THINGS TO CONSIDER AS YOU SELECT YOUR BIFOLD DOORS
Consider the surrounding space before you decide on accordion doors. Since the panels in a bifold wall system extend outward or inward and stack together at the end, be sure that your home exterior or interior has ample space for the panels to operate. Can the panels fold outward without bumping into fencing or permanent features such as a built-in seating or planters? Can they fold inward without crowding a seating area or grazing light fixtures? Is there enough room for them to stack together without blocking walkways or hallways? If you’re short on space, a sliding system might be a better choice.

Bifold doors, even large systems, can be surprisingly energy efficient. BasikWall Bifold systems offer a choice of energy-efficient glass packages for a variety of climates. Exceptional engineering means we can also add thermal breaks that help maintain comfortable temperatures inside homes located in more extreme climates. But the biggest difference in creating an energy-efficient bifold door system comes down to constructing it from a material best suited for that geographic area. For example, we offers bifold door systems in Aluminum, Aluminum Thermal Break and custom.

Bifold doors can work beautifully in coastal homes and businesses.

Worried about bugs? We offer screen options that complement our bifold exterior patio doors. The screen is mounted inside, so you can open the bifold door system and then pull the screen shut. Select screens can include a blind option that adds privacy while the door system remains open.
