The Colour of Your Bi-Fold Doors from Bi-Fold Doors UK

Posted on by admin

When looking at the technical specifications page of the Bi-Fold Doors UK website, you’ll probably have noticed that you can choose the colour, or wood stain, for your bi-fold doors. The colours available are based on the
RAL and BS standards.
Ultimately, you are going to choose a colour, or wood stain, that is in-keeping with the style of your home, but what exactly are the RAL and BS colour standards? Would it help if you had a bit more information about them before you make your choice of colour?
Here is a bit more information about the colours available from Bi-Fold Doors UK:

RAL Colours
The classic RAL system defines standard colours for paints and colours, and is the most popular European colour standard used today. It is, ultimately, a colour matching system often used for powder-coating. The colours are used in architecture, construction and road safety. Since 2013, RAL have used a hologram to help classify true RAL standard colours.
You can take a look at the colour chart on the RAL colour website. Please note though that any colour system you take a look at on your computer may be altered by your monitor, screen brightness and computer settings.

BS Colours
The BS colour standard is a British standard colour matching system. The BS 4800: 2011 colour chart supersedes the BS 4800:1989 which was used up until May 2012.
You can take a look at the BS colour standard online. Again, the colours may be affected by your monitor or printer. For a more accurate representation of colours, you can purchase a BS colour chart.
In addition, the names of the paints vary from company to company. Although the names used in the colour chart are commonly used, the colour may sometimes be referred under a different name.
Bi-Fold Doors UK aim to offer you range of high-quality colours for your bi-fold doors that match RAL or BS colours, depending on your individual requirements.
This means that you don’t need to worry about choosing the colour of your new bi-fold doors, as the colour will match the standard!

Should you opt for Internal Bi-fold Doors or Internal French Doors?

Posted on by admin
“Stuck between choosing bifold doors vs french doors?”

AFrench doors undoubtedly offer a grand opening, especially into a large kitchen, conservatory, orangery or dining room, and have long been a popular choice for contemporary and traditional properties.

Bi fold internal doors, however, are making a comeback and are gaining in popularity. Particularly in properties where the owner is looking to save space.

The Benefits of Internal Bi-fold Doors

The main advantage of internal bi-fold doors are the fact that they save on space and because the doors do not open outwards into the room, as a result, they make the room appear much bigger. They also prevent problems associated with doors slamming in your house. Internal bi-fold doors can, ultimately, save in excess of 85% of the space that would be traditionally used up by conventional doors.
What’s more, because internal bi-fold doors can, if you want, primarily be designed to feature a glass pane, you can maximise the amount of natural light that is reflected around your property.

Bi-fold doors can add a unique touch to your home and when open, encourage a better air flow.

Internal French Doors

Like internal bi-fold doors, internal French doors also allow for a large amount of light to enter a room by offering various glass configurations.

Internal French doors are a fantastic, luxurious feature for any home. French Doors can be used to separate a number of rooms in the home. At Windows Doors UK, we think French doors look great when separating orangeries and conservatories from the main house.
