Consider The Benefits Of Exterior Folding Doors

When it comes to choosing external doors for a home, there are many options to choose from including oak, timber, upvc, glass, and exterior folding doors. Most people are familiar with the regular bifold, bypass, or louvered doors that are used as dividers for interior locations, but are unaware that exterior folding doors are available. These doors are an ideal alternative to traditional French or sliding patio doors.


Exterior folding doors are also known as zig-zag doors, a name that provides a good idea of how the doors work. Typically, when these doors are manufactured, 3 or more panels of glass are joined together in a wide variety of configurations. These doors are often seen in cafes and restaurants, allowing the area to be entirely open if the weather is pleasant.

Exterior folding doors offer greater flexibility than French doors or sliding patio doors. Depending on the amount of space that’s desired in an area, they can be partially opened, completely closed, or fully open. They make it entirely possible to easily connect the inside of a structure to an outdoor area. For instance, the entire back wall of a home can open to a garden if these doors are in place.

Exterior folding doors are available in a variety of materials including aluminum-clad timber, timber, aluminum, and PVCU. While the aluminum-clad timber door is an expensive option, it is both durable and attractive. The outside is constructed of a hard wearing aluminum material and the inside has an attractive wood finish. While the PVCU doors are typically the most affordable option, the color choices are limited. Aluminum doors are available in nearly any finish or color because they can be powder coated.

Most timber doors are made from laminated timber or hardwood, with the laminated variety being best if it will be installed in a South facing, coastal, or exposed position. These extreme conditions will cause a hardwood door to warp and become unusable. If you are unsure of the right door for your location, any reputable company, such as Jeld Wen will be able to offer professional advice.

If you are looking for a way to merge the interior of your home with an outdoor space, exterior folding doors may be just what you're looking for.
