Replacing french doors with bifold.
If your main priority is space it may be worth reminding yourself of the fact that bi fold doors take up less space as there s no protruding door when it s open since it just folds in on itself.
Take your bi fold door out of the closet and off the track if it isn t already.
Many of the pros and cons listed above would still apply though minus the lighting and view points of course.
I decided to take this makeover one step further.
While patio doors can replace external french doors bifold doors can be installed internally or externally.
If you re someone looking to maximise their interior space you might lean more towards bi fold doors.
Determine which way the doors will be facing and which one will be on the right and left when you hang them.
So that is the basics behind the face lift.
Unscrew and remove the track and any.
Bifold doors are made up of between 2 7 panels that fold into each other when opened leaving a spacious walk through to the next room or garden.
The style and color of the door handle can be upgraded and you can also add grids for a traditional french door look.
