Steal My Deal

Replacement windows and doors used to only be available in grey aluminium if you didnt want wood and the styles rarely bettered the aesthetics of the buildings they adorned. Accordingly, we are left with a legacy of ruined period homes which in some cases constitute a fire hazard because windows were designed without large enough opening sashes to escape through.

Then they became available in white PVCu which were at first cheap and of poor quality and bad design but which went on to become the excellent quality they are today and designed to suit the house not the pocket.

Home owners now have a much better selection of door and window materials and fashions to select from.

For many years, there has been a really big market for patio doors, which offer convenience and provide light and air into a home whilst providing a highly effective heat barrier when shut. Patio doors have recently made way for the “Rolls Royce in this market which is now the tremendously versatile Bi fold door. Anyone thinking of buying patio doors now should first consider whether they could increase their investment to a bifolding door.

Bifold patio doors can be organized to span a very wide aperture or smaller spaces, behaving when closed as a glass wall to allow in increased light and to offer panoramic views over the outside vista or garden. The complete wall can be in effect removed by opening the whole doors seamlessly incorporating the room into the external space. They are also ideal for maximizing space in restricted situations such as an opening onto a balcony in a small apartment.

Fully opened, the doors concertina and store compactly to left, right or both sides to limit their intrusion. If full opening is not required the doors can configured as french style doors or even as a single opening door.

Available in most of the latest materials, including timber, aluminium, PVCu and aluminium clad timber, this product is available in a good range of colours and finishes from specialist window companies. It is particularly attractive in aluminium clad timber where the selection of colour on the maintenance-free aluminium outside can complement your house’s exterior while the beauty and warmth of wood can heighten any interior.
