Bifold Doors- What Are the Options & Benefits?

Bifold Doors- What Are the Options & Benefits?

For many homeowners across Lincoln and Nottinghamshire, Bifold Doors are quickly becoming the back door of choice. Many installers offer one type of variety, installing uPVC and/or aluminium varieties. Unlike other door designs, the bifold door opens in a concertina style, connecting your home to your garden in seconds. When closed, you can enjoy a whole wall of glass.

With so many options available, it can be hard to know what to look out for when choosing a bifold door. That’s why the Starglaze team has created this helpful advice article on What are the Options and Benefits with bifold doors.


Internal Bifold Doors Lincoln


uPVC V Aluminium

The first customisable option the Lincoln homeowner faces with bifold doors is the actual material. Most installers offer uPVC and/or aluminium profiles, each of which offers different features and benefits. The modern materials used can help improve the security, weatherproofing and heat retention capabilities of your property.

uPVC as a material is low maintenance and will continue to maintain its quality for many years to come. The multi-chambered profile offers rigidity and strength, and when combined with the latest locks, will protect your Lincoln home.

Aluminium is a superior option, able to offer up to 40-years of quality use if maintained correctly. The slim design allows this door to have large panes of glazing. This will flood your Lincolnshire home with light. Aluminium can come with more colour options, with a large number of RAL colours available.

Bringing Outdoor Life, Indoors

Investing in bifold doors allows the Lincolnshire homeowner to make the most of their garden year-round. In the summer months, these doors can be opened quickly in a concertina style, bringing outdoor life inside. In the winter, the large panes of glazing allow you to make full use of your garden year-round, enjoying the beauty from the comfort of indoors. You’ll be able to flood your home with light, creating the illusion of more space.

21st-Century Protection

Both uPVC and aluminium bifold doors offer a great deal of protection. The multi-chambered uPVC and strength of aluminium work alongside the panes of glazing and locks. Multi-point locking is fitted as standard across the panes, removing any potential weak spots that could be exploited by would-be intruders. You can have full peace of mind that nobody will be able to gain easy access to your Lincoln home through your back door.

Warmer Home

The multi-chambered uPVC profile and thermally broken aluminium designs will keep your Lincoln home warm year-round. Both work alongside the panes of triple or double glazing to trap in pockets of warm air. This means even in the coldest winter months, you’ll enjoy natural warmth.

Bifold doors will help you rely less upon your central heating. As these doors retain heat, you’ll start to lower your energy bills. This will lead to your home’s carbon footprint to reduce.
