Doors are an important component in an overall design scheme. However they are functional elements too and when it comes to choosing a door, its function is just as important as its style. .
Key door characteristics like size, thermal properties, susceptibility to warping, security, opening direction and transparency are some of the main issues to consider.
In the past this often meant you had to make do with an ugly or unsuitable looking door. Luckily for us this is not the case anymore.
Novel design and advances in materials mean we don’t have to make any concessions and, thanks to the internet, we can find specialist suppliers, compare prices and order without having to endure a hard sell from a face-to-face salesperson.
The Folding Sliding Door Revolution
Softwood or flimsy PVCu was prone to bending, warping and could be insecure. Due to the nature and role of a door, these factors are understandably off-putting.
Now, high performance plastic and aluminium composite doors are affordable, secure and durable. These doors can transform a home and vastly increase the usability and size of the available living space. Bifold doors look stunning, but they also help add plenty of extra light into a home and make the space far more versatile, enabling the inside and outside to meld harmoniously when required.
Of course they look fantastic in modern homes and apartments but they work exceptionally well in traditional homes as well.

Great inspiration for modern contemporary home using bi folding doors.
Hi there,
We find that solid oak doors are a really popular choice when it comes to our customers.
It’s probably because they can add to a minimalist look or even create a timeless feel.
There obvious quality and versatility, for me, is what makes these doors stand out from the crowd.
