Mix Living Environments With A Set Of Bi-Folds

Regular viewers of the popular TV series Grand Designs will have seen a recent episode which featured ‘Sunflex’ bi-folding doors, a brand that Mitchell Glass has been supplying and installing for over 10 years.

Widely recognised as pioneers in the manufacture of bi-folding doors, Sunflex happen to produce the most technologically advanced bi-folds on the market, a proven method of eliminating the boundary between internal home living and the outdoor world. The primary advantage a bi-fold has over French doors and patio doors is that it provides a far wider opening than the latter two options, a virtually unrestricted opening of 95%, and only a matter of seconds is all it takes to slide them out of the way. They glide so effortlessly across the runners that you’ll never tire of operating them each time you get an urge to expose one type of environment to the other. At this time of year they’re unlikely to be utilised as often as they would be during our hottest season, but you will still get an immense amount of pleasure out of them due to the sleek sightlines as they guarantee you the most magnificent uninterrupted views of the outdoor landscape; huge expanses of glass are incorporated into the solid frames. When left in the closed position expect them to offer superb energy efficiency and act as a preventative measure in terms of keeping intruders at bay due to the durability of the frames. They’re a contemporary door solution that should be rank highly in the buying agenda of any forward-thinking homeowner. You can see a sample prototype of the Sunflex bi-folding door within our Galashiels showroom, amongst a host of other stylish home improvement products.
