Patio door options and upgrades.
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.
I decided to take this makeover one step further.
The style and color of the door handle can be upgraded and you can also add grids for a traditional french door look.
So that is the basics behind the face lift.
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.
Unscrew and remove the track and any.
I didn t just hate the look of the bi fold doors i also hated the fact that they were bi fold doors.
As you look at replacing your sliding patio door with a french patio door there are a variety of options and upgrades to consider.
Many of the pros and cons listed above would still apply though minus the lighting and view points of course.
For example if you were considering replacing the french doors leading to your wardrobe or kitchen pantry with bifold doors it wouldn t be half as complicated a job.
Determine which way the doors will be facing and which one will be on the right and left when you hang them.
While patio doors can replace external french doors bifold doors can be installed internally or externally.
As a final spruce up replace the door hardware with something a little snazzier.
