When you want to replace your patio doors, what is the best option for you? In recent years, bi-fold doors have seen a huge increase in popularity across the UK. Many homeowners have chosen bi-folds for their wide opening capacity and visually impressive aesthetic. Despite the rise in popularity of bi-fold doors, sliding patio doors remain a popular alternative. Their smooth sliding action and large glazed area continue to attract many homeowners.
Both options have their own advantages. The ultimate decision will usually depend a lot on personal preference. At FineLine, we install both bi-fold and sliding patio doors in either uPVC, aluminium, or timber. Here are some of the features and benefits of each patio door style.
