Wooden sliding doors for your home’s interior

Posted on by admin

Wooden sliding doors are becoming increasingly popular amongst many homeowners. One of the advantages of sliding doors themselves is the fact that they take up far less space than doors that open outwards.

What’s more, wooden doors are slowly losing any reputation of being less durable than UPVC and aluminium doors, becoming even more liked for their luxury, sophisticated appeal and classic edge.

Like our space-saving bi-folding doors, sliding doors are suitable for both interior and exterior use.

All our wooden sliding doors are manufactured to the highest quality and can be made with varying glass panel configurations to provide varying aesthetics in your home.

Some uses of wooden sliding doors for your home’s interior are as follows:

An interior door for a conservatory or orangery

Wooden sliding doors, particularly double-leafed doors, work well when installed in the entrance of an orangery or conservatory. More glass panels in these doors allows even more sunlight into the main areas of your house through conservatory doors.

Room divider

Some property owners choose to have wooden sliding doors installed to simply act as room dividers between rooms in your property. Wooden sliding doors with glass panels, for example, allow much more natural light into a room than a solid wall or a standard solid wooden door. Sliding doors are also a subtler entrance than hinged doors.

Wardrobe doors

Wooden sliding doors are both aesthetically-pleasing and effective when installed for a walk-in wardrobe. Wooden sliding doors save a considerable amount of space in bedrooms and mean there is less of an issue rising as a result of difficulties when aligning furniture with outwards opening doors etc.

Pantry Door

A wooden sliding door can make a great choice of door for a downstairs pantry, or even as the entrance to a toys and games room. The great thing about wooden sliding doors is the fact that they can be made flush with the wall for an entrance that appears almost like a secret room or extra storage space.

What type of interior doors would most suit your home?

Posted on by admin

What type of interior doors would most suit your home?

For most people, when it comes to choosing their exterior doors, the decision is often a fairly straight-forward one. Most people will opt for a highly-secure, yet aesthetically pleasing, front door and will also have a rough idea about what type of door would be best for their back door.

Interior doors, however, are a slightly different story as there appears to be a lot more scope for choice. Internal doors, of course, are unlikely to be affected by the weather and are bought more with aesthetics in mind.

So, what type of interior doors would most suit you. Why not ask yourself the following questions?

Do you have any children or pets?

Of course, parents with babies and toddlers will require special features added to the doors in their property. However, you may also want to think about what type of interior doors would be most suitable and safe for your property.

Of course, all the doors from Bi Fold Doors UK offer excellence in terms of safety. However, there are certain styles of doors that are more suited to properties with young families and pets.

Stable doors, for example, can be an excellent door to separate an extension area of your property from the main interior of your property, particularly if you have a dog or cat.

How much space do you require?

If you are looking to save space within your home, then bi-fold doors are the perfect option of door for you. Bi-fold doors save at least 90% of space, in comparison to other standard doors. This is because they do not take up any space in the surrounding room.

What’s more, bi-fold doors can be used in any room of your property and work extremely well. You can also choose from wood or aluminium bi-fold doors, depending on your property’s interior style.

How much light would you like reflected within the property?

Interior doors that have a significant amount of glass panelling tend to reflect more light around a property. Therefore, in properties where you are looking to maximise on space and light, glass bi-fold doors are an excellent choice.

That said, French doors, oak internal doors with a glass panel, and other types of doors can be also made with a large glass panelling to again enhance the light around the property’s interior.

What style of home do you have?

If you have a very modern home, you may be inclined to opt for aluminium interior doors, or doors with a lighter, less historic style of wood.

You may also opt for glass doors and those with a more modern aesthetic.
