Bifold exterior doors are a popular option for many homeowners. They need minimal space to open and close compared to traditional French patio doors. Exterior bi fold doors are attractive and easy to use, helping you make the most of your living space. You could argue that bifold doors are the gold standard of patio doors. 

What are bifold patio doors?

External bifold doors are glass panel doors that use a track system to slide and fold as they open. These door systems are also known as folding sliding doors, outdoor bifold doors, concertina doors or exterior folding patio doors. They are usually top-hung and use a base track to guide the door panels as they slide and fold.

Sliding bifold doors are usually installed to help create a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. Their concertina-style folding mechanism allows the door opening to be completely clear when the doors are open.

External bi fold doors are double glazed for energy efficiency and usually made of aluminium, upvc or timber. To understand how bifold external doors work, be sure to read our article explaining the different types of folding door. You can see how a bifold door differs from french doors or sliding doors.
