From Timber to uPVC, We Recommend Several Building Materials

Once you’ve decided you want Bi-fold patio doors installed by Gary Hall Windows, you must then choose which building material best meets your creative vision and budget. Our window and door experts recommend all of the following materials, each of which comes with its unique pros and cons:

Timber – Bi-fold doors constructed of timber are gorgeous and versatile because timber is available in various colours, stains, and finishes. Modern engineered timber is more durable than other types of wood, making it a sturdier choice than in years past. However, timber will require more maintenance than other building materials because it retains moisture and may require refinishing or re-painting from time to time to keep it looking brand-new.

uPVC – One of the most cost-effective options for your new Bi-fold doors is uPVC. uPVC offers enhanced noise reduction, thermal insulation, and UV resistance. While uPVC doors require little maintenance, you may notice fading, warping, or bending over time. If you don’t mind replacing them sooner than your other options, uPVC doors make an excellent choice for many homeowners on a budget. Double glazing can improve your doors’ energy-efficiency.

Aluminium – You may be surprised to learn that aluminium is the most popular choice for Bi-fold doors. However, it’s one of the strongest building materials offering you more flexibility with the frame design. Smaller frames give you the benefit of additional window space to let in more natural light than other options. You also won’t have to worry about aluminium warping or bending, meaning there’s less maintenance involved. The only downside is the higher initial cost, but you can rest assured they’re built to last.

What Are the Benefits Offered by Bi-Fold Doors?

Aside from their unique aesthetics, Bi-fold patio doors offer numerous benefits for homeowners to consider. Because they open fully with an unobstructed view, they’re often installed in rooms leading out to a gorgeous patio, garden, or conservatory. When compared to other types of doors, they let in more natural light and fresh air, so that you can enjoy the most beautiful aspects of your property. Many homes already have French-style doors installed, so replacing them with this innovative design update is generally straightforward and affordable. Bi-fold patio doors are just as popular with owners of historic homes as they are with those who own modern homes with several extensions. Bi-fold doors also feature multi-locking mechanisms to offer more security than standard sliding patio doors.
