As installers, we know that modern homeowners want stylish, functional solutions that connect indoor and outdoor spaces effortlessly. Bi-fold doors have become a must-have feature in contemporary home design, offering a seamless transition between living areas while improving light flow and maximising space.
The bi-fold revolution
Today’s bifold doors range is a game-changer, providing trade professionals with an ideal solution for clients looking to open up their homes. Unlike traditional internal doors or patio doors, concertina doors fold neatly away, creating larger openings that invite fresh air into the home while maintaining energy efficiency and security.
Why homeowners love bi-fold doors
Bi-fold doors are a practical and stylish alternative to traditional internal folding doors and interior doors, allowing homeowners to reimagine their living spaces. Whether installed as internal bifold door sets for open plan living or as external doors to expand entertaining areas, they offer flexibility and aesthetic appeal.

How do bi-fold doors improve natural light and space?
One of the key benefits of a bi-fold door is its ability to maximise natural light in any space. Thanks to their large glass panels, these doors allow sunlight to flood into a home, creating a bright and airy atmosphere.
Whether used as external doors leading to a garden or as internal folding doors to separate rooms, bi-folds enhance the feeling of openness.
Different door styles offer varying levels of visibility and access. For example, some designs feature slim frames to optimise the glass area, while others have wider panels for a more robust aesthetic. The bottom track plays a crucial role in ensuring smooth operation, making it easy to fold and slide the doors effortlessly.
By incorporating bi-fold doors into a design, homeowners can enjoy uninterrupted views and seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces, making them an ideal choice for modern living.
Installation considerations
Early installation matters
Proper early installation planning helps avoid issues later. Ensuring the base track is level and the head track is aligned will guarantee smooth operation over time.
Interior folding doors for open plan living
For those looking to create open plan spaces, internal bifold doors are a smart choice. They allow flexible room layouts, particularly for dining room areas, home offices, or dividing large living spaces without compromising on space.
Maximising market opportunities for installers
With the increasing demand for bifold internal doors, there are more opportunities than ever for trade professionals. Homeowners love the flexibility of interior bifold doors, whether for stylish dining room spaces or innovative room dividers.
Best practices for a smooth installation
- Measure twice – Precision is key when fitting new bifold doors. Even slight misalignments can affect performance.
- Use quality components – From door furniture to door panels, choosing high-quality materials ensures durability.
- Educate homeowners – Inform clients about maintenance for their bifold door sets to prolong performance and appearance.
