitted development rights’, meaning that you will not need to apply for planning permission. It is always best to check the specifics with your local council.

Some experts estimate that bi-folding doors can add around 5-10% to the resale value of a property. There are several reasons for this, such as their ability to open a property into the garden and create a seamless inside-outside atmosphere. Their exceptionally low U-values also help to keep the inside of a house thermally efficient, helping your property be more energy efficient and thus boosting its resale value. In addition, bi-folding doors will give your home added protection from intruders thanks to their rigid frames and the resilience of their secure locking mechanism.

A bi-fold door with a low threshold is ideal for creating flush levels between adjoining floor areas, such as between your house and a conservatory. For bifold patio doors, a standard threshold is recommended to create a weather seal and insulating triple-glazed glass.

Sightlines are the distance between two panes of glass on different doors or the combined width of two individual door frames where they meet. The smaller the sightlines, the bigger the glass area, providing better views of the outside space. Our products offer some of the best slim sightlines, allowing a more elegant and streamlined look for your external bi-folding doors.

This depends on which model of bi-fold door you choose, but generally, many different configurations of bifolding doors are available. The maximum number of panels is usually 7; the doors can open inwards or outwards, fold to the left, right, or both ways, and a traffic door can be fitted. The amount of clearance required for the doors to open varies depending on their configuration.
