How Thermally Efficient are Bifold Doors?

As well as giving your home a much-needed makeover, bifold doors unlock a number of practical advantages also. The bifold system’s thermal efficiency ensures that you can boost your home’s energy credentials and lower your gas bills all year round.

Here we explore just how thermally efficient bifold doors are so you can look forward to an energy efficient alternative to the traditional patio door.

Why go energy efficient?

When it comes to buying everything, from appliances to windows and doors, we’ve learnt that it certainly pays to go energy efficient. The same principle applies when choosing the perfect bifold door system for your home.

During the cooler months in particular, homeowners everywhere can reap the rewards of opting for energy efficient products. These products enable your property to retain more heat so that less energy is used and less money is spent making your home warm and cosy.

How do energy efficient bi fold doors work?

Using an advanced system of thermal breaks and weather tight seals, bifold doors ensure that any heat generated within your home remains in your property. Heat lost after all costs you money! Combine this with the latest innovations in locking mechanisms, and your bifold doors can provide a weather resistant defence against all the elements.

It’s not just during the autumn and winter months where you will feel the effects of your energy efficient bifold system. During warmer weather, bifold doors keep the inside of your home cool so you can take soaring temperatures in your stride.

How much energy can I save by installing bi-fold doors?

Every bifolding system comes with its own energy rating, generally from C to A, and taking note of this when making your selection is important. Depending on the energy rating you opt for, you could make energy savings of up to 27% according to Eco Bi fold Doors.
