If you have your bifolds open 'all the time' in summer

Where do you live?

I'm in NOrth West and there's probably 2 months of the year at a stretch when we would reliably want our sliding doors open 'all the time'.

in the south. Fully open, maybe twice a year if having a party. The indoor floors end up with half the garden blown in, makes me laugh when you see it on adverts and the house area looking immaculate, it really doesn’t!

I live in Scotland and I've been racking my brain: I don't know anyone with bifolds.

I know bifolds are NOT loved here but I love mine. I think things like this go in and out of fashion and they are currently out on MN.

They are currently wide open and it is wonderful.
I am in the SE and we seriously will have them open every day except the torrential rainy ones which are all too often from now until late autumn.

We don't really feel the cold and we like the fresh air.

We live in Northamptonshire so not a cold part of the country, our French doors are rarely open and when it is very hot they have to be closed or the air con isn't effective. We haven't opened them yet this year as highest temperature has been 20c and it was very windy, it was about two weeks ago, wind gusts were nearly 50mph, it doesn't look like they are going to be open anytime soon looking at the weather forecast. Last time they were opened a lot was probably the Covid year
