Bifold Doors Vs Patio Doors – What Is The Difference?
If you are considering brand new back doors for your home in Swindon, you may have encountered bifold doors and patio doors and be left wondering what the differences between the two doors are. In this article, we look at bifold and patio doors, their key differences, and which could be better suited to your Wiltshire home.
Bifold Doors
Bifold doors consist of multiple panels that fold and stack to one side (or both sides), are connected by hinges and a sliding track system, and, therefore, open in a concertina motion. This makes them fantastic for homes that want larger openings. Bifold doors create a flexible living space, allowing a stunning amount of natural light to flood into your home in Wiltshire. So, not only do bifold doors enhance your home’s aesthetic with a luxurious touch, but they will also create a welcoming environment inside. The Korniche aluminium bifold doors that we supply and install at Wiltshire Windows have scratch and weather-resistant powder coating, making them incredibly easy to maintain.

Patio Doors
Patio doors usually have two or more large glass panels, with one of the panels sliding along a track to open, so when open, only part of the doorway is open, with the other panel remaining stationary. For security, patio doors are a reliable choice as they include a multi-point locking system to keep you and your family safe. The uPVC patio doors that we supply and install at Wiltshire Windows meet British security standards and have passed the most strenuous of testing so you can have peace of mind about any potential intruders. Patio sliding doors deliver fantastic thermal performance and have an exceptional ability to keep your home at a comfortable temperature all year while protecting it from draughts and reducing unwanted noise pollution from the outside.
Which Door Is Right For My Home?
The choice is entirely up to you and depends on your space availability and design preferences. For instance, for smaller homes or places where space is a premium, a bifold door can be a wise choice as they fold up neatly. Alternatively, for frequent use, patio doors can be a great choice as they are easy to open and close. Patio doors and bifold doors both make excellent choices for any Wiltshire home, giving you beautiful views of the outside world complemented with security features that will keep you and your family safe. However, for smaller homes or places where space is a premium, a bifold door can be a wise choice as they fold up neatly.
