Sun-soaked interiors, panoramic views and an unbroken connection between inside and out are a few of the benefits that accompany the installation of glazed doors. Choosing between bifolds, sliders and French varieties usually comes down to how you plan to use the space and your overall design goals for the project. Thanks to minimal framing and larger spans of glass, sliding openings are often the preferred choice for self builders and renovators keen to introduce the maximum amount of sunshine possible.
Aside from the obvious advantages of enhanced brightness and glorious outdoor vistas, slender frames often have the edge over thicker sightlines when it comes to establishing a contemporary aesthetic. “With narrower surrounds it’s possible to fit larger sealed units, maximising the glass area and breaking down the boundaries between inside and out”, says Edward Stobart, head of projects at IDSystems.
