Bifold Doors vs Sliding Doors: Which One is Right for You?

At Abbey, we sell plenty of aluminium bifold doors and sliding doors for your property. You might be wondering what the benefits are for both these doors and how they will help you. In this article, we will compare and contrast both doors, which will help you make an informed decision. Read on to find out more.

One thing that you could consider when you choose us for your aluminium sliding door is that you will get a whopping 10 year guarantee. This ensures that if the door experiences extensive and prolonged use over time or if you suffer from a break in, we have you covered. We want your doors to last you for plenty of years, and we believe this guarantee will sort you out.

At Abbey, we are believers in creative expression, and as a result, we believe you should have free rein in customising your door. That’s why we offer a bespoke service which you will benefit from when you choose from all kinds of styles and colours. Furthermore, you will benefit from a huge choice of 150 RAL colours, so you will get the perfect look for your property. At Abbey, our colour and stylistic choices are available for modern and traditional styles, so there is something out there for you. If you have a RAL coloured window, match it with your door to create a seamless look.

When you choose an aluminium sliding door, we want to give you the highest quality option, which is why we work with Aluk and Origin. These market leading profiles will ensure you will get sturdy and durable security thanks to the advanced double glazing. It handles robust knocks and violent winds, while you have the option of boosting security with five or six high security multipoint locking systems and locks and corners which can’t be forced open. The doors are PAS24 Accredited, ensuring you will get the highest quality security in your home. Intruders will find it impossible to break into your property with our sliding doors.

While sliding doors glide open and closed, one key difference between that and a bifold door is that the bifold door folds out like a concertina. This allows the homeowner to get a seamless connection between their house and their garden. Coupled with incredibly slim sightlines, you will get clear, unobstructed views of your garden, allowing you to enjoy your property much more.

These doors will give you unbeatable standards of thermal efficiency and durability, which means they will stay strong during tough conditions. This is because the aluminium that is used is one of the strongest available. What’s more, the sliding doors are also supplied by Origin, coming with finger safe technology. If you have little ones, their fingers won’t get trapped easily. What’s more, the doors will come with specially designed thresholds that are suitable for wheelchairs and prams, so everyone can be included.

Because the bifold door will fold outwards, it gives you outstanding thermal efficiency levels. For instance, in the hot summer months, you will get plenty of fresh air coming in. This will save money on air conditioning . However, in the winter months, the double glazing  retains natural heat inside your home. With energy bills increasing, this is an excellent selling point.

Furthermore, if you choose an Origin bifold door, we offer internal blinds that compliment your door, adding some personality to it. This is ideal for privacy, so intruders won’t be able to enter your home. As a result, you will be kept safe in the long run.

The sliding door will give you plenty of configuration options as well. We work together with you to create a door that matches your personality.

Ultimately, the decision is yours whether you go for a bifold door or a sliding door. Both options are created with a durable aluminium profile which protects you against the worst weather conditions and gives off a sleek aesthetic.
