Expert Advice
What is best? A sliding door or a folding door?
The choice between a bifolding door or a sliding door depends upon your home and your requirements. As a general guide, if you have a large garden, countryside views or just desire the best possible visual clarity out of your doors, sliding doors are better because they don’t have as much visible aluminium.
Bifolding doors are ideal if you perhaps have a smaller space and want to connect the inside of your home to this space better. Contact us and we can discuss your requirements.
Sliding doors will give you bigger glass panels, better views, better light transmission and is the ideal product for creating the desirable ‘glass wall’, so popular with modern extensions.
The choice is yours at GoDoors, we have the door to suit you.
How many sliding door panels should my door have?
The bigger glass available with sliding doors enables bigger door panels than any bifolding or hinged doors. Where many bifolding doors have to be configured in many panels, sliding doors can be made up to 2.4metres wide and up to 3 metres high. This gives you the choice of having less panels in larger openings.
The choice is yours , you can design both sliding and bi folding doors to your own design using our on line GoDoor design tool.
