If you are tossing up between using bifolding doors or slider doors in your home, perhaps you should weigh up the pros and cons of each. While both types can be very aesthetically pleasing and functional in most homes, there are times when one type of access is better suited than the other, due to:
Opening
If you want to be able to open up an entire wall in your home to the outside, bifolding doors are probably going to be the best choice. Bifolding doors collapse to the side with ease, creating a more ‘open’ feeling in the room and really merging the indoors with the outdoors. If this is not the case, perhaps slider doors are the better option. These entrances are made up of glass panels that are mounted onto tracks and can be pushed aside, in front of a fixed panel, when opened. Slider doors will block sections of the wall from being used as a walkway, but the glass will still enable maximum light to penetrate the room.
Space
If you are worried about space either indoors or outdoors, you will probably find that slider doors will work best for you. They take up little to no room when opened or closed thanks to all the panels gently sliding in front of one another in line with the wall. On the other hand, if space is not an issue in your home, bifolding doors are a great option. The bonus of these doors is that they don’t encroach on too much of the space either side of the frame, allowing you to still place furniture close by.
At the end of the day, both bifolding doors and slider doors are ideal choices for most homes. What it comes down to is which one you personally prefer and which one is going to be the most functional and practical in your home.
