Wise Observer

In the past the only choice when one replaced their windows and did not want to use wood was silver aluminium. Consequently, we are left with a legacy of ruined period homes which in some cases are a fire hazard because windows were fashioned without large enough opening sashes to escape through.

Then they became available in white PVCu which were firstly 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.

As the old-fashioned designs become obsolete, house owners now have a superfluity of window and door styles and materials to select from.

For numerous years, there has been a very big marketplace for patio doors, which offer convenience and allow light and air into a home whilst offering 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 flexible bifolding door. If you are looking at purchasing patio doors bifold doors should be a consideration.

Bifold patio doors can be configured to span a very wide opening or smaller spaces, behaving when closed as a glass wall to let in enhanced light and to offer panoramic views over the outside scene or garden. The complete wall can be in effect removed by opening the complete doors seamlessly integrating 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 flat.
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.

It is especially attractive in aluminium clad timber where the selection of colour on the maintenance-free aluminium outside can complement your house’s outside whilst the beauty and warmth of wood can enhance any interior.
