Hi there
My big kitchen refurb is about to start ? sooner than I'd expected ? and I haven't made various big decisions. One is, what kind of doors to put in my newly created big opening (about 1700mm).
These new-fangled bi-fold doors seem to be all the rage, but the only real advantage I can see is that you only end up with one lot of 'door' to manage on the outside. But it's a lot of door, and it doesn't seem to fold right back against the wall. French doors, on the other hand, have two doors to contend with but you can generally fold them further back against the outside wall. We have a small garden, so maximising space is important.
Then, what material? I know that uPVC is seen as the devil's work, but it's SO much cheaper than hardwood, and less maintenance than painted softwood. Also, we're going to have wood surfaces in the kitchen, and a wooden table, so it could be a bit 'wood overload' with doors and windows the same.
Or is there an alternative I haven't thought of?
