The benefits of Oak internal bi fold doors

There are various finishes to choose from and Oak is a really popular option. It's easy to match with furniture and flooring, and it gives a natural appeal to your living space. An Oak frame is warm and inviting, perfect for providing rustic appeal and ideal for a wide variety of rooms. When you choose an Oak bifold door you're making a classic choice that doesn't risk looking dated as trends change.

Why choose an internal folding door?

Bifold doors are also known as folding doors. They consist of several panels which fold together as the door opens. Moving like a concertina, bifold doors cover a wide doorway when closed but are space-efficient when pushed back. With the doors taking up little space when fully open, a large flowing entryway is created between rooms. As with standard internal doors, a bifold door can sit fully open, partly open or fully shut for privacy. Internal folding doors operate on a track mechanism to ensure the door panels stay in place and operate smoothly.

Internal folding doors are popular for many reasons, both aesthetic and functional. Bifold doors are often first thought of as external doors as they are commonly used as patio doors. However, interior bifold doors are increasingly popular due to the style's versatility, practicality and elegance. If you are thinking of choosing internal bifold doors, consider some of their main benefits:

Maximise light flow

Bifold doors are a great choice if you want to increase light flow in your home. As internal bifolds are usually used on wide doorways, having the flexibility to push back the doors completely to allow maximum light flow can make a big difference. If you opt for glazed bifold doors, this will improve light flow throughout your home even when the doors are closed.

Open up your home

Internal Oak bifold doors are often seen as a way to perfectly balance open plan living with privacy. You may love the look of an open-plan space but if you have several family members carrying out different activities within this space, it can become noisy and distracting. Bifold doors allow you the best of both worlds. They can be pushed open for gatherings and social time but closed when privacy is needed or different activities are being carried out across rooms.

Versatile

If you are after a certain style, finish or look, bifold doors will likely be able to deliver. Internal bifold doors are available in all sorts of colours, materials and styles, meaning you can choose a door that will suit your home and meet your needs. Our Oak internal bifold doors are a particularly versatile choice that complements many homes. They are also available in a wide variety of sizes. Our range includes bi fold doors which are fully finished, pre-finished/white primed, and unfinished so you can paint and personalise the doors as you so wish.

Glazed vs unglazed Oak bi fold doors

Our Oak internal bi fold doors come in a variety of styles when it comes to glasswork and glazing. Whether or not your bi fold door has glass set into it will influence the whole style and functionality of the door.

Glazed bi fold doors

Glazed bi fold doors are the more popular choice as the inclusion of glass has several advantages. Glass panels in your internal bi fold doors will allow better light flow between spaces, even when the doors are shut. What's more, if you are considering bi folding doors, it is likely because you like open-plan spaces. Having glass in your doors can help promote an open plan feel even when the doors are closed.

Express Doors offer a wide variety of glazing style in our Oak folding door sets. We offer doors with large, unbroken panels of glass as well as doors with several smaller glass windows. We also offer doors with frosted glass which is a great compromise between wanting to maximise light flow but maintain privacy between spaces when the doors are closed.

Unglazed bi fold doors

If privacy is key and light isn't an issue in your property, internal bi fold doors without glazing may be your best option. Unglazed bi folding doors have panels that are solid - this will allow the greatest privacy and sound dampening between rooms.

Even without glasswork, we still offer a range of internal bi fold door styles. From decorative panelled designs to classic understated Shaker styles, we have internal bi fold doors to suit any home.

Oak internal bifold doors are a timeless choice of door which look just as good in a modern home as they do in a traditional one. Internal Oak doors are a great choice if you love the elegant look of hardwood but don't want something too dark or heavily grained. As a relatively neutral colour, Oak will complement most interior designs and can look more expensive than painted doors.

Our range of bifold doors includes several kinds of Oak door so there's something for every budget. We offer engineered solid core Oak doors, Oak veneer hollow core doors and much more. With a variety of hardware and handles too, you can ensure everything down to the finishing touches suits your home and needs.

Styling with bifold doors

Internal bifold doors have a swathe of practical benefits but aesthetics are often what makes people choose them. Bifold doors are an ideal choice for creating flexible boundaries between open-plan living spaces. They are well-suited to doorways between the living room and dining room, or living space and kitchen. Should someone be cooking in the kitchen, or trying to work in the dining room, your bifold doors will be the perfect temporary boundary between the spaces without sacrificing open plan living.

To enhance your open space, internal folding doors with ample glazing are a good choice. Large, simple glass panels, both clear or frosted, can also help create a modern feel. Decorative glass panels, on the other hand, can suit a more traditional home.
