“Bi-fold Doors are perfect for a Small Kitchen”

In the last couple of months we’ve been writing blog articles about why bi-fold doors are a great choice for your property. Their main benefit being the fact that they save on space.

This week then, we thought we’d take a look at the benefits and uses of bi-fold doors in smaller kitchens.

Why Small Kitchens Benefit from Bi-fold Doors

The Entrance Door

A standard swing door can take up space in a small kitchen, particularly if it opens inwards. You may be cooking in the kitchen when another family member comes in, opens the door and pushes the door into you because there isn’t enough space for you and the open door in the kitchen.

Of course, you could consider removing the door altogether and having an open plan kitchen, but this promotes cooking smells spreading around the rest of the house which is unpleasant and no amount of incense, scented candles or odour repelling spray will get rid of it sufficiently.

The perfect answer, of course, is installing a bi-fold door as an entrance door to your kitchen. A bi-fold door not only helps prevent cooking smells spreading to the rest of the house, but has a modern and stylish aesthetic appearance. In addition, bi-fold doors avoid the problem of taking up limited space, when compared to doors that are swung open.

What you should consider though, when purchasing the bi-fold door as a kitchen entrance door, is the material and ratio of glass included. In very small kitchens, where the door is close to the oven, glass panels may steam up and cloud over.
