Sure, there is a place for small, traditionally hinged swinging doors in most houses, even hyper modern contemporary architecture. For many people however, its simply the mentality of “if its not broken, don’t fix it” coming to the fore and stopping them from enjoying the many benefits of Bifold Doors and Exterior Folding Doors in their homes. I have compiled the major benefits in this article, so read on and dive in and do away with your old doors!

A particularly good application for Bifold Doors is to link the interior of a building with the outside world, be it a garden, patio, wooden deck or courtyard. Unlike traditionally hinged doors or older sliding doors which generally only open half of the available space, bifold doors fold back to just a few centimetres, vastly improving the amount of space that can be utilised. This can really create a seamless transition from inside to out, allowing fresh air and light inside the building.

Added security is another reason to choose modern Exterior Folding Doors over older style Sliding Doors as the locks used on older doors are quite basic and easily broken creating easy access for intruders. Indeed, some insurers view them as such a bad security flaw that they may increase their premium accordingly. Most of Brio’s doors come standard with high quality Hardware for Folding Doors including sturdy locking systems and when installed by a professional provide class leading security. Brio creates high quality door hardware products and can use double or triple glazed glass for maxium energy efficiency.

The modern range of bifold doors have increased usability over old style doors as they are very easy to operate for people of all ages. Modern doors fold on needle bearings which are super smooth, near frictionless and virtually maintenance free. So what are you waiting for? Take the plunge and re invigorate your home.
