Bifold doors are a popular choice among homeowners across East Anglia. Whether you live in a King's Lynn townhouse or a Hunstanton cottage with coastal views, bifolds will most likely be a suitable choice. Bifolds are available in PVCu and aluminium, with the majority of installers offering the aluminium option. Bifold doors have a unique ability to concertina, connecting your home to your garden in seconds with many options and benefits.
There are many options available when it comes to choosing your bifold doors. Supreme has put together this helpful guide to try and clear a few things up.
uPVC vs Aluminium Bifold Doors
Homeowners across Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, and Lincolnshire will need to decide on which material they would prefer first of all. You'll be able to choose from uPVC or aluminium, with some installers offering both or just one. Both will help improve security, have excellent thermal values, and weatherproofing.
uPVC is a low maintenance material and will last for many years. The multi-chambered profile is rigid and offers strength.
Aluminium is the superior option of the two, with the slim design and extra strength offering better sightlines and larger sections. This means more light, and homes across the Norfolk coast, in particular, will benefit from better coastal views. Aluminium is available in more colors and textures with a large number of RAL colors.
Bring your garden in
Your bifold doors will enable you to benefit from your garden all year-round. During the summer, they're perfect for opening in a concertina style on those family barbecue days and opening up your home. In the winter months, you'll be able to enjoy the beauty of your garden from indoors.
