uPVC Bifold Doors

Depending where you live, uPVC bifold doors may also be known as PVCu folding doors or PVC bi-fold doors. Regardless of what name is used, they all refer to the same thing. Of course the quality and build of each bi-folding door varies from company to company and location to location.
Sometimes when searching for bifold doors, instead of finding secure, thermal glass panelled doors that can be used inside or outside, you may end up finding a lot of other types of bi-folding doors - such as bifold doors for wardrobes or room dividers (often wooden folding doors made up of rickety slats) or entirely glass bi-fold doors for showers. There is no good way of narrowing down the search, unless you add in keywords relating to what you're searching for (like 'exterior bifold doors' or 'external bifold doors'), but then you run the risk of cutting out a lot of companies who may not use those terms on their website and you could potentially miss out on a good deal.
It is best to make a cup of tea and spend some time searching through the websites and gathering up all the bifold doors websites that offer the right kind of bi-folding door, and then compare them.

Bifold Doors History

Speaking about the history of bifold door company, Veka Matrix in my last post (Veka Matrix Bifold Doors) has made me think about the history of Bifold doors in general. There's a great post about it in the bifold door blog: Bifold Doors - Past vs. Present.

The post mostly covers the history of the bifold doors on market today, recalling experiences of flimsy doors and poor quality hardware. But what about the history before that?

Wikipedia states that the Greeks and Romans used folding doors or sliding doors. There have been recordings of these doors - images and carvings depicted in stone. The folding leaves of the doors were even hinged so they could be folded away.
