Individual rooms are being phased out in favour of large, multi-functional open plan spaces, with wide expanses of glass utilised to flood homes with daylight and blur the lines between the inside and outside.
Homeowners are becoming much more in tune with the ‘on trend’ styles and finishes that they want to achieve for their properties, whether that’s building a home, renovating, or refurbishing. This makes it the perfect opportunity for architects and designers to showcase their design skills as homeowners are more likely to grasp the vision presented to them for a perfect living space.
For customers looking for the contemporary styling of open plan, seamless living, then it’s probably time to throw away the rule book. There are lots of ways to create these much sought-after features with the use of widespan glazing.
Combining style, versatility and functionality, aluminium bifold doors are the ideal option to completely open up wall spaces, flooding rooms with natural daylight and fresh air. With the design capabilities to bring design visions to life for an all-round quality home improvement.
The perfect selling point for your customers when it comes to aluminium bifold doors is the ability to offer a wall of glass that can be folded away, opening up a room to the garden and effectively merging the inside together with the outside to create a seamless space for the whole household to use.
Open plan designs can enhance the home with distinct zones for activities such as dining or relaxing, and these dedicated specific functions naturally separate a room to form a truly modern living space. The wide expanses of glass are also perfect for framing the view and letting in that all-important daylight.
Aluminium is a material that offers a host of benefits.
Despite being incredibly lightweight, aluminium is also inherently strong, and this strength-to-weight-ratio enables us to manufacture a system that is not only easy to use but also has slim sightlines for a sleek finish.
Durability and excellent resistance to corrosion are two other great advantages of aluminium bifold doors, which means our bifold doors maintain their impressive appearances for decades to come.
Not only is aluminium renowned for strength, durability and high-quality performance, but it’s also recognised as one of the world’s most sustainable building materials.
Providing superb energy efficiency and insulating benefits, our aluminium bifold doors are engineered with outstanding thermal performance, improving a home’s sustainability and lowering the impact on the environment.
Open plan living is designed to create a space where rooms flow together, maximising use of the available area and embracing innovative design choices. With sleek frames, clean sightlines, and expansive glazing, aluminium bifold doors are the ideal option to complement contemporary homes.
