I had thought we were having bifold doors, went to see the factory / showroom today. And I saw sliding doors that were lovely and now I'm undecided now. We have to have one of them - we have a 4m hole in the part built extension.
Does anyone have experience of sliding doors (and wish they'd gone for bifold) or vice versa?
If we have bifolds, there will be 4 doors (each 1m), so 3 "in between" frames blocking the view (and the frame is quite bulky) but they will open more or less fully (save for say 0.5m where they'd be stacked at the side).
The sliding doors would be 3 doors (so about 1.3m each) so only 2 slimline frames obscuring the view but all 3 windows slide into 1 section, so "fully" open means 2.6m is open, 1.3m would still be kind of closed off.
We have 3 children, 1 of which can trip over fresh air. I have visions of him going straight into the patio doors.
There no material difference in price. Any views?
