What are Smart doors?

Smart doors come in many configurations, like bifold doors, and are some of the most popular doors in the UK. Made from aluminium, Smart doors for the home enable the user to effectively open an entire wall, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living. Whether you opt for Visofold bi-folding doors that concertina to the doorframe, we have the perfect solution.

Smart Bifolding Doors

The Smart Visofold bifolding doors are set on runners in the floor and the upper beams of a doorway. They feature a choice of internally or externally folding panels, which when open help to integrate your home’s external and internal living spaces, offering uninterrupted views, boasting maximum light and enhancing space. With internal glazing beads preventing the removal of glass from outside, and high-security locking mechanisms in the handle, the doors are built to last and be secure. A single traffic door can be incorporated within the configuration for ease of access.

Smart bifolding doors can be used in domestic applications as either an alternative to sliding doors,  or to open an entire wall as part of an extension, conservatory or orangery. The system will make the most of a view or bring the garden into the home.  These bifolding doors also make an excellent choice for a garden building. Whether using as a home office, games room or a relaxing refuge, by adding bifolding doors the space will be filled with natural light.

Bifolding Doors VS Sliding Doors?

When choosing a new door, there are several things you’ll need to consider – particularly whether a sliding or folding system is right for you. Here’s a handy guide to help you decide…

BifoldingDoors

Bifolding doors are available in a range of opening configurations to suit any room in your house. They can fold to reveal a near 100% opening aperture, bringing the outside in, allowing unobstructed views when open, boasting maximum light, uninterrupted views and creating amazing living spaces. Additionally, they offer the option of a traffic door which gives ease of access when just popping out to the garden, without the need to open them fully. The folded leaves can stack inside or outside to suit your living space.

What are the benefits of bifolding doors?

  • Aluminium frames boast a low carbon footprint.
  • Slim lines combine elegance with great performance together with smooth, easy, and reliable operation.
  • Multiple doors leave concertina to the side.
  • Can incorporate a ‘traditional traffic door’ for flexible use.
  • Completely uninterrupted views when open.
  • A great solution for small spaces.

Sliding Doors 

Our sliding doors combine the benefits of a large glass area, perfect for maximising light and framing picturesque views, with easy accessibility and functionality.  These doors come in slide operation on double or triple tracks with panes that move to the side and stack behind one another.  Sliding doors are a great option for those looking for a versatile system that offers easy function combined with a contemporary appearance.
