Bi-fold doors allow you to effortlessly blend your indoor and outdoor spaces to create a seamless flow that enhances both the functionality and the aesthetic of your property.
The developments in modern interior designs and property extensions have seen bi-fold doors become an increasingly popular and practical solution. They allow you to merge your indoor and outdoor environments in a functional and luxurious way.
We’ve outlined some of the key reasons why they have become such a popular option for those who value outdoor living and interior style so highly.
When you’re renovating or designing a property space, very few solutions offer such accessibility to an outdoor space as bi-fold doors do.
They create the potential of open living through their functionality and accessibility, making a room feel larger and more versatile.
Whether you’re hosting a family gathering, enjoying a quiet evening, or simply moving between spaces, bi-fold doors create a fluid, connected living experience.
Installed with the ambition of bringing the best of the outside world in, it is important to consider the width of your sightlines on any bi-fold door you choose.
A window’s ‘sightline’ refers to the amount of window frame that is visible when you’re looking directly at the window in front of you.
Modern design has seen sightlines become slimmer and slimmer, particularly with the stunning Origin OB-36+ Soho External Door, which stands at just 34mm.
This exquisite design allows natural light to flood into a property with the large glass panels making for a statement design piece.
When you think of bi-fold doors, naturally the mind is drawn to those long summer evenings, with the doors wide open. As wonderful as those evenings are, we all know the reality of the British weather. We’re not always that fortunate.
A quality bi-fold door ensures that your property remains warm in the winter and cool in the hotter summer months.
The lower a door’s U-Value, the more effectively it insulates your property and Origin bi-fold doors are among the top performers in this category.
The Origin OB-36+ bi-fold exceeds expectations with its impressive U-Value, which is as low as 1.0 W/m2K, meaning you can rest assured it is a product that will offer optimum thermal efficiency throughout the year.
Origin estimates that bi-fold doors can add up to 10% to the value of a property.
Adding them to your home can be one of the most cost-effective methods of adding long-term value. The same report from Origin estimated a 10-15% increase in value for properties with renovated kitchens, which in comparison, can often be a significantly more expensive project.
While bi-fold doors represent a significant investment, they have become a sought-after feature among prospective buyers.
It was revealed in a recent study from Which? that a larger garden and increased living space are two of the top five features buyers are looking for when searching for their next home, which is where bi-folds come in.
The natural light and additional ventilation they offer can make a home feel more spacious and inviting, with an element of ‘wow factor’ that is guaranteed to capture the hearts and imagination of prospective buyers in the future.
