Folding doors
We have already had the opportunity to talk several times about folding doors. This is because their original design and their high functionality allow a truly personal use, adaptable to every possible need.
So let's find out how folding doors allow you to improve your home, what their main advantages are and how you can buy this type of fixtures.
What are folding doors?
The folding door is a particular type of frame that has a very different structure compared to the typical swing alternatives. The doors, in fact, are connected to each other so as to fold up when opened. This setting causes the door to fold into itself, almost like the pages of a book.
A very useful alternative when you don't want to (or can't) buy a hinged door, or a sliding door, the folding door has obvious advantages. Let's find out which ones.
The first advantage: they offer space savings
The major plus point of folding doors is their excellent space management. Thanks to the structure that folds back on itself, this type of fixture occupies a very small volume. The encumbrance is minimal even when moving the doors, which allows you to choose the opening direction without making particular compromises.
Space saving makes folding doors perfect for delimiting raised rooms, given that even when opened, the overlapping panels take up minimal space.
In short, folding doors are ideal for small rooms or houses where space needs to be optimised.
They allow excellent light management
Having more natural light available at home is always a good idea. The benefits of outdoor lighting are numerous, not only from a purely stylistic point of view, but also from a physical and psychological point of view.
The internal folding doors, more than the glass alternatives, are perhaps the fixtures that allow you to better manage the light. This is because the opening mechanism allows you to lock the doors in the desired position. Unlike swing doors, open panels are unlikely to be moved by drafts or drafts, which is why they are perfect alternatives even in windy areas.
They are available in different styles
Contrary to what one might think, folding doors are also available in different styles. The basic structure always remains the same, with two doors of the same size (or one a third the size of the other). Above all, the material of the panels and the type of handle can change.
The classic alternatives are those in wood, which are also flanked by options in aluminum and PVC. Increasingly, however, glass models appear on the market, ideal for delimiting internal spaces from external ones. And this is one of the other strengths of these windows.
They can be used indoors and outdoors
Some types of doors are created to be used exclusively in internal environments, or in external environments. Folding doors, on the other hand, are useful both for delimiting domestic spaces and for creating a barrier between the inside and outside of the house.
Their structure is perfect for providing access to a garden or a small green area behind the house. Even more if we consider the aforementioned ability to manage light in the best possible way, and the reduced space occupied both in the closing and opening phases.
They have a sustainable cost
The price of folding doors is often competitive. Depending on the various models, in fact, it is possible to buy a window even for less than € 400. Since these are such versatile and useful windows, these are certainly advantageous economic conditions. The fundamental variables to take into consideration, when talking about the price, are the size of the panels and their material. The more classic alternatives, in wood, are certainly accessible to a large public.
