The Best Doors for Summer: Patio Doors vs Bifold Doors
Summer has arrived, and many homeowners are beginning to look for ways to make the most of their living space. If you are entertaining guests, relaxing in the garden, or soaking up the sun, having the right doors can change how you connect your home to the outdoors.
Two of the most popular choices for doors this summer are patio sliding doors and bifold doors. These doors offer both visually pleasing qualities and increase natural light, while also providing easy access to the garden.
At Warwick Glass, we install a range of high-quality bifolding doors and patio doors across Warwickshire and the surrounding areas. In this article, we will compare the key features and benefits of each to help you decide which door will upgrade your home experience this summer.
What Are Patio Doors?
Patio doors typically refer to sliding doors that have large glass panes that glide horizontally along a track. These doors are known for their space-saving features as the panel slides directly on top of the fixed panel, with no need to swing out.
Due to their large glass panels and slimline frames, patio doors also allow plenty of natural light to flood into your home, creating a bright, airy atmosphere throughout the day. They offer clear, unobstructed views of your garden or outdoor space, especially valuable during the summer months.
Modern patio doors are designed with energy efficiency and security in mind, featuring advanced double glazing, robust frames, and multi-point locking systems. Whether you’re looking to improve ventilation, enhance aesthetics, or simply enjoy a better connection to your garden, patio doors offer a practical and stylish solution.
Benefits of Patio Doors:
✔️ Slim Frames & Large Glass Area means better views and more natural light.
✔️ Ideal For Smaller Spaces as they do not need space to open out.
✔️ Smooth Sliding Mechanism to allow for effective opening and closing.
✔️ High Security Locks for peace of mind, protecting you and your family.
These uPVC sliding doors or aluminium sliding doors are best for homes with limited space or minimalist aesthetics. They are perfect for both contemporary and older properties, offering open access to the garden.
What Are Bifold Doors?
Bifold doors are made up of multiple panels that fold back on themselves in a concertina style. When they are fully opened, they create a completely open space, offering a smooth transition between the indoors and the outdoors. This makes them a popular choice for homeowners in Warwickshire and the surrounding areas who wish to make their home feel more open in the summer months.
There are further options for bifold doors to suit a range of property types, with options such as two-panel bifolding doors or multi-panel folding doors that can span the entire wall. They can be installed inwards or outwards and can feature a range of glazing options, colours, and hardware.
Whether you are updating a traditional property, a modern property, or adding to an extension or conservatory, bifold doors are a great choice. They offer excellent design, performance, and a sleek solution for bringing the outdoors into your home this summer.
Benefits of Bifold Doors:
✔️ Wide Opening Space, which is ideal for easy access when hosting or simply going to relax in your garden.
✔️ Customisable Options including colours, finishes, hardware, as well as inward and outward opening.
✔️ Increased Natural Light for creating a bright and airy atmosphere within the home.
✔️ Upgraded Energy Efficiency as we have a choice of both uPVC and aluminium bifold doors, which keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
Overall, these are best for homeowners looking for a sleek and modern look, whilst creating a bright and airy space for the summer months.
