Brief Overview of Bi-Fold Door
A bi-fold door is a space-saving door system comprising multiple hinged panels that fold and stack neatly against a wall or opening jamb when opened. It operates on a top and/or bottom track system, guiding the panels to concertina (fold) open, which allows it to open up a much wider aperture than a standard hinged door. This design is ideal for creating a seamless transition between interior spaces (like closets or room dividers) or, most notably, between interior and exterior spaces (such as opening onto a patio or garden). It maximizes natural light and views when open, essentially creating a large, unobstructed opening. While offering a modern, streamlined look, its mechanical operation is more complex than a standard door, relying on a precise hardware system for smooth and stable function.
