If you live in the UK it’s likely you’ve been blessed with
great summer weather recently, as a heatwave has visited most regions over the
last few days. To the delight of many, the sunshine is set to continue for at least another two weeks,
which means more time spent outdoors, BBQs in the warm evenings, and beautiful sunsets.
Although this favourable weather comes with many benefits,
you may be finding it difficult to keep cool at home. This can be especially
tricky if you are out during the day and cannot keep your windows open for
ventilation, or if you have a garden room or conservatory that gets so warm it
becomes unusable. The heat can be uncomfortable for children and pets, and the
warm nights can make sleeping difficult for those who are used to cooler
temperatures.
If you’ve been struggling this year, it may be worth
thinking about having bifold
doors installed in your home. They are perfect for garden rooms,
conservatories, kitchens and living rooms which open onto your garden or patio
space. Bifold doors have a unique design, which allows them to be pushed to the
side to create a large, uninterrupted opening. Their super low or invisible
threshold creates a seamless transition between the outside and the inside of
your property, allowing for a fantastic entertaining space and providing
optimal ventilation when the doors are open.
If your home has a nice garden or great views, bifold doors
can have a very positive impact on your interior space, as well as the
exterior. The slim aluminium frames and large panes allow for uninterrupted
views, connecting you to nature and the ever-changing seasons. At this time of
year, when it’s light long into the evenings, being able to enjoy your garden
once you have gone inside means getting so much more value for your hard work.
If you live in an area with little light pollution, your
bifold doors will give you the opportunity to gaze at the stars from the
comfort of your home. This can be exciting for young children and adults alike
– your bifold doors provide an ever-changing picture that’s always interesting
to look at.
A feature like this in any home can transform
the space, and in turn make it more attractive to prospective buyers should you
ever decide to sell. Your bifold doors are likely to add value to your home,
especially as they can be perfectly tailored to your property in both size and
colour
While bifold doors really come into their own during the
summer months, you may also be wondering how they fare during the autumn and
winter, when freezing temperatures are common. Thankfully, bifold doors are an
extremely efficient option when it comes to keeping the heat in and the cold
out. They are completely sealed when shut to keep draughts at bay, and the high
quality materials have been manufactured with optimal thermal efficiency in
mind. In fact, our bifold doors have an impressive U-value of 1.32, which is a
better score than both solid and cavity walls. If you are replacing a set of
sliding patio doors or similar, you may also find that your heating bills go
down after having your bifolds installed, due to their superior thermal
efficiency.
Bifold doors have year-round benefits, but are an especially
good asset when the weather is as warm and sunny as it has been this year. If
