5 Benefits of Bifold Doors For Your Essex Home

Do you live in Essex? Are you planning any home improvements in the near future? Would you like to transform your home with a stylish new entrance? Along with sliding patio doors and French doors for your home, bifold doors are now one of the most popular options. Their innovative opening action and multiple configuration capacity makes them perfect for a wide range of applications.

At Chigwell Window Centre, we install high-quality aluminium bifold doors across Essex, ideal as front doors or back doors. From Dartford to Romford and Basildon to Billericay, all our bifold doors are bespoke designed to meet every customer’s exact specifications. If you’re considering bifold doors for your Essex home, here are five benefits that they are sure to provide.

1. Superb thermal performance

Aluminium bifold doors provide outstanding levels of thermal performance. Our aluminium bifolds are made from Smart Architectural Aluminium which helps to create bifold doors which can achieve U-values as low as 1.5 W/m²K. Featuring polyamide thermal breaks, high quality gaskets and weather brushes, they easily exceed modern standards for energy efficiency double glazing performance.

2. Available in an extensive range of colours and finishes

Our bifold doors are available in over 200 different colours. Choose from a range of finishes including realistic woodgrain effect, metallic, and a selection of textured finishes. You can even opt for a dual colour finish for a different colour on the interior and exterior of your new bifolds. From timeless classics like white, black and anthracite grey to bold reds and stylish blues, there’s sure to be the perfect colour to suit your home.

3. Low maintenance and durable

Aluminium is a naturally strong and durable material. It provides excellent levels of weather protection and requires virtually no maintenance to keep it performing like new. It also helps to enhance your home’s security with multi-point locking systems which achieve stringent PAS24 2016 accreditation.

4. Configured to your design

Bifold doors open smoothly on a high functioning track system. Each of the door leafs neatly folds back, stacking to one side to maximise floor space. The folding sashes can be specified as either internally or externally folding and you can choose a single entrance door option which functions just like a normal door.

5. Increase your home’s value

Installing bifold doors at your home can potentially increase property value by 5 – 10%. This is a considerable increase and well worth considering whether you’re planning to sell or not. Bifold doors also boost kerb appeal, meaning that your home will look more attractive to any prospective buyers.

As you can see, bifold doors are an excellent addition to any home. If you’d like to find out more about our bifold doors or any of our products and services call 0203 667 9707 or contact us online.
