This simple upgrade is relatively inexpensive and can instantly transform your interior space into a stylish and modern industrial look, making them a popular choice for newly built homes. with steel look patio doors.
At Direct Trade Windows, we believe both options have their merits. While aluminium bifold doors may have a higher initial cost and potentially require additional investment to match the thermal efficiency of uPVC, they offer superior aesthetics, durability, and are perfect for those seeking a premium choice with a slightly higher budget.
Aluminium bifold doors boast exceptional strength and, when powder coated, can maintain their integrity for decades. Requiring minimal maintenance – primarily occasional cleaning – they outshine timber and uPVC counterparts in terms of resistance to warping caused by weather conditions. The inherent robustness of aluminium, making it a great alternative to traditional steel doors, allows for slimmer frames, providing a broader and more expansive view through the doors. Additionally, aluminium is a more suitable material for large format doors and windows, as it is less expensive and does not have the same coldness as steel-framed doors.
Steel-look bifold doors provide exceptional outdoor connectivity and effective ventilation. They seamlessly blend the indoors with the outdoors, offering a sleek and modern aesthetic while maintaining slim sightlines.
